Official URL: https://fhir.athena.io/StructureDefinition/ah-chart-sharing-group Version: 4.2.0
Active as of 2025-04-17 Computable Name: AthenaChartSharingGroup

An Extension used to reference a specific athenahealth chart sharing group Organization.

athenahealth provides a multi-tenant SaaS platform on which our customers provide healthcare services to their patients. Tenants are defined as practices within athenahealth. In general, a practice can be a hospital, medical center, clinic, or any other healthcare-related entity. Typically, a practice represents the business entity that provides healthcare services and can be in a single location or spread across multiple locations.

A provider group is an organizational entity representing a set of providers within a practice.

A chart sharing group is an organizational entity used to share clinical charts across provider groups that have separate financial data. By default, a practice is configured with one chart sharing group for the entire practice, but additional chart sharing groups can be defined to separate clinical data within a practice as desired.

Every chart sharing group is identified by a single numeric Chart Sharing Group ID and is associated to a specific practice in athenahealth. It is represented as a FHIR Organization having an Organization.id defined by a-{PID}.CSG-{ID} where {PID} is the Practice ID and {ID} is the Chart Sharing Group ID. This resource-level extension is used to specify the appropriate chart sharing group for appropriate athenahealth FHIR resources as a literal reference to a FHIR Organization.
