To describe a FHIR Data Store

The following describe-fhir-datastore example demonstrates how to find the properties of a Data Store in Amazon HealthLake.

aws healthlake describe-fhir-datastore \
    --datastore-id "1f2f459836ac6c513ce899f9e4f66a59" \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "DatastoreProperties": {
        "PreloadDataConfig": {
            "PreloadDataType": "SYNTHEA"
        },
        "DatastoreName": "FhirTestDatastore",
        "DatastoreArn": "arn:aws:healthlake:us-east-1:(AWS Account ID):datastore/(Datastore ID)",
        "DatastoreEndpoint": "https://healthlake.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/datastore/(Datastore ID)/r4/",
        "DatastoreStatus": "CREATING",
        "DatastoreTypeVersion": "R4",
        "DatastoreId": "(Datastore ID)"
    }
}
