Physical Activity Implementation Guide
1.0.0 - STU Release 1 United States of America flag

This page is part of the U.S. Physical Activity IG (v1.0.0: STU 1.0) based on FHIR R4. This is the current published version. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

CapabilityStatement: PA Service Provider (Light)

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/physical-activity/CapabilityStatement/pa-service-provider-light Version: 1.0.0
Standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 2 Computable Name: PAServiceProviderLight

Describes the expected capabilities of a system used by a personal trainer, community fitness organization, or other entity that delivers services that help a patient to improve or maintain their level of physical activity. This set of capabilities is appropriate for service providers that CANNOT expose their own FHIR server and that rely on the Care Manager to store Tasks, reports and other resources.

REST client behavior

A 'light' Service Provider has less sophistication than a full Service Provider. They rely exclusively on the care manager to store the Tasks and any reports associated with referrals. Therefore, all interactions are handled as 'client' functionality.

Allows a service provider to make updates to a plan owned by a care manager.

  search-type SHOULD

Allows retrieval of care plans for a given patient.
