Artifacts

Contents:

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Behavior: Capability Statements

The following artifacts define the specific capabilities that different types of systems are expected to have in order to comply with this implementation guide. Systems conforming to this implementation guide are expected to declare conformance to one or more of the following capability statements.

Patient Request for Corrections Capability Statement

Describes the capabilities for a FHIR server to support patient requests for corrections.

Behavior: Operation Definitions

These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

correction-request

The correction-request operation is used to communicate a request for correction or a logging of a disagreement of a denial from a requester to a fulfiller. It includes the ability to send the request along with attachments. The fulfiller can spawn a task to manage the correction process as part of the operation. For the operation, we expect the server to store the Communication resource, spawn a Task when appropriate, and update the Communication and return the Communication resource with reference to a Task id if a Task is spawned. The correction-request operation is also used whenever the requester provides updates to the fulfiller (additional information, conversation).

Behavior: Search Parameters

These define the properties by which a RESTful server can be searched. They can also be used for sorting and including related resources.

Search on the PatientCorrectionCommunication.about element

Search Parameter extension enabling clients to search on the PatientCorrectionCommunication.about element
Search on the PatientCorrectionTask.reasonReference element

Search Parameter extension enabling clients to search on the PatientCorrectionTask.reasonReference element

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Patient Correction Bundle

The Patient Correction Bundle contains a Patient Correction Communication and other resources related to a patient request for correction. Note that the operation has a bundle as its only parameter, as opposed to having multiple parameters for the input and output. The main reasons for this approach are:

The bundle enables the expression of the relationships among the various resources that carry the necessary information.
The entries in the bundle are full resources, which:
    allows the use of the profiling mechanisms to describe the different requirements for the different steps of the process
    sets the stage for future different RESTful approaches as an incremental change to the current specification
Patient Correction Communication

A Communication between a patient and a fulfiller relating to a patient correction request.
Patient Correction Task

Represents the process of reviewing the patient’s request for correction or the patient’s request to log a disagreement to a prior request for correction decision. This Task is spawned by the Fulfiller as a result of a post of a Communication resource that indicates a new request for correction or a new logging of a disagreement.
