CapabilityStatement: SDOHCC Referral Recipient - Light Capability Statement

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/sdoh-clinicalcare/CapabilityStatement/SDOHCC-ReferralRecipientLight Version: 2.2.0
Standards status: Trial-use Computable Name: SDOHCC_ReferralRecipientLight

This resource describes the required and desired behavior of systems acting as 'light-weight' SDOH clinical care 'referral recipients'.

These systems fit into the SDOH care workflow in the same manner as 'regular' Referral Recipients, however they have simpler interface requirements reflecting the inability of the systems to store data locally and/or expose a FHIR service allowing access to that data. 'Light' referral recipients are not expected to expose any FHIR restful services. Instead, they act as clients, querying for tasks on the initiating Referral Sources or Coordination Platforms and creating any resulting Procedure records within the server they received the request from.
