Proposed definition for "ED encounter" #109

On OMRSE we have a request for "emergency medicine physician role" with the following definition:

[superclass: physician role; definition: A physician role that inheres in a human being and that, if realized, is realized by its bearer providing care for undifferentiated and unscheduled patients with illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. ]

mcwdsi/OMRSE#50 (comment)

Since this inherits "health care provider role", which is realized by a health care encounter, I would like to write a superclass restriction that specifies what type of health care encounter realizes this role. OGMS has the class "ED encounter" which is a natural candidate, but the definition is TODO. Would the following (taken from the definition above", be a good definition?

A health care encounter in which care is provided for undifferentiated and unscheduled patients with illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention.

One potential downside is that it does not specify that an ED encounter takes place in an ED.

In the proposed definition for "ED encounter", what does "undifferentiated" mean?

"I'm not sure you want to ED encounters to only take place in an ED"

  • seems like the location is key here.

Although I think it is somewhat humorous that some spam bot (or spammer) found the abbreviation "ED" in our GH Issues, can someone with admin permissions delete the comment?
