A MedicationRequest detailing the specific medication to be dispensed.

Note that this may be an existing MedicationRequest that is recommended to be documented, or it may be a proposed MedicationRequest provided as part of the document recommendation.

A MedicationStatement that is the result of completing this 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.

A clinician-friendly explanation for the recommendation; patient-friendly if the recommendation is patient-facing.

The pertinent positive or negative information relevant to the recommendation.

This will typically be the most relevant case features used in determining applicability, but could also be other patient-specific information relevant to interpreting or assessing appropriateness of the recommendation with respect to the patient.

A clinician-friendly rating, or score, for the recommendation; patient-friendly if the recommendation is patient-facing.

An Extension

If true indicates that the request is asking for the specified action to not occur.

The attributes provided with the request qualify what is not to be done. For example, if an effectiveTime is provided, the "do not" request only applies within the specified time. If a performerType is specified then the "do not" request only applies to performers of that type. Qualifiers include: code, subject, occurrence, perormerType and performer.

In some cases, the Request.code may pre-coordinate prohibition into the requested action. E.g. "NPO" (nothing by mouth), "DNR" (do not recussitate). If this happens, doNotPerform SHALL NOT be set to true. I.e. The resource shall not have double negation. (E.g. "Do not DNR").

The business identifier for this task.

A link back to the definition that produced this recommendation. Typically a Plan or Activity Definition.

Enables a formal definition of how he task is to be performed, enabling automation.

BasedOn refers to a higher-level authorization that triggered the creation of the task. It references a "request" resource such as a ServiceRequest, MedicationRequest, ServiceRequest, CarePlan, etc. which is distinct from the "request" resource the task is seeking to fulfill. This latter resource is referenced by FocusOn. For example, based on a ServiceRequest (= BasedOn), a task is created to fulfill a procedureRequest ( = FocusOn ) to collect a specimen from a patient.

The current status of the task.

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.

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

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

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".

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

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

The task's priority.

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.

Activity types for use in computable guidelines

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

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 healthcare event (e.g. a patient and healthcare provider interaction) during which this task was created.

For some tasks it may be important to know the link between the encounter the task originated within.

Identifies the time action was first taken against the task (start) and/or the time final action was taken against the task prior to marking it as completed (end).

The date and time this task was created.

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

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. 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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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

The value of the Output parameter as a basic type.

Task outputs can take any form.

A task to be performed.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

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.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.
