FHIR Profile

The Notts Care Record will use the following Interweave Profiles, as published in the Interweave Implementation Guide:

**Note:** The Interweave Data Standard for Health Referrals is currently being developed, and will be referenced here as soon as it is published. The CareConnect base definition is reference above as a placeholder


Logical Model Mental Health Referrals

With the exceptions of a handful of Crisis Appointments, all Mental health Outpatient Appointments are created on the back of an incoming referral. As such the Referral can be used to group a series of related appointments (and the resulting encounters/visits). In many ways it is similar to an FHIR EpisodeOfCare, however FHIR Appointments do not reference EpisodeOfCare but they can reference ReferralRequests

The diagram below highlights the logical model for Mental Health Referrals, and the resulting Appointments/Visits
