ServiceRequest

An order or referral for a procedure, test, or service.

ServiceRequest is read-only, by id, in clinician context — there is no type-level search route and no patient-context scope. The id to read typically arrives through launch context: request the launch/servicerequest protocol scope and the EMR includes a serviceRequest id in the token response when the launch originates from an order.

Advertises a validated CA Core+ profile.
