Topic: Encounter datetime attribute for being present


view this post on Zulip Piotr Chabot Stadhouders (Nov 15 2021 at 11:13):

Hi,

In the encounter resource there is a period attribute that defines the start- and endtime of the encounter
But, we also need an datetime attribute that indicates when the patient must be present, for example 10 minutes before starttime
Is there such an attribute? If not, what is the best way to accomplish this?

TIA,
Piotr

This would typically be communicated using an Appointment resource, not Encounter. The Boundaries and relation section of the Encounter resource provides more information on this topic.

Ah, Ok, of course

Thanks,

@Pieter Edelman
In the resource Appointment we have the attributes "start", "end", "minutesDuration" en "requestedPeriod"

Suppose an appointment exists on 15-11-2021 from 10:00 till 11:00
The patient is supposed to be present at 9:45
Notice : the schedule for the participating employee is only blocked from 10:00 till 11:00

Could you please give advise of which filling does make sense most for above mentioned attributes?

Thanks again,
Piotr

@Piotr Chabot Stadhouders , I'm not too familiar with the Appointment resource but I guess .patientInstruction would be a suitable element for this. I think it's best to ask this in the #implementers channel though.

Ok, I will ask it in that channel
I preferably need an datetime field
