Example Request for Correction Workflow with Links to Example Resources

Each event below includes links to example Patient Correction Bundle, Patient Correction Communication, or Patient Correction Task resources.

EVENT 1

A patient makes a request to fix his record – the record says he smokes but he does not smoke. He uses his patient-facing app to import his medical records from Southside Clinic. Requester posts a Bundle containing a Communication resource to the Fulfiller, which then spawns a Task resource to represent the correction process and returns the Task id in Communication.about.

EVENT 2

The medical records staff person assigned to the request needs additional information – the Fulfiller posts a a Bundle containing a Communication resource on the Fulfiller indicating the request for more information. The Task resource on the Fulfiller is updated to show the status of the request for correction process. The Requester gets notification of the request for additional information and the status of the overall process by polling (or notifications from) the Fulfiller.

EVENT 3

The patient provides the additional information needed. The Requestor posts a a Bundle containing a Communication resource to the Fulfiller with the additional information provided by the patient. The Task resource on the Fulfiller is updated to show the status of the request for correction process. The Requester gets notification of the request for additional information and the status of the overall process by polling or notifications from the Fulfiller.

EVENT 4

The medical records staff person has all the information needed and refers the request for clinical review. The Task resource on the Fulfiller is updated to show the status of the request for correction process. The Requester gets notification of the status by polling or notifications from the Fulfiller.

EVENT 5
