Create an EpisodeOfCare - eHealth Infrastructure v3.5.1 - Sundhed.dk
Summary
A technical specification for creating and persisting a new 'EpisodeOfCare' has been released within the Danish electronic health infrastructure. This operation aims to record a patient's treatment course based on specific diagnosis and provenance information.
Details
This specification is part of eHealth Infrastructure v3.5.1, built upon FHIR R4, defined as an 'OperationDefinition: Create an EpisodeOfCare'. Its purpose is to persist a formal care episode using the transient value provided in the input. Required inputs include a Bundle containing exactly one EpisodeOfCare resource, referenced Condition resources from the diagnosis list, and at least one Provenance resource. Notably, providing a 'Privacy-provenance' with documented privacy policies is mandatory. Furthermore, the server automatically generates an additional 'origin' Provenance using data from the JWT access token to record the episode's origin. This mechanism contributes to comprehensive treatment history management and audit trail assurance within electronic health records systems.
