ABUS.10 Display Available Slots From a Specific Service

In order to book a patient into the selected provider service

As a Integrated Urgent Care Service Provider

I want to view the available slots for a provider service for a specified timeframe.

Commentary

The list returned must be limited to only appointment slots at appropriate locations, for example:

• display available appointments for a specific GP
• display available appointments for a GP Extended Access Hub
• display appointments for an Urgent treatent Centre

GP Connect use case can be found at GP Connect search for free slots use case

Acceptance Criteria

• The list must contain the actual geographic location of the appointment, rather than generic details of the location of the overall service provider.
• The list must contain details of the start/end times of the available slots.
• The available appointments must be capable of being retrieved from any provider, regardless of the relationship that the consuming user’s organisation has with that provider (does not apply to GP Connect booking).
• The method of retrieval must not depend on any pre-installed data linkage processes between the requesting user’s organisation and the provider organisation. (does not apply to GP Connect booking).
• Where there are no available slots, the provider must send an appropriate response to indicate this.
• Where there are no available slots, the consumer must present an appropriate message to the user to indicate this.
• The provider system must return available slots without requiring the potential patient to be “registered” with the provider.
• Where the provider has a number of diaries available to fulfil a request (say, when 2 or more clinicians are delivering surgeries at the same site) the provider must return all of those slots as part of the initial response.
