Topic: the patient is waiting
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 28 2017 at 16:15):
How do we say "for the first 30 minutes of this procedure, the patient was waiting" or "the execution of this procedure was preceded by the patient waiting for 30 minutes" or "this procedure had 4 phases - 1- patient was waiting. 2. prep 3 surgery 4. recovery"..?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 28 2017 at 16:16):
i assume it's irrelevant whether the patient is supposed to be waiting (affter ingesting contrast) or if the team is just delayed.
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 28 2017 at 16:33):
The 4 phases would be by component procedures. You could adopt that same approach for wait time in general or you could use an extension
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 28 2017 at 16:35):
you mean one procedure resource for each phase?
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 28 2017 at 16:38):
y
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 28 2017 at 16:40):
Sounds good. How to bundle them? I mean what is the resource for the entire procedure?
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 28 2017 at 16:41):
You could make them contained if they don't have an independent lifecycle
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 28 2017 at 16:41):
(and don't need to be independently queriable - at least by most types of systems)
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 28 2017 at 16:42):
I think i will want to access them later. (e.g. for quality and performance reporting)
Brian Postlethwaite (Dec 28 2017 at 21:56):
This could also be the status history for the associated encounter, where you're tracking time.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 28 2017 at 22:14):
seems that using history could end up requiring a task or having some complicated logic, if I require things like
status=patient waiting
status=we're waiting for patient
status=patient is in waiting room but waiting for drugs to take effect
status=...
and if I want to do performance reporting on that
