ServiceRequest

FHIR resource from the Workflow module, the ordering backbone.

Definition

ServiceRequest is FHIR's generic ordering mechanism. The intent element distinguishes the nature of the request (proposal, plan, directive, order) and the status element tracks its lifecycle (draft, active, on-hold, revoked, completed). It can be referenced by a resulting DiagnosticReport or Procedure.

Origin

Defined in the HL7 FHIR specification (R4/R5), Workflow module, published by HL7 International.
