Hi - I would like to tie the HealthcareService and Patient together, as to represent that a patient used the service at a given time/date.

Encounter seems like a fit but it does not have a reference to HealthCareService only to Organization.

Any Ideas on how to tie these two together? There is no appointment information available other than the date/time

Would ServiceRequest as completed suffice?

In R5 we've extended the participants to include the HealthcareService, and also still further discussing other options here too.
Otherwise as you've noted, the appointment in R4 already has the linkage in it - so you could use that - probably more appropriate than creating a ServiceRequest if there wasn't one already too.
