4.10 Resource ProcedureRequest - Content

This resource maintained by the Patient Care Work Group

A request for a procedure to be performed. May be a proposal or an order.

4.10.1 Scope and Usage

These resources have not yet undergone proper review by PC, CQI, CDS, and OO. At this time, they are to be considered only as draft resource proposals for potential submission.

A Procedure Request is a record of a request for a procedure to be performed. It can be used to represent a procedure that is planned, that is proposed, or that is ordered.

The procedure request may represent an order that is entered by a practitioner in a CPOE system as well as a proposal made by a clinical decision support (CDS) system based on a patient's clinical record and context of care. Planned procedures may also be represented by this resource.

4.10.2 Boundaries and Relationships

Notes to reviewers:

Please note that the boundaries between a Diagnostic Order and a Procedure Request will need to be concretely defined by Patient Care.

Also note that referrals should use the ReferralRequest resource rather than ProcedureRequest.

4.10.3 Background and Context

The notion of a procedure request is of key importance to clinical decision support system which may recommend procedures based on a number of criteria evaluated on patient and other clinical information.
