Querying actions by their ism_transition/current_state

Hi all,

While testing EHRBASE and EHRSCAPE trying to get ACTIONs that have a specific ism_transition/current_state, the results are empty.

Context:

We have this action template: https://github.com/ehrbase/ehrbase/blob/develop/tests/robot/_resources/test_data_sets/valid_templates/minimal/minimal_action_2.opt

And generated a JSON instance based on that one, that has:

"ism_transition": {
    "current_state": {
                    "value": "planned",
                    "defining_code": {
                        "terminology_id": {
                            "value": "openehr"
                        },
                        "code_string": "526"
                    }
                }
            }

Full example: action2.instance.json (3.5 KB)

I commit several of those compositions to one EHR, everything works OK.

Now if I execute this AQL:

{"q":"select a_a from EHR e contains COMPOSITION a contains ACTION a_a[openEHR-EHR-ACTION.minimal_2.v1] where a_a/ism_transition/current_state/defining_code/code_string = '526'"}

The result has no rows.

Also on EHRSCAPE tried to get the full ACTIONs, this also has no rows.

{"q":"select a_a from EHR e contains COMPOSITION a contains ACTION a_a[openEHR-EHR-ACTION.minimal_2.v1]"}

I’m not sure why this doesn’t work or what should be the “correct” way of doing it. There should be something wrong in what I’m doing, because it’s strange to have the same behavior on two different implementaions.

On thing I noticed from the EHREXPLORER tool from Marand, is when I want to query the ism_transition, it doesn’t show the internal structure:

Any guidance on this area would be very useful, thanks!

Unless this is secret, I wonder if we should move it to the platform implementation category?

no secret, not sure why AQL category is private though, that was the category I assigned, not the SEC one.

There is an AQL category under specifications as well…

yes, that was the issue, thought AQL was a normal category but it’s private.

Hi Pablo,

I have certainly been able to do queries on Better CDR like this in the past. I’ll see if I can replicate.

THis works for me…

But does not work with ehrbase . Interestingly, if you remove the where clause the ism_transition is not returned in either a n ACTION retreive or a full composition GET (xml or json) -looks like the ism_trnsition is just not being commited correctly.

I detected that too, the ism_transition doesn’t seem to be saved in EHRBASE.

ism_transition attribute is not present in your OPT. Why?

That might be because it was built with TD, which did not have support for ism_transition constraints. But it should not matter, should it?

I’m not sure. :slight_smile:

I would assume that if there is no constraint in the .opt then the default RM ism_transition attributes/constraints should apply. i.e everything is allowed.

It is valid to not having any constraints for a node, that means any ism_transition is accepted.
