Care Coordination and 360 Referrals (Proof of Concept) - Local Development build (v0.1.0) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: HealthcareService

Official URL: https://fhir.acmeexample.org.uk/PatientCareCoordination/StructureDefinition/HealthcareService Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-11-03 Computable Name: HealthcareService

Care Directory - a service that patients can be referred to (the Referral Recipient), provided by an organisation (ODS) at one or more locations. The master record is held in a directory: the NHS England Directory of Services, the eRS service catalogue, or a regional / local directory. Follows IHE mCSD HealthcareService.

The service a patient is referred to - the Referral Recipient in ServiceRequest.performer and Task.owner. Follows the IHE mCSD HealthcareService; found with Find Matching Care Services [ITI-90].

Master Record

Services are a central record held in a directory. In England there are several, each for a part of the NHS - see Care Services Directory (mCSD).

Element Master record NHS England API
identifier, name, type, specialty, location, telecom, referralMethod, endpoint Directory of Services (DoS) DoS Search API (FHIR R4) GET /HealthcareService - published, not yet available; UEC DoS SOAP / REST APIs (UEC / NHS 111)
eRS service ID and service details eRS service catalogue eRS FHIR API A033 / A035 GET /R4/HealthcareService, A010 service search (eRS only); identifier system http://fhir.nhs.net/Id/ers-service in the API examples
providedBy (ODS code) ODS See Organization
endpoint DoS Endpoint; BaRS Endpoint Catalogue (BaRS only) DoS Search API _include / _revinclude Endpoint
Data Source (providers maintaining their services) DoS DoS Ingest API - mCSD Care Services Feed [ITI-130]

The DoS Search API's HealthcareService uses NHS England code systems for type, category and characteristic (e.g. https://fhir.nhs.uk/England/CodeSystem/England-HealthcareServiceType) and identifies services by resource id; eRS uses its own. This profile does not fix either - To confirm whether the DoS and eRS service identifiers should be sliced.

FDP Canonical Data Model

Equivalent FDP Canonical Data Model (CDM) v1.0.0 objects: eRS Service (properties not checked - To confirm). The CDM has no general service object; the referral carries serviceId (eRS) and specialtyId.

The CDM is a downstream persistence model, used here as evidence of what NHS operations record, not as a design source. Mapping by property name - To confirm. See FDP Canonical Data Model Mapping for the full mapping.
