finish operation

[bdc-ehealth]

@SmalsJulien

can you add a functional description of this operation?

[SmalsJulien]

This operation allows a caregiver to notify UHMEP that he has finished the treatment of a prescription.

[bdc-ehealth]

Is this a part of the eHealth standard?

[costateixeira]

If i understand correctly, I think this should not be part of the ReferralPrescription standard. It may be a standard operation, but it would be more generic, also applicable to other requests.

finish operation is an action that should not be part of referral prescription.
Based on information of clinical status of the referral prescription the "finish operation" action can take place

@costateixeira from your comment, I understand that "finish" is a more generic action that is executed via a FHIR operation, and this operation should be described in an IG guide. Correct? My question: if it is a generic operation (not on instance level, not on resource level, but on system level) how would you describe the semantics of this operation? What would be the types of its parameters? (https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/operations.html)

[SmalsJulien]

@bdc-ehealth Do you have some information about the description in the fhir specification of this operation please ?

[bdc-ehealth]

WG: the back-end would like to describe this in the form of FHIR resources. We should confirm if the GP/Nurse implementors also see this benefit (@hansdekeersmaecker)

[SmalsJulien]

To be more FHIR compliant, we try to minimize the use of operations. For the finish operation, we use now the FHIR PATCH method.
