ActivityDefinition: Implementation Guidance
Usage
Within the Clinical Decision Support API implementation, the ActivityDefinition resource will be used to carry a redirection to a different ServiceDefinition where required by the CDSS.
To achieve this, the GuidanceResponse will reference a RequestGroup which will reference an ActivityDefinition in its action.resource element in the form of the logical id of the ActivityDefinition.
The table below gives implementation guidance in relation to the elements within an ActivityDefinition:

ActivityDefinition elements of note
Element(s) in ActivityDefinition of particular significance to implementers are noted below:
Library element of ActivityDefinition
This element references the Library resource and this resource will carry the formal logic utilised by the CDSS.
Thus at the stage in a triage journey when the CDSS is able to return a GuidanceResponse with a status of ‘success’ and recommending a referral to another service, it will populate the ActivityDefinition.library element with the contents of the eventData element of the selected ServiceDefinition.
This logic will be used by the CDSS to choose an appropriate ServiceDefinition and it will be passed to the EMS to enable it to select that ServiceDefinition when re-directed in a triage journey.
In the event that the logic provided to an EMS yields more than one ServiceDefinition, a local process between implementers will determine which ServiceDefinition should be selected by the EMS.
