Appointment: Implementation Guidance
Usage
The Appointment resource is used to group the details of appointments that are booked or requested for the patient as a result of ReferralRequests
and can be found in ReferralRequest.supportingInfo
.
For the CDS API, we are using the UECDI Appointment Booking Specification. Due to this, the Appointment
resource in the context of a CDS Encounter Report follows the guidance presented in the CareConnect-Appointment-1 profile from INTEROpen.
