Question: glasses prescription in FHIR

Nov 21, 2014

Question

What FHIR resource should be used for eye-glasses prescription?

Answer

At the moment, there’s really no proper way. There is supply, which covers part of a glasses prescription, but that’s probably not the important bit. In general, as far as I know, there is no engagement between Ophthalmologists and HL7, and I don’t know where they are with regards to interoperability.
