FHIR Workflow resources

Background

This page contains preliminary scoping discussion on the question of what resources will be needed to manage the ordering/fulfillment process, and more generally planning, scheduling and reminders, in a fHIR-based restful environment.

Scheduling

(if this is different to ordering)

Summary Lists

? Do we need a resource for this?

• i.e. medication list, problem list, goals list
• generally represent a subset of the full information for each list
• prepared for a particular purpose, but that purpose
• metadata:
  • Who prepared it
  • when it was prepared
  • why it was prepared
  • how it was prepared (method, sources considered)
  • who it was intended for

• LM: I think a summary list is just a special type of "organizer". Document sections and sub-sections serve the same purpose. They have a type & title. The "who" metadata probably isn't as important, but still applies. Lists and other organizers are ways of collecting "like" resources together for a particular use - often presentation, but sometimes for other reasons. They may or may not have anything to do with Workflow.
