We need an attribute in the Appointment resource where I can put the date and time at which the patient is supposed to be present

In the resource Appointment we have the attributes "start", "end", "minutesDuration" en "requestedPeriod"

Suppose an appointment exists on 15-11-2021 from 10:00 till 11:00
The patient is supposed to be present at 9:45
Notice : the schedule for the participating employee is only blocked from 10:00 till 11:00

Could you please give advise of which filling does make sense most for above mentioned attributes?

Thanks,
Piotr

Typically this would go in patientInstruction as there isn't an obvious value for it to be a discrete/computable value. If you need a discrete/computable value, it would probably need to be an extension. You could consider proposing it as a standard extension.
