Overview

This asset is a component of MuleSoft Accelerator for Healthcare.

MuleSoft Accelerator for Healthcare enables healthcare providers to unlock critical patient data to build a patient 360 within Salesforce Health Cloud, faster and easier than ever before. The solution includes pre-built APIs, connectors, integration templates, and prescriptive end-to-end reference architecture to bring patient demographics information and COVID-19 test results from any EHR into Health Cloud using HL7 V2 or FHIR standards.

The solution also provides a library of United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) and FHIR R4 resources to help healthcare developers adhere to interoperability needs and jumpstart the development of healthcare digital transformation initiatives.

Use case covered

The VisionPrescription resource is intended to support the information requirements for a prescription for glasses and contact lenses for a patient. Corrective optical lenses are considered a controlled substance and therefore a prescription is typically required for the provision of patient-specific lenses.

Vision prescriptions may only be issued by providers who have optical diagnosis within their scope of practice, typically ophthalmologists and optometrists. The prescription is a time-limited, typically two years, authorization for the provision of an unlimited number of lenses, glasses or contacts, which conform to the authorized specification by providers which have lens provision within their scope of practice, typically ophthalmologists , optometrists and opticians.

Health insurers typically require a copy of the prescription to ensure that a vision professional has examined the patient and that the power of the lenses exceeds some minimum, such as +- 0.75 diopters, to qualify for reimbursement under the insurance coverage.

The VisionPrescription resource is an "request" resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow Request.
