If considering implementing more than a simple client, extensive pre-connectathon work is recommended.
'''Based upon [https://github.com/argonautproject/scheduling/wiki Argonaut Scheduling project]'''
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
This track will focus on these transactions
 
 
 
* Appointment Availability Search Operation
 
* Appointment booking Operation
 
* Patient facing Search for their booked Appointment (GET interaction)
 
* Handling of other outcomes

This track will also focus on the steps to support basic patient and provider access to a provider's calendar and appointment requests.  For this connectathon the scheduling tract activities are distinct from the the provider directory tracts.  However,  the assumption is that, in the future, the endpoints will be pre-coordinated and the servers will be linked to the provider directories.

==== Step 1: Availability Search =====
 
 
 
:Action: Appointment Availability Search Operation using [https://github.com/argonautproject/scheduling/wiki/Operations#appointmentfind Appointment$find]
 
:Precondition: The Organization/Location/Practitioner or HealthcareService has an endpoint defined to a FHIR server where a Schedule/Slot can be queried ( othersTBD)
 
:Success Criteria: Return a list of available appts
 
:Bonus point:  Errors  ( others tbd)
 
 
 
====Step 2: Book Appointment====
 
:Action: Client select from list of proposed appointments and PUT/POST to server
 
This appointment should have a status of proposed or pending, and participant statuses of needs-action ( review -todo)
 
:Precondition: ( review -todo)
 
:Success Criteria: Appointment passes validation against the Appointment schema and schematron, and has these statuses set
 
:Bonus point: (tbd)
 
 
 
====Step 3: Confirm and Process Appointment====
 
Test the ability to interrogate a schedule and confirm and process a  requested appointment
 
:Action: Server receives an Appointment resource, and updates the Appointment with details of the participants answer...If all participants in the appointment are now accepted and the appointment was in pending or proposed then the appointment status can be changed to booked.
 
:Precondition: (tbd)
 
:Success Criteria: The server is able to confirm appt and return status to Client
 
:Bonus: Errors - The server is returns that it can not confirm appt
 
 
 
====Step 4:  Cancel Appointment====
 
:Action: Client PUTs an appointment with a cancelled status ( how to do this?)
 
:Action: Server receives an cancel Appointment resource, and processes. ( how to do this?)
 
:Precondition: an appointment was present on the server with a booked status <!-- What setup is required prior to executing this step? -->
 
:Success Criteria: The history of the appointment will show that it had a booked status, then was changed to a cancelled status ( detail tbd) <!-- How will the participants know if the test was successful? -->
 
:Bonus point: server reject a status change to cancelled if an encounter was created - (if business rules justify this)<!-- Any additional complexity to make the scenario more challenging -->
 
====Step 5:  Amend or Change Appointment====
 
:Action: Client PUTs an amended appointment ( how to do this?)
 
:Action: Server receives an amended Appointment resource, and processes. (how to do this?)
 
:Precondition: an appointment was present on the server with a booked status <!-- What setup is required prior to executing this step? -->
 
:Success Criteria: The history of the appointment will show that it had a booked statusand several versions (detail tbd) <!-- How will the participants know if the test was successful? -->
 
:Bonus point: server rejects the amendment- (if business rules justify this)<!-- Any additional complexity to make the scenario more challenging -->
 
 
 
===3 Create Encounter===
 
:Action: Create an encounter to represent when a patient arrived at the facility for an appointment created earlier
 
:Precondition: An appointment existed that was ready to be turned into an encounter
 
:Success Criteria: An encounter can be found on the server and can be retrieved through searching on the encounter's appointment search parameter
 
:Bonus point: Can show a history for the encounter and move it through some of the various states

Background for Service Provider Directory

If considering implementing more than a simple client, extensive pre-connectathon work is recommended.

Patient Administration

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 track will test how FHIR can be used to standardize the exchange of services/provider directory data. Defining how healthcare organizations can participate in a federated healthcare directory will promote interoperability and innovation. (And hopefully review the Provider Directory created by MiHN, and some mappings on the IHE HPD profile into FHIR)

Proposed Track Lead

(tentative) Coordinator: Brian Postlethwaite(sgtshultzpos)


Expected participants

Provider Directory:

  • Telstra Health (HealthConnex)
  • Epic
  • Sequoia
  • Touchstone (AEGIS)

Roles

Provider Directory

Service Provider Directory Server

A Server that has Service/Provider directory data in it (with associated schedule information)

Scenarios

1 Directory Search - Provider, Location, Organization

Action: Perform a search for Provider Directory related resource.
See Argonaut Provider Directory Connectathon for 1-6 (which have example queries there also)
Precondition: Directory FHIR Resources should already be on a FHIR server to query
Success Criteria: The desired resources were found
Bonus point: The criteria for the resources used several restrictions, possibly Specialty or Location

We would also like to test to see if extracts can work using paging over an open search, or history can work in these scenarios.

TestScript(s)

The supporting TestScripts and corresponding fixtures have been committed to the FHIR documents Github repository at: https://github.com/FHIR/documents/tree/master/connectathons/NewOrleansJan2018/Connectathon17/Provider-Directory
