Definition of ehealth-trigger-enablement-code: Controlling Trigger Reaction in ServiceRequest

Details

This document defines the detailed technical specification for the 'ehealth-trigger-enablement-code' extension, part of the FHIR standard v8.0.0 release. This feature is applied to the ServiceRequest resource and provides control over whether a specific service reacts when other activities within a care plan meet trigger conditions. Technically, it is implemented via an Extension element, with its value specified as a Code type. This capability allows for the clear definition of complex workflows and necessary automated interventions at the system level within medical plans. Based on FHIR standards, this aims to improve interoperability in Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems and provides technical basis for achieving dynamic process control based on triggers, which is relevant for building advanced healthcare information linkage infrastructure in Japan.
