FHIR Task resource

Updated

Task is the FHIR resource that describes an activity to be done and tracks its progress through a workflow, with an owner, a status (requested, accepted, in progress, completed) and inputs and outputs.

It is used to coordinate work between systems, for example a lab accepting a referral or a pharmacy fulfilling an order, often together with Subscription notifications.
