Fetches and pages FHIR R4 resources (Patient, DocumentReference, DiagnosticReport, Observation, Condition) from a FHIR REST server, decodes base64 attachments, and extracts clinical narrative for OpenMed. Use before OpenMed processing when pulling charts from an EHR FHIR API (Epic, Cerner/Oracle, HAPI, or any US Core server) and you need the note text de-identified and analyzed, then results rejoined by patient. Hand narrative to openmed.deidentify and openmed.analyze_text…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Fetching FHIR R4 Resources for OpenMed FHIR R4 is the modern EHR API: a RESTful, JSON-or-XML interface over resources like `Patient`, `Encounter`, `Condition`, `Observation`, `DiagnosticReport`, and `DocumentReference`. The unstructured clinical text you want for NLP lives in **`DocumentReference.content.attachment`** and **`DiagnosticReport.presentedForm`** — usually **base64-encoded** PDF, RTF, or plain text. This skill pulls those resources, pages through results, decodes the attachments, and hands the narrative to OpenMed. ## When to use - You have FHIR R4 access to an EHR (Epic, Oracle Health/Cerner, HAPI, Medplum, Azure/Google/AWS HealthLake) and want note text for de-id and NER. - You need to page a large search result set safely (`Bundle.link[next]`). - You want to pull a patient's documents/reports and rejoin NLP output by patient and encounter. ## FHIR REST in one minute Search is `GET [base]/[Type]?param=value`. Results come back as a **searchset `Bundle`**; the next page is the URL in `Bundle.link` where `relation == "next"`. Use `_count` to size pages, `_revinclude` to pull related …

How to install
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/fetching-fhir-resources@sha256:9a2d6cdb6c10c70cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
