Topic: Orders: requestion location

Hi, could I ask for some advice where to put the Requesting Location for a ServiceRequest? I have nice places for Receiving Location (locationReference), and a single slot for Requestor (populated with the Practitioner). I have one system sending the Requesting Location in supportingInfo and in Extensions. Where else could/should it be? Thanks in advance!

Locations are buildings and rooms. They can't "request" anything. I suspect you want the requesting organization. And the way you'd do that would be to have your 'requester' be a PractitionerRole that points to both the Practitioner and the Organization.

Right. Yes it's the Requesting Org that is wanted. I think the vendor doesn't have a natural mapping from their system to PractitionerRole, so that is why they are using supportingInfo to carry the Org. I see where it should go. I wonder how many vendors have this challenge re PractionerRole?

If you wish, you can use a contained PractitionerRole that then points to the Practitioner and the Organization if there's no separate instance for the combination.

What does 'contained' mean here? Vendor could be creating a PractitionerRole object out of the deduced info that the Practitioner ordered this order from this Org?
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 09 2022 at 19:59):
Contained resources are describedhere. The PractitionerRole object would live 'inside' the ServiceRequest.

Ok. My head hurt for a bit on first read of the spec and notes :big_smile:, but I get it now. I will propose it as a better choice than extensions or supportingInfo. Thanks!
