Patient's appointment

Appointment resources are used to provide information about a planned meeting that may be in the future or past. A patient sometimes needs an appointment for pre-admission or consultation.

An Appointment has several fields :

  • start: When the appointment is to take place
  • end: When the appointment is to conclude
  • participant: Participants involved in the appointment (patient, practitioner, healthcare service)

To learn more about the definitions of the other fields, you can look at the definition of the fields here : https://www.hl7.org/fhir/stu3/appointment.html#resource
