5.6 Resource HealthcareService - Content

Patient Administration Work GroupMaturity Level: 1Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

The details of a healthcare service available at a location.

5.6.1 Scope and Usage

The HealthcareService resource is used to describe a single healthcare service or category of services that are provided by an organization at a location.
The location of the services could be virtual, as with TeleMedicine Services.

Common examples of HealthcareServices resources are:

  • Allied Health
  • Clinical Neuropsychologist
  • Podiatry Service
  • Smallville Hospital Emergency Services
  • Respite care provided at a nursing home or hostel
  • 24hr crisis telephone counseling service
  • Information, advice and/or referral services; Disability, Telecommunications
  • Rural TeleHealth Services
  • Hospital in the home
  • Yellow Cabs
  • Pharmacy
  • Active Rehab
  • Social Support
  • Drug and/or alcohol counseling
  • Day Programs, Adult Training & Support Services
  • Consulting psychologists and/or psychology services
  • Group Hydrotherapy
  • Little River Home Maintenance

HealthcareService resources do not represent Computer related Services (not SOA)

Example uses of HealthcareService resources are:

  • National Services Directory - Consumer Focus
  • National Services Directory - Practitioner Referrals Searching
  • Organization's Client Portal - to locate services / book appointments
  • Address book of services for Referrals
    including references to Questionnaires for assessments that are required as part of the referral
  • Health Network internal directory Used for tracking available services offered internally, and also those offered by business partners.
    This information may also include costing information.

5.6.2 Boundaries and Relationships

The HealthcareService resource can be used with the Schedule resource to define actual availability of the service. This would be done by using the Schedule's Actor property.

When creating an Appointment, the HealthcareService is to be assigned to one of the participants.
It is up to the scheduling system to determine if the service is available, and can be accepted.

This resource is referenced by Account, Appointment, AppointmentResponse, Practitioner and Schedule
