      A new data type will be created:

       

      Availablity

        AvailableTime 0..*

            daysOfWeek  0..*  code (required)  days-of-week

            allDay  0..1  boolean

            availableStartTime 0..1  time

            availableEndTime 0..1  time

        NotAvailableTime  0..*

            description 0..1 string

            during 0..1  Period

       

      A new standard extension will be created for the ExtendedContactDetail data type so that the Availability data type can be added.

       

      Several resources that have a availability structures already will have those structures replaced with this data type:

      • PractitionerRole
      • Location
      • HealthcareService

      The property names for these resources will just be "availability" (replacing availableTime, notAvailable, and hoursOfOperation (on Location).

    Description

      We have a need to communicate to patients the opening hours for reaching a clinic or hospital by telephone. This seems like a valid use case to be included as a standard extension.

      Would it be an idea to include a standard extension on the Telecome data type for this? We would need to be able to say things like 8.00am-5.00pm, Mon-Fri, but I guess the rules can be more advanced than that (closed for lunch or other type of smaller availability periods per day, different opening hours different days). 

       

      This type of information brings high value to patients, so hopefully it can be prioritized!
