How to apply PlanDefinition inorder to generate a carePlan

Question

I am newbie to FHIR. Trying to create careplan by applying PlanDefinition/$apply. Are there any examples available so that I can take them as reference and generate careplan out of planDefintion. I am able to post an planDefinition but I don't have any clue on implementing $apply out of it.

Answer 1

There is an implementation of PlanDefinition/$apply here: https://github.com/DBCG/cqf-ruler/blob/master/r4/src/main/java/org/opencds/cqf/r4/providers/PlanDefinitionApplyProvider.java#L84

Note that there is in-progress work on that provider to make it more modular, but the logic is essentially the same.

Answer 2

Have a look at this example from the FHIR Wiki

Request: Apply the low suicide risk order set to patient 124

GET [base]/PlanDefinition/example/$apply?subject=Patient/124

Response: Returned on successful application of the order set

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
