Topic: How to accommodate ContactPoint.use = "After hours"
David McKillop (Jul 29 2020 at 00:48):
We have a use case where the after hours contact details of a HealthcareService need to be captured. Given that the data type ContactPoint is normative and the value set contact-point-use is normative and required, I'm assuming an extension for "After hours contact" is a viable option? Any other suggestions or feedback? Cheers

Note: we also have a similar request for the "after hours" contact details for a PractitionerRole - in an aged care facility transfer form.

You could consider the contact extension that was added to the VhDir profile for that

Thanks @Brian Postlethwaite - I can see the extension contactpoint-availabletime would work. FYI - @Kieron McGuire , @Danielle Tavares , @Brett Esler. Cheers

@David McKillop is that extension going to work? We would need a coded description of the availability for ContactPoint rather than specific times / days.
David McKillop (Aug 03 2020 at 22:40):
@Brett Esler the extension contactpoint-availabletime would accommodate after hours, not by saying “after hours”, but by indicating the hours for that particular contact eg 8am-5pm Tel 12345678; 5pm-8am Tel 87654321. The contact could be listed in order of priority by using the data element HealthcareService.telecom.rank. I'll need to check with the use case/product owner (@Kieron McGuire ), if providing the contact numbers at specific time ranges is sufficient to indicate "after hours" or "regular hours"?

I thought the aim here was to define a code describing the 'role' the contact details are taking wrt HealthCare service not so much ContactPoint.use (which is more like the type of contact point) but more detail on how it relates to the resource.

What could be an HL7v2 message type example to map/match contactpoint-availabletime extension?
The XTN data type does not seem to have anything to code such construct. Segments like ORG (Practitioner Organization Unit) or PRA (Practitioner Detail) from the Personnel Management chapter do not help as well.

There may not be one. You could as on #v2 to FHIR
