      Composite search parameters are constructed using a tuple of values. In a specified composite search parameter, each member loses the ability of chaining. The NDH IG specifies the basic search parameter 'new-patient-from-network', offering users the flexibility to perform chaining functions. These include searching a network based on identifier, name, or partof. Additionally, the FHIR special search parameter '_filter' enables users to apply the basic search parameters 'new-patient' and 'new-patient-from-network', as defined by NDH IG, along with logical operators. This allows users to tailor search criteria to their specific business needs.
       
      The NDH IG will incorporate the '_filter' search parameter into the capability statement, mandating server support for the '_filter' search parameter.

    Description

      The search parameters:

      operate on the same extension http://hl7.org/fhir/us/ndh/StructureDefinition/base-ext-newpatients, but "new patient from network" does not seem to produce a desired result without the use of new patient. However, I could not find guidance for implementers informing them of that case.
