I am mapping FHIR resource with our Project entities.
Now i unable to find any suitable FHIR resource which is used for Patient Intake and Output entity.

Just a thought- can't we simply use Observation resource? either intake or output, they are kind of observations or results. Also, if intake is medicines, MedicationAdministration can be used to capture that data. It should be based on the data which resource fits best. may be experts can tell more about it. Thanks.

@Sreenivas Dunna I'm not sure if I understand correct what you're looking for.
Do you mean intake in the sense of "the patient takes something" (like medication, as Aditya presumes? What would be an example for output then?
Or do you mean a patient's stay in hospital? That would be EpisodeOfCare; you might also look into Encounter.
Sreenivas Dunna (Sep 07 2016 at 09:42):
Thanks for you response Aditya and Stefan,
@Stefan Examples of patient output: Urine, Diarrhea and Emesis/GT
Intake: P.O., IV Piggybag, I.V. and medication.
These observation for Patient who admitted/stay in Hospital.

OK, so it's about any substance that enters or leaves the patient ;-)
For intake, use MedicationAdminstration, as Aditya already wrote. P.o., i.v. etc. are the methods how the substance is given to the patient. For that, you have MedicationAdministration.route and if you use SNOMED (which is a question of license) you may also use the example value set, which means "47625008" for i.v. or "26643006" for p.o. and so on.
Output in the sense of the examples you mentioned would be represented in an Observation, e.g. as a code for a symptome (like "Diarrhea" or "Blood in urine") or posssibly a quantity (like in quantity of urine)
