ProcedureRequest

This topic describes information for the ProcedureRequest resource.

To interact with the REST endpoints in the ProcedureRequest resource, see ProcedureRequest.

Overview

The ProcedureRequest resource describes the request or order for a procedure or activity performed with or on a patient. This resource includes a wide range of requests including surgery procedures, diagnostic procedures, therapies, patient care activities, referrals, and consults. This resource does not include medication, dietary, and appointment requests. Due to the similarity and merging of resources in future FHIR versions, our current implementation of ProcedureRequest includes DiagnosticOrder and ReferralRequest.
