Introduction

An EpisodeOfCare is an association between a patient and an organization / healthcare provider(s) during which time encounters may occur.

Scope and Usage

In scope of the eHealth infrastructure, creation of an EpisodeOfCare resource is triggered by a number of actions taking place out-of-band, that is, outside the scope of the eHealth infrastructure. Firstly, a patient is diagnosed with one or more conditions; then assessed as fulfilling criteria for enrollment in a telemedical care program leading to a referral being made to an organization providing such program. At this point a Practitioner within the providing organization creates an EpisodeOfCare referring to the Patient and the corresponding Conditions, all in the eHealth infrastructure. Created with status planned, the Practitioner updates the status to active once:

  • a Consent to enroll in the program has been given by the Patient
  • Adjustments have possibly been made to assigned CareTeam(s) in team.

The EpisodeOfCare functions as a representation of a program while the activities comprising it are defined in one or more CarePlan resources.

careManagerOrganization and managingOrganization

An EpisodeOfCare is required to have exactly one reference to the Organization responsible for the treatment through the element ehealth-episodeofcare-caremanagerOrganization.

The element managingOrganization references the Organization which is data controller for the EpisodeOfCare and all other resources directly or indirectly referencing it.

CareTeam and history of CareTeam

The CareTeam(s) currently responsible for the EpisodeOfCare are referenced in element team. Changes in CareTeam references are automatically maintained in the element ehealth-teamHistory.
