Subscriptions on FHIR
summary
Covers the current FHIR Subscription gaps and a concrete proposal: add a Topic resource that advertises allowed filters, switch subscriptions to reference topics, and let payload be empty, ID-only payload, or full resource; include an authorization header and an error count so servers report failure reasons. Connectathons exercise REST hooks, WebSockets and email and reveal inconsistent behaviors (HTML vs raw FHIR vs attachments), security storage concerns for secrets, and scalability limits for infinite criteria; draft resources exist and interoperable implementations are still being refined.
