Previous Page - Resource Profiles

The primary participants in referral functions within the scope of the BSeR FHIR IG are the referral service request initiator, referral service request recipient, and referral service request patient. The resource profiles for the referral service request initiator and referral service request recipient use the FHIR R4 Practitioner and Practitioner Role as their base resources. The referral service request patient is the US Core Patient profile.

The referral initiator is the practitioner that initiates the referral task by sending the referral service request to the referral recipient. The initiator is related to an organization and a service delivery location.

Referral Service Request Recipient

The referral recipient is the practitioner that performs services requested in a referral service request received from a referral initiator. The referral recipient owns the referral task and authors the referral feedback. The recipient is related to an organization and a service delivery location.
