Topic: Organization's working hours
Mike Ryzhikov (Jun 25 2021 at 08:09):
Hello! How can I define the working hours (hoursOfOperation) for a department (Organization Resource) within the healthcare provider profile? I know that the Location resource has an element "hoursOfOperation", but the Location is used to describe the physical level (not logical) of an organization. Please help me to clarify it.

PractitionerRole has an availabileTime. You'd have a distinct PractitionerRole for each organization they work for. You can do distinct PractitionerRoles for each department if you wish.

HealthcareService, Location and PractitionerRole all have that concept, organization doesn't. So depends which one you're after.

It looks strange, don't you think? To set the working hours of the department I need to use a distinct PractitionerRole (fake role)... Could you answer why an organization resource doesn't have it in a core element list? Please clarify the reason or correct me in my understanding of the use case. Is it an unreal case to provide working hours for a department (as a logical structure item of medical practice)?

The location has the hours there.

The location associated with that department.

Several departments can be located in one Location.

Sorry, I had missed that you wanted the hours of the department, not the hours of a provider within the department. I think what you want is HealthcareService - that allows you to capture hours at a location offered by a particular organization.
