Performing Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on HealthLake data stores

Although you use native AWS actions when managing data stores, importing data, and exporting data, you use four main FHIR HTTP operations to Create (POST), Read (GET), Update (PUT), and Delete (DELETE) FHIR resources within a HealthLake data store. The following topics describe how to perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on your HealthLake data store using the FHIR REST API services. You must use a Signature Version 4 signing process to authenticate HealthLake API requests sent through an HTTP client. To learn more, see Signature Version 4 signing process in the AWS General Reference.
