Changes to support Appointment Booking

For appointment booking there is a new transport type, format and interaction. There are also two new address types, ASID and ODS.

The new items are listed below:

  • Transport: http
  • Format: FHIR
  • Interaction: Scheduling
  • address: and ODS or ASID referencing the AS Object in SDS for the booking endpoint for this service (with the form “ODS:xxxx” or “ASID:xxxx”)

An example of how this will look in XML is below:

<ns1:serviceEndPoints>
  <ns1:EndPoint>
     <ns1:endpointOrder>1</ns1:endpointOrder>
     <ns1:transport>email</ns1:transport>
