Jayashree Surnar (May 03 2017 at 12:15):
if i want to search for a patient based on service, how to do this? actually i don't know how to represent the services? what resource should i use? if our hospital providing 100 services then how to implement that? please any suggestions?
Thank you.
Sunanda Veeraganti (May 03 2017 at 12:50):
@Jayashree Surnar There are two types of services. HealthcareService and Computer related services. There is resource for HealthcareService.
Jayashree Surnar (May 03 2017 at 12:53):
Thank you @Sunanda Veeraganti , so if we are providing 100 services then we have to create 100 instances right?
Sunanda Veeraganti (May 03 2017 at 12:55):
@Jayashree Surnar what kind of services your hospital is providing?
Sunanda Veeraganti (May 03 2017 at 12:58):
In Healthcare service resource you can describe a single service or category of services
Jayashree Surnar (May 03 2017 at 13:04):
sunanda veeraganti, actually in HealthcareService there are some services right. so in the begining we decided to use those. but don't know exactly how many services we are providing right now. but once we know the process we can proceed.
Jayashree Surnar (May 03 2017 at 13:05):
if you don't mind please can you explain about category of services? i'm not getting.
Sunanda Veeraganti (May 03 2017 at 13:11):
@Jayashree Surnar You can separate services into categories. Appointment service category, slot service category, HealthCare service category and Schedule service category.
Jayashree Surnar (May 03 2017 at 13:16):
@Sunanda Veeraganti , here my doubt is, if we are providing 100 services then should i create 100 instances? for example Medical Oncology, Cardiology, Gynaecology ect.

Jayashree Surnar (May 04 2017 at 04:08):
@Sunanda Veeraganti , HealthcareService resources do not represent Computer related Services (not SOA).
Grahame Grieve (May 04 2017 at 04:11):
I haven't figured out what 'services' we are talking about here, or what is trying to be tracked
Jayashree Surnar (May 04 2017 at 06:00):
this is our hierarchy,
hospital(xyz)....using organization resource
department(medicine)....using organization resource
in departments we have the services like Nephrology, cardiology etc.
in cardiology we have the teams like interventional cardiology, non interventional cardiology.
in Nephrology also we have some other teams.
how to implement this, any suggestions please?
for wing,ward,room,bed ...we are using location resource.
Jayashree Surnar (May 04 2017 at 06:03):
what i'm thinking is, we can use Organization resource for Department and for services we want to use HealthcareService resource. but don't know whether this is correct or wrong and don't have any idea about remaining. so please help.
Grahame Grieve (May 04 2017 at 09:27):
sounds right to me
Jayashree Surnar (May 04 2017 at 09:49):
@Grahame Grieve , what about the teams in cardiology like interventional cardiology, non interventional cardiology. and in Nephrology also we have other teams. any suggestions please.
Michele Mottini (May 04 2017 at 09:53):
I'd use Organization
Lloyd McKenzie (May 04 2017 at 10:32):
If you have a group of people who can be responsible for action, that's Organization
Jayashree Surnar (May 04 2017 at 12:13):
@Lloyd McKenzie , how to link these departments, teams and the services?
and one more doubt here ward(Location) or department(Organization) both are same right and we need to take one of them.
Jayashree Surnar (May 04 2017 at 12:34):

Lloyd McKenzie (May 04 2017 at 12:35):
Location is a physical structure. Organization is a group of people. They can be interrelated, but they represent different things. The challenge is that when they have a 1..1 relationship, people often don't differentiate. You can link the organizations using Organization.partOf. And you can tie the service to the department with HealthcareService.providedBy. The trick is linking the teams to the service - that's not something that I can see support for in core yet, so you might need an extension. @Brian Postlethwaite ?
Jayashree Surnar (May 04 2017 at 12:38):
thank you. @Lloyd McKenzie for clearifying my doubt. but still problem for teams.
Jayashree Surnar (May 05 2017 at 05:01):
@Lloyd McKenzie , we decided to do like this. Hospital(organization), medicin/surgical Department(organization), sepecialty/services like cardiology, nephrology(Organizations), teams like interventional cardiology, non interventional cardiology(Organization) and link as partOf.
Jayashree Surnar (May 05 2017 at 05:04):
it's easy. but still have doubt for services/specialty whether to take Organization or HealthCareservice? but if we take HealthCareService it's difficult to link.
Lloyd McKenzie (May 05 2017 at 15:39):
It's not wrong to have both - one representing the group of people responsible and one representing the capacity to act at a particular site.
Brian Postlethwaite (Jun 05 2017 at 04:20):
HealthcareService resources are used to describe what services are provided by an organization at a location. These may or may not include the practitioners that provide those services (some it matters, others it doesnt)
It would also matter who the audience for your "directory" of content was when choosing what values to put into the categories and service type fields. Consumers have very different needs than practitioners, so context of use is important here.
The intention is the the Category is about a broad grouping of services to assist in the searching process. (and also user interfaces when browsing content)
