Order Provider

Introduction

The Order Provider data model is a crucial component within healthcare information systems, designed to capture and manage data related to medical orders, with a particular focus on the ordering provider's information. It encompasses various elements, including provider details, order status, and relevant information pertaining to orders or requests. This model plays a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless coordination of medical orders throughout the patient's healthcare journey.

Use Case

Developers can leverage the capabilities of the Order Provider data model to support a range of technical use cases, facilitating the efficient management of medical orders and associated provider information:

Order Creation and Attribution: Developers can create systems that allow healthcare providers to generate and attribute medical orders electronically. This includes capturing the ordering provider's details, such as provider type and unique identifiers.
Provider Order Tracking: Developers can implement solutions that enable the tracking of orders based on the ordering provider. This feature can be particularly useful for monitoring the activity and performance of individual providers.
Order Status Updates: Developers can build applications that provide real-time updates on the status of orders initiated by specific providers. This ensures that ordering providers are informed of any changes or developments related to their orders.
Provider Performance Analysis: Developers can use the data model to analyze and assess the performance of ordering providers. This analysis can include metrics such as order accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to clinical guidelines.
Order Attribution: In cases where multiple providers are involved in a patient's care, developers can use this model to attribute specific orders to the responsible providers. This attribution aids in clarifying roles and responsibilities within the care team.
Provider Billing and Compensation: Billing systems often require detailed order data to generate accurate invoices. Developers can utilize this model to facilitate billing processes, ensuring that providers are appropriately compensated for their services.
Clinical Decision Support: Developers can integrate order and provider data into clinical decision support systems. This integration assists healthcare providers in making informed decisions based on patient history and orders attributed to specific providers.
Audit and Compliance: Healthcare organizations are often subject to audits and compliance requirements. Developers can use this model to maintain comprehensive records of orders, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.
Order History and Archiving: Healthcare organizations are required to maintain order records for historical and legal purposes. Developers can use this model to archive and retrieve order and provider data efficiently.
Order Analytics: Developers can perform data analytics on order and provider data to gain insights into ordering patterns, provider preferences, and areas for process improvement.

Data Fields

Attribute Name	Description	HL7 Mapping	Data Type	Label	Use Case
provider_type	Role of the provider	ORC-10, SCH-20	string	Provider Type	The Provider Type field helps in identifying and categorising the healthcare provider associated with the order or action. It clarifies whether the provider is a physician, nurse, specialist, or another healthcare professional.
xc_visit_id	XC visit id	Based on alternate_visit_id followed by visit_number followed by system generated ID	string	XC visit id	The "xc_visit_id" is a unique identifier used to group together all the interactions, procedures, tests, and check-ups associated with a single patient visit in a healthcare setting. This identifier helps in organising and managing various activities and data related to that specific patient encounter.
lineage	This is lineage attribute	Fixed - HL7	string	Lineage	"lineage" refers to the information about the origin or source of a message. It helps trace the path of the message, indicating where it originated, how it was transmitted, and any intermediate systems or components it passed through before reaching its destination.
provider_uid	This is provider_uid attribute	System Generated	string	Provider UID	This is the unique identifier assigned to a healthcare provider. It distinguishes one provider from another within the XC system.
bundle_id	ID of bundle	MSH-10	string	Bundle ID	“bundle ID" typically refers to a unique identifier assigned to a group or bundle of related messages or data elements. This identifier is used to associate multiple messages or pieces of information that are related to a specific patient, event, or transaction.
alternate_visit_id	Alternative visit id	PV1-50/PID-18	string	Alternate Visit Id	This field provides an alternate identifier for a patient's visit. It is used for tracking and cross-referencing patient visits and records, especially in scenarios requiring multiple identifiers or references. This field is recorded during patient registration and aids in accurate record linkage.
batch_id	Batch id	System Generated	string	Batch ID	"batch ID" is a unique identifier assigned to a group of messages that are logically grouped together for processing or transmission. Batching messages is a common practice in healthcare systems to efficiently manage and transmit multiple messages as a single unit
order_id	This is order_id attribute	SCH+MSH-10, ORC+MSH-10	string	Order ID	This field is an identifier associated with a specific order or request for healthcare services. This identifier helps track and manage orders within healthcare systems.
provider_id	Id of the provider	ORC-10+MSH-10,SCH-20+MSH-9,ORC-11+MSH-9,ORC-12+MSH-10,ORC-19+MSH-10	string	Provider Id	This field field identifies the healthcare provider who entered the order. This information is crucial for establishing accountability and responsibility for the order.
encounter_id	Encounter ID	PV1+MSH-10	string	Encounter ID	This unique identifier is used to associate various HL7 messages with a specific patient encounter or visit. It ensures that data and events are accurately linked to the correct patient's healthcare journey.
visit_number	Id of the visit	PV1-19-1	string	Visit Number	The visit number serves as a unique identifier for a specific patient visit or encounter within a healthcare facility. It distinguishes one visit from another.
patient_id	This is patient_id attribute	PID-3-1	string	Patient ID	The patient ID is a unique identifier assigned to a patient within the healthcare system. It is used to accurately identify and link a patient's medical records, treatments, and history.
