Hi All, is there any structure to capture education details of a patient? The requirement is that a professional wants to assess how educated a patient is so that if required , Procedures & Immunization can be explained or if not , it can be explained to carers of the patient.
Grahame Grieve (Mar 22 2016 at 11:59):
there is no structure for this.
Grahame Grieve (Mar 22 2016 at 11:59):
you could define some extensions on Patient, or you could design a questionnaire that contained the questions they want to know the answers too
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 22 2016 at 13:33):
Questionnaire to initially capture the information. Observation if you want it to be searchable/retrievable. (It's a point-in-time name-value pair, which is what Observation does.)
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 22 2016 at 13:33):
If you want to capture the delivery of education, that would be Procedure.

Hi All , Is there a FHIR design to capture the education details of a Patient/Practitioner ? or a Person in general ? Thanks !
Brian Postlethwaite (Apr 12 2016 at 10:24):
Only there pfor the Practitioner, as this may relate directly to the provision of care.
The education information of a Patient is not typically relevant to providing care.
Brian Postlethwaite (Apr 12 2016 at 10:25):
(and isn't on Person, as that is a special case resource that is there to link together the various person type resources as to their equivalence - and confidence in the association)
Brian Postlethwaite (Apr 12 2016 at 10:26):
We are working through some extensions in PA on the Patient and the account/insurance sections which might have some form of this, but not there yet. - But don't believe will be on the Patient resource itself at this point.
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 12 2016 at 15:24):
I think traditionally patient education is typically captured as an Observation.
Gana Pemmanda (Apr 12 2016 at 21:54):
How is the Practioner's education and qualifications, bio etc.. captured? Are they extensions on the Practitioner resource itself?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 12 2016 at 21:55):
Practitioner.qualification
Brian Postlethwaite (Apr 12 2016 at 21:56):
Thanks, yes thats right

@Lloyd McKenzie / @Brian Postlethwaite is a practitioner's medical school treated different from where they went for residency / fellowship or should all of those be considered under practitioner qualification?
The other possibility I'm seeing is:
Practitioner.qualification = medical school
vs
PractitionerRole = residency / fellowship
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 10 2021 at 19:27):
Qualification is essentially "who says you know something and what did they say you know?" So your medical school and your residency program would both issue qualifications (assuming you passed both) and then the medical licensing body based on those credentials and possibly other information would then issue another credential to practice. PractitionerRole is really around "what are you allowed to do when acting on behalf of organization X?". That's often influenced by what credentials you have, but it's still distinct.

Qualified to do many things. Hired to do 1.
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 11 2021 at 05:33):
(Or sometimes hired to do something completely different ;) )
