Justification

This track will extend on the experience that was had at the last connectathon and help improve the experience with these resources, and extend into the Encounter resource.

Proposed Track Lead

Coordinator: Brian Postlethwaite

Expected participants

Brian Postlethwaite - HealthConnex

Roles

Server

A Server Role can be either a simple FHIR server that just stores the scheduling resources, or could be smart and perform placing/allocation services on the appointment requests coming in.

Requester

A client that creates appointments (as either booked resources, or requests which need a placer to fill)

Placer

A placer is a client (or server) that processes appointment requests and allocates either participants, or times to these requests.

Scenarios

If creating a client application, this track should require minimal work in advance of the connectathon, though at least a bit of playing is recommended. If creating a server, advanced preparation will be required, but this scenario should somewhat limit the effort involved.
