Topic: HealthcareService usage with a client application
Severin Skillman (May 19 2020 at 16:14):
The HealthcareService spec specifically states the following:
HealthcareService resources do not represent Computer related Services (not SOA)
We would like to enable a client application to interact with FHIR that acts on behalf of a HealthareService at an Organization. Am I understanding correctly that this would not violate the above statement since the HealthcareService is not modelling the client application itself?

I am not sure I understand the question. What does it mean for "a client application to interact with FHIR"? It obtains data from a FHIR server? It updates data on a FHIR server? As for acting on behalf of a Healthcare service, is that through some type of authentication and authorization process?
Severin Skillman (May 19 2020 at 17:22):
Yes it would auth using OAuth2 client credentials grant to receive a token that includes a reference to the HealthcareService that it is acting on behalf of. It would be able to search and create specific resources that have an association with this HealthcareService.

Doesn't sound like anything you describe is in violation of the part you quoted...
