Extension: athenahealth Department

An Extension used to reference a specific athenahealth department 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.

A department is a location or an organizational entity representing any place of service where a provider in a practice sees patients. A department can be a site of registration such as a medical office or a site where services are rendered such as the emergency room. A department can be used to associate provider groups and/or chart sharing groups in a practice to simplify its grouping of providers and their access to patient clinical data.

Every department is identified by a single numeric Department 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}.Department-{ID} where {PID} is the Practice ID and {ID} is the Department ID. This resource-level extension is used to specify the appropriate department for appropriate athenahealth FHIR resources as a literal reference to a FHIR Organization.
