Hi I am an OpenEMR (a free open-source electronic medical record and practice management software) developer. We are considering to implement FHIR . Anyone is interested of helping or advising for that cause?
eyal wolanowski (Dec 26 2019 at 08:13):
OpenEMR is built in the following way : A clinic have multiple facilities . each facility have users with permissions. To each patient you can create multiple forms that are connected to a specific encounter. each encounter is connected to a certain appointment that can be recurrent in a specific facility. Do you think FHIR can support this ?
Grahame Grieve (Dec 26 2019 at 09:02):
sure. Look at Patient, Encounter, Questionnaire, HealthcareService

Thanks !! At least as much as I can see a subject like "recurring appointments" is problematic to implement . I saw that some people advised to use appointment extension for that matter . Do you know of any other alternative ?

probably best ask on #patient administration WG

Represent an OpenEMR recurring appointment as a series of FHIR appointments

Could also be a ServiceRequest that has a bunch of individual Appointments "basedOn" it

recurring as in "every tuesday from 1 to 1:30 pm" ? (an infinite series)

Catering for recurring appointments is currently being discussed on the weekly PA conference calls - Wed 3pm US eastern.
And we've started a page on confluence to document the process, considerations and what we intend to cover before we start modifying the core spec, or proposing any extensions.
We're keen to have as much representation/participation as possible, so please come along, or just contribute onto the page.
