Resource appropriateness
Tracking Financial information is vital in Patient Administration and Finance systems in most Healthcare Organizations. This resource provides the individual items to track.

Content sources
Existing normative V3 and V2 specifications
Example Scenarios
- Lab system sends ChargeItems containing billing codes for administered services to the patient's account
- Billing System queries patient account for all billable ChargeItems to create an Invoice/Claim
- Hospital maintains internal catalogue of statistically relevant services. All systems providing these services post ChargeItems into the Accounts of the Patients for whom these services have been provided. Customized queries can be used to analyze distribution of services among patient cohorts or developement of services provisions over time
Resource Relationships

- Reference to Encounter/EpisodeOfCare (context)
- Reference to Patient|Group (subject)
- Reference to any type of Request (basedOn)
- Reference to any type of Event (service)
Timelines
