Patient Administration
The Patient Administration Work Group supports the HL7 mission by defining the requirements and specifications to support the interoperability among clinical and non-clinical systems regarding patient encounters and administrative registries.
This group produces normative standards by:
- Identifying requirements and providing specifications for exchanging:
- Demographic and administrative data used to describe patients, persons, service delivery locations and patient encounters [scheduled and/or actual], including healthcare providers, places, organizations, and their relationships in the context of healthcare encounters.
- Administrative data to describe resources, their availability, [for example, represented by schedules or by status], and regulatory topics such as licensing and credentialing information about individuals, animals, organizations and devices directly or indirectly involved in the delivery of healthcare services.
- Identifying requirements and providing specifications regarding the dynamic behaviors involved in requests and their fulfillment with respect to:
- Additions and modifications to registries such as patients, persons, service delivery locations, healthcare providers, places, and organizations
- Scheduling of appointments for services, encounters and associated resources. These processes include the functions of requesting, booking, notification, and modification pertaining to appointments and resources.
- Queries for information
- Defining the domain and process of scheduling. As a domain, Scheduling offers a generic set of messages and behavior to implement any number of Scheduling scenarios. As a process, Scheduling offers an abstract data model and a set of operations to any domain within HL7 that utilizes scheduling concepts.
