Service Request
A direction given by a regulated health care professional within their authorized scope of practice to request a procedure, diagnostic test, medication or other health care service. This includes direct orders and medical directives.
Note:
A service request is a formal, documented request that serves as an authorization to proceed with the task and can be used to initiate a workflow, transfer care or manage a patient's treatment plan.
A service request captures clinical intent. It can be treated as a planned activity, with the difference that it represents an actionable request.
Requests are distinct from events in that an event is primarily focused on what has occurred or is occurring while requests deal with what is "desired" to occur. While creating a request or definition can be seen as a type of event, the focus is not the "creation" but the desire/intention.
For Laboratory Service Requests, Service Request Category Code is fixed to "LAB".
For Medical Imaging Service Requests, Service Request Category Code is fixed to "DI".
