Services Directory and Scheduling
Submitting WG/Project/Implementer Group
Patient Administration/Implementer Communities
Justification
A key challenge of healthcare is knowing about the resources available in the local, regional, and global healthcare networks. When a patient's care is transitioned from one setting to another, it's critical to know about the doctors, hospitals and clinics available to receive that patient. When a patient is travelling, it improves care when local healthcare facilities can retrieve the patient's up to date medical history from a primary care provider. There are currently no widely adopted standards for exchanging this directory information. Currently, healthcare organizations use a variety of labor intensive processes to gather, normalize, de-duplicate and consume this data. They share custom flat files, scrape web pages, or pay 3rd parties to curate their practitioner data. Organizational data is often isolated in different networks and aren't easily shared. This project will define how FHIR will be used to standardize the exchange of provider directory data. Defining how healthcare organizations can participate in a federated healthcare directory will promote interoperability and innovation. This directory structure can later be extended to support other workflows like electronic scheduling, advanced case management, and automated insurance eligibility checks.
This track will also lead into the creation of Appointments based on schedules found associated with the above services/providers, and also verify the workflow of proceeding from a booked appointment into the creation of the Encounter.

Roles
Service Directory Server
A Server that has Service/Provider directory data in it (with associated schedule information)
Patient Consumer application
An application that should be used by a client to search for where services could be provided, and can book an appointment
Provider Consumer application
An application that should be used by a provider to search for information to support creating a referral, and can book an appointment on a client's behalf
