Service Request Category
The following data elements pertain to directions given by a regulated health care professional, within their authorized scope of practice, to request a procedure, diagnostic test or other health care service, reflecting what is known by the requester at the time of the request. Requests for medication and medical devices are captured in the Medications and Medical Devices and Equipment domains, respectively. Details about activities performed to enact the service request or visit details related to patients engaging in the service request (e.g., appointment, visit to a service provider and results) are captured elsewhere.
