Usage

The Appointment resource is used to represent a meeting planned in response to a ServiceRequest. References to other resources are used to convey the details of the appointment including ServiceRequest the appointment is based on (Appointment.basedOn) and participants (Appointment.participant.actor) in the appointment such as a Patient, PractitionerRole, or HealthcareService. Systems SHALL support start and SHALL support one of end or minutesDuration or both.

Notes

.id

  • used to uniquely identify the resource
  • if a persistent identity for the resource is not available to use when constructing a message Bundle for transmission via Direct Messaging, a UUID SHOULD be used in this element (with a corresponding value in Bundle.entry.fullUrl)

.text

  • Used to provide human readable human readable that can be pasted into other systems with complete information about the appointment
  • Where populated:
    • .text.div SHALL include a full text summary of the appointment
    • .text.status, populate with the fixed code "generated"

.identifier

  • MAY be populated to share business identifers used to reference this resource in subsequent messages
  • identifier.system and identifier.value SHALL be mustSupport whenever there is a reference or identifier present

.status

  • Typically populated with "booked" (or "cancelled" if unbooked)

.description

  • Title of the appointment (e.g. the Subject on an appointment in MS Outlook)

.start

  • Populate with the appointment start time
  • Format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss+zz:zz (e.g. 2015-02-07T13:28:17.239+02:00 or 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z).

.end

  • 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: One of end or minutesDuration must be supported
  • Populate with the appointment end time
  • Format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss+zz:zz (e.g. 2015-02-07T13:28:17.239+02:00 or 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z).

.minutesDuration

  • 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: One of end or minutesDuration must be supported
  • Duration of appointment in minutes
  • Populate with a positive integer

.created

  • Populate with the date that this appointment was initially created (NOT the time of the appointment itself)

.comment

  • Additional comments and details about the appointment (i.e. the Body of an appointment in MS Outlook)

.patientInstruction

  • Detailed information and instructions for the patient
  • If systems are capturing instructions to a patient independently from other comments, they SHOULD use the patientInstruction field.

.basedOn

  • Associates the Appointment with the ServiceRequest being performed
  • SHALL be populated with a reference to the ServiceRequest being performed
  • If the Appointment is being transmitted via messaging, this element SHALL either:
    • .reference a resource included in the message as a Bundle.entry, or
    • include an .identifier previously known to both systems

.participant

  • Repeating element identifies one or more participants in the appointment where
    • .participant.type is a value from ParticipantType(extensible)
    • .participant.actor a reference to one of:
      • the Patient being seen > SHALL be the same as the ServiceRequest.subject
      • the PractitionerRole seeing the patient
      • the Location of the appointment
    • .participant.status is expected to be "accepted" for a booked appointment

Note:

  • If an Appointment is being transmitted via messaging, referenced Patient, PractitionerRole and Location resources SHALL either:
  • .reference a resource included in the message as a Bundle.entry
  • include an .identifier previously known to both systems
