Add urgency as an input property #38

Open cooperthompson opened 7 years ago

cooperthompson commented 7 years ago

Based on PA discussion, we propose adding a priority input property so that the scheduler (patient or staff) can specify if the appointment is emergency/urgent/routine.

Will PA create a value set in core we can reuse?

brianpos commented 7 years ago

At this point I think we're letting the content be self contained in your IG until we're happy and then promote the whole thing into core.

how does this differ from the appt-type parameter? These values are included see:http://build.fhir.org/ig/argonautproject/scheduling/ValueSet-types.html

Healthedata1 commented 7 years ago

Appt-type has alway seemed to conflate orthogonal concepts to me and is poorly described in all HL7 standards IMO. Although that may reflect the real world...

see #39

Healthedata1 commented 7 years ago

Two things I need to understand regarding this issue:

  1. Clarifying with WG is this a new element on Appt vs a new search parameter in the Argo Scheduling Operation? ( and does that matter i.e., does argo need to provide guidance on how to map a "urgency" parameter to the existing concept in the FHIR Resources?)

  2. Clarify the Overlap of these concepts with Appt-type Value Set:

    • I believe Appt-type is currently defined in FHIR resource as "circumstances surrounding the visit" ( e.g. Routine, Walk-in, Recheck, Discharge, Ermengency, etc)
    • vs (as I believe is commonly used in scheduling community) a Service type ( e.g. Office Visit ) as I believe is commonly used in scheduling community

Urgency used to prioritize Patients and "bump" decision to defer this issue to future.
