Dates of a health worker's posting

Hi All,
Based on requirements for a health worker registry in Ghana, I have opened an issue:
  https://github.com/openhie/openinfoman/issues/13
for discussion as a potential Change Proposal. I would appreciate your feedback.

The main point is that there is no place to track the begin dates of a health worker’s posting at a facility.

Having that information in CSD (and it is quite common to have the beginning date of a posting) would allow one to better the question on which services are provided at a facility within a given date.

Cheers,

Hi Carl.

So… I’m going to make some assumptions based on the
existing CSD schema:

#1. The health worker’s relationship to the facility is
specified through the provider-facility relationship (CSD doc page 86). Quote:
A provider may have a relationship with multiple facilities from which care
services are provided; these are cross-referenced here by facility ID. ./facilities/facility/@oid

#2. The health worker’s relationship to the services
provided at the facility are specified through the provider-facility-service
relationship (CSD doc page 86) . Quote:
A provider may have service-delivery relationships with a facility or
facilities. A reference to each Service + Facility combination is maintained;
this supports discovery regarding where (and when) this provider is delivering
which services. ./facilities/facility/service[@oid]

If we follow assumptions 1 & 2, and the health worker
is deemed to provide even a generic service at the indicated facility, then the
attributes of the “service” data type are available to be leveraged.
This includes “operating hours”, which has the following schema:

xs:sequence

<xs:element
name=“openFlag” type=“xs:boolean”/>

<xs:element

name=“dayOfTheWeek” type=“xs:integer”/>

<xs:element

name=“beginningHour” type=“xs:time”
minOccurs=“0”/>

<xs:element

name=“endingHour” type=“xs:time”
minOccurs=“0”/>

<xs:element

name=“beginEffectiveDate” type=“xs:date”/>

<xs:element

name=“endEffectiveDate” type=“xs:date” minOccurs=“0”/>

</xs:sequence> </xs:complexType>

It would appear that, to use the operatingHours
construct, we would need to indicate which days of the week the HW is providing
this service at this facility; there is not a way to just say “all of
them”. There is a way, however, to put the begin and end effective dates
on this.

I’m not convinced that the right answer here is to put in
a new construct that could potentially be in conflict with this one. Do we have
an “eat our own cooking” option, here? If we do need a change, should
it be to make dayOfTheWeek an optional data element in the same way that the
“time” elements are optional?

What do others think about this idea?

Warmest regards,

Derek.

HI Derek,
I am not sure we want to use the operatingHours of the service, it may end of being a lot of maintenance if we have more than one service offered by a provider at a facility. This was the main reason for suggesting to add something under provider/facilities/facility
that would be a “default” for all the services listed underneath.

The dayOfTheWeek thing was the main reason that I suggested the new complex type. I suppose that making the dayOfTheWeek a minOccurs=0 and unbounded would solve the problem. It puts a bit more logic on the free/busy processor but keeps the data model
cleaner.

Cheers,

Hi Carl (and everyone).

Personally, I like the idea of keeping the data model cleaner. Do you see
(or does anyone else see) any problems with setting minOccurs=0 for the
dayOfTheWeek attribute (see the thread - 2 messages down)? We would have to
ensure that any CP (for IHE) indicated what the default processing would
have to be for a FreeBusy service call if days of the week are unspecified.

It looks like a viable option with that relaxation.

Thoughts?

Derek.

PS: I'm noticing that there are behaviours, for attributes like
operatingHours, that we should likely specify in the CSD profile to ensure
that they are used the same way by everyone. My sense, now that we're into
using it, is that there are a few attributes where the behaviour is not
obvious. Is anyone else feeling that way?
