Matching an autogenerated ID to my existing Database ID

1

Hello Community,

I was wondering if i can get some feedback on how to map an autogenerated ID created by my FHIR server to an existing Database ID for some patient data.

Thanks!

If you want your database id exposed in the FHIR record, you could store it in the FHIR resource as a .identifier. If not, then you’ll need to add a column to your database with the FHIR id or add an additional mapping table that links the two.
