# Organization (FHIR R5)

<FhirResourceHeader fhir="r5" slug="organization" />

A formally or informally recognised grouping of people or organisations formed for healthcare purposes. Read-only in the public API — represents the healthcare organisation that owns the data. All resources are scoped to a single organisation per API key.

> This page is auto-generated from the server's FHIR R5 CapabilityStatement (`/fhir/R5/metadata`).

## FHIR R5 Specification

Official spec: [Organization — HL7 FHIR R5](https://hl7.org/fhir/R5/organization.html)

## Supported Interactions

- **read** — Read a single resource by ID (`GET /fhir/R5/{Resource}/{id}`)
- **search-type** — Search resources with query parameters (`GET /fhir/R5/{Resource}?...`)

## Scopes

Scopes are shared across FHIR releases — the same `system/Organization.*` scope grants Organization access on both `/fhir/R4` and `/fhir/R5`.

- <Scope name="system/Organization.rs" /> — see [scope reference](/v1/scopes#system-organization-rs)

## Search Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| `_id` | token | Exact match. For identifiers use `system|value` format. |

## Endpoints

Operations, request/response examples, and code samples mirror the R4 surface — call them at `/fhir/R5` with the same token and scopes. See the [Organization R4 reference](/v1/api/r4/organization).
