Topic: How to find a patients Location?
Johan Eltes (Nov 28 2017 at 16:09):
As part of follow up of care-initiated infections, we need to query the server for the patients location (physical) at a certain point in time (without any particular clinical context). How would that be accomplished?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Nov 28 2017 at 16:18):
i don't see anything already there.
you could start with an extension to patient like "patientTracking" that contains a location and a time period. (just a first thought)
Ewout Kramer (Nov 28 2017 at 16:57):
We can track a patient in the context of a visit, see Encounter.location. Would that suffice?
Johan Eltes (Nov 28 2017 at 17:02):
We thought so at the beginning of our investigation. It may though be too inefficient. We'll do a bit of desk-top simulation of a flow to fully analyse the consequences of that option.
