Newbie here...

I am looking to use fhir to gather patients in our end point that have a certain diagnosis and or certain insurance.

Is this what fhir can be used for?

In the past I have done the normal SQL query/extract to CSV file. Looking to use fhir for this for future.

Thanks in advance for your time

Sure you can, for example to retrieve all the patient with an observation based on the code : 8302-2

[FHIR EndPoint]/Patient?_has:Observation:patient:code=8302-2

For the python part have a look at this git :

It's a simple example how to use python client to interact with a FHIR server.

For fhir-py to create the same query use raw search :

Last but not least, check out our neat implementation of SQL On FHIR aka FHIR SQL Builder
