How the model is organised

Patient and care team

Patients, People and Users identify the patient and staff. Care team assignments, Consents and clinical privileges hold access and decision context.

Visit

Encounters link Patients and People, then carry visit reasons, Observations, clinical notes and prescription orders.

Follow-up

Care tasks link a patient to an assigned person and due work.

Financial work

Charges link to Encounters; Payments link to Patients.

Keys and references

The Id field identifies each business record except Users, where the User reference appears in the schema. A patient can have many Encounters; an Encounter has one Patient and one Clinician. Clinical notes has an Encounter and Author. Observations and visit reasons have an Encounter and recorded by. Prescription orders has an Encounter and Prescriber. Charges has an Encounter. Payments has a Patient, so payment reconciliation uses patient and receipt context rather than a direct charge reference. People links to Users through User.

Migration order

  1. Users and People. Establish named staff and their user links.
  2. Patients. Import patient numbers, names and assigned clinicians.
  3. Consent and authority. Add Consents, care team assignments and clinical privileges with status and dates.
  4. Encounters. Create visits with patient and clinician references.
  5. Clinical work. Bring in visit reasons, Observations, clinical notes and prescription orders against the correct encounter.
  6. Operations and finance. Add care tasks, Charges and Payments with the appropriate patient or encounter link.
