Stream: workflow
Topic: Task?
Kevin Mayfield (May 30 2019 at 15:47):
I'm working on options to improve a document based workflow. One of the core tasks in the workflow is arranging forms to be completed. Long term I want to have a route to Structured Data Capture but in the short term I want to suggest a mechanism for requesting a FHIR Questionnaire to be answered and the answer can be paper form or online form.
I think this is sending/allocating a FHIR Task to a Practitioner, the Task is linked to a FHIR ActivityDefinition. Does that sound correct? If so where should I link in the Questionnaire, I feel it needs to be in the narrative for the Activity but would it also be in Task.in?
Kevin Mayfield (May 30 2019 at 15:57):
Maybe I should be using ServiceRequest as this task could be viewed as an clinical assessment.
Lloyd McKenzie (May 30 2019 at 16:45):
SDC will soon be including some specific guidance here. I don't expect we'll use ActivityDefinition. Instead we'll have a specific code for "please complete questionnaire" and the Questionnaire will be referenced as a Task.input.
Lloyd McKenzie (May 30 2019 at 16:45):
(ActivityDefinition just seems like too much overhead)
Kevin Mayfield (May 30 2019 at 19:24):
Thanks. That seems makes more sense.

How soon is soon in this case @Lloyd McKenzie ?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 03 2019 at 13:35):
As part of the next published release. We agreed to the change as part of ballot reconciliation. Target for publication is fall, though I hope to have the guidance in place in the CI build by early July

So its documented in trackers at this point? (or just that it will be covered?)
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 04 2019 at 01:09):
I believe it's in trackers - either approved or slated for block vote.
Brian Postlethwaite (Jun 04 2019 at 01:17):
Against Task, or others too?
Trying to work out filter to go find them...
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 04 2019 at 01:47):
SDC
Kevin Mayfield (Jun 04 2019 at 07:26):
Along similar lines would SDC cover a Task of please complete/return this report (response is a FHIR Document). Here I'm thinking the input would be a profile and GraphDefinitions.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 04 2019 at 15:08):
SDC wouldn't do that as it's questionnaire-focused. Are you thinking of an asynchronous invocation of the $document operation?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 04 2019 at 15:09):
One think I've been wondering is if we want a generic way to use Task to support the asynchronous invocation of an arbitrary operation. Is there interest in doing this for other types of operations?
Kevin Mayfield (Jun 05 2019 at 09:32):
Yes, in the ideal world would retrieve the document or query the data directly from the NHS but I think we will come across data sharing/technical issues. So we would ask the Patient or Practitioner to upload the (FHIR) via a Task.
