These states enable coordination of task status with off-the-shelf workflow solutions that support automation of tasks.

An explanation as to why this task is held, failed, was refused, etc.

This applies to the current status. Look at the history of the task to see reasons for past statuses.

Indicates the "level" of actionability associated with the Task, i.e. i+R[9]Cs this a proposed task, a planned task, an actionable task, etc.

This element is immutable. Proposed tasks, planned tasks, etc. must be distinct instances.

In most cases, Tasks will have an intent of "order".

Indicates how quickly the Task should be addressed with respect to other requests.

Used to identify the service level expected while performing a task.

A task to be performed.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Task that this particular task is part of.

Allows tasks to be broken down into sub-steps (and this division can occur independent of the original task).

This should usually be 0..1.

The current status of the task.

These states enable coordination of task status with off-the-shelf workflow solutions that support automation of tasks.

An explanation as to why this task is held, failed, was refused, etc.

Codes to identify the reason for current status. These will typically be specific to a particular workflow.

This applies to the current status. Look at the history of the task to see reasons for past statuses.

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

Indicates the "level" of actionability associated with the Task, i.e. i+R[9]Cs this a proposed task, a planned task, an actionable task, etc.

Distinguishes whether the task is a proposal, plan or full order.

This element is immutable. Proposed tasks, planned tasks, etc. must be distinct instances.

In most cases, Tasks will have an intent of "order".

Indicates how quickly the Task should be addressed with respect to other requests.

Used to identify the service level expected while performing a task.

A name or code (or both) briefly describing what the task involves.

The title (eg "My Tasks", "Outstanding Tasks for Patient X") should go into the code.

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

A free-text description of what is to be performed.

The request being actioned or the resource being manipulated by this task.

Used to identify the thing to be done.

If multiple resources need to be manipulated, use sub-tasks. (This ensures that status can be tracked independently for each referenced resource.).

The entity who benefits from the performance of the service specified in the task (e.g., the patient).

Used to track tasks outstanding for a beneficiary. Do not use to track the task owner or creator (see owner and creator respectively). This can also affect access control.

The date and time this task was created.

Most often used along with lastUpdated to track duration of task to supporting monitoring and management.

The creator of the task.

Identifies who created this task. May be used by access control mechanisms (e.g., to ensure that only the creator can cancel a task).

Individual organization or Device currently responsible for task execution.

Identifies who is expected to perform this task.

Tasks may be created with an owner not yet identified.

Additional information that may be needed in the execution of the task.

Resources and data used to perform the task. This data is used in the business logic of task execution, and is stored separately because it varies between workflows.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

A code or description indicating how the input is intended to be used as part of the task execution.

Codes to identify types of input parameters. These will typically be specific to a particular workflow. E.g. "Comparison source", "Applicable consent", "Concomitent Medications", etc.

Inputs are named to enable task automation to bind data and pass it from one task to the next.

If referencing a BPMN workflow or Protocol, the "system" is the URL for the workflow definition and the code is the "name" of the required input.

The value of the input parameter as a basic type.
