Appointment and care schedule
Bookable schedules of practitioners, rooms and devices, slots, appointments, reschedules, cancellations and no-shows. The visit itself is recorded as a patient encounter.

Published results
The independent second-provider study, fixtures and the full research protocol remain open. Runtime promotion is governed by the package allocation holds.
Subject boundary and candidate types
- Schedule
- Slot
- Appointment
- AppointmentParticipant
- Cancellation
- NoShow
Deep research questions
- How is an appointment linked to the encounter that follows it?
- Who may book, move or cancel an appointment, and how is the reason kept?
- How are overbooking and emergency reserve slots represented?
Verifiable invariants
- A slot is never booked beyond its stated capacity
- A cancelled appointment keeps who cancelled it and why
- An appointment does not prove that care took place
End-to-end acceptance scenario
For a synthetic clinic day, publish two practitioner schedules, book, move and cancel appointments, record one no-show and link two attended appointments to their encounters.
Negative case
An attended appointment is used as proof that a service was delivered and billed, although the patient left before being seen.
Approaches to compare
- HL7 FHIR: Schedule, Slot and Appointment resources
- IHE profiles for scheduling exchange
- Outpatient scheduling and waiting list practice

Semantic fit requires boundary research; a published model does not by itself complete this card.
Result requirements
Every card is executed together with the full research contract: definitions, fields and cardinalities, lifecycle, sources, data mastership, rights, the five object facets, at least eight invariants, positive and negative examples, dependencies, migration and applicability limits.
