Services Registry
A system that knows what services are available at what institutions to assist a referrer to find the correct place to send the referral
Scenarios
Find place to send referral to
Using queries against the healthCareService resource, locate the recipient of the service. Assume an organization for this scenario
Create Referral
Against the target server Create a ReferralRequest resource, then a Task resource with the Task.owner pointing to an organization and the Task.subject referring to the patint and task.input referring ReferralRequest. The task.status will be 'created'
Creator is a Practitioner (the GP)
- Action:
- Precondition:
- Success Criteria:
- Bonus point:
Receive Referral
The recipient of the referral assigns the task to a grader (by setting the owner to a practitioner ) & sets the status to ready
Could locate by direct query against task or use an operation
query needs to be all referralrequest tasks for this organization in the created state
Grade Referral
Practitioner locates referrals assigned to them in a 'ready' state. Could locate by direct query against task or use an operation
Accept: change owner to the scheduling department (another organization)
Reject: change status to 'failed'. Assign owner to the initial creator (the GP)
Create Appointment
Scheduling department (Organization) create appointment
query is all tasks where the subject is a referralrequest and owner is that organization and state changes to completed - because we assume that the purpose of the task was to arrange an appointment for a patient.
Could create a new task for the outpatient clinic (where the appointment is to be) - with task.input set to the appointment
