FHIR CodeSystem/$find-matches for property search

Overview

Returns concepts matching a set of property criteria. This is a reverse lookup — “find me concepts with these characteristics” rather than “look up this specific code.” Maps to OMOPHub’s search capabilities with domain, vocabulary, and concept class filters.

array
