HL7 Version 3 Standard: Healthcare, Community Services and Provider Directory (HCSPD SFM)
DESCRIPTION
The Healthcare, Community Services and Provider Directory specifies core functionality of a Services and Provider Directory that not only supports semantic interoperability, but also valuable business initiatives such as Wait List Management. This HL7 SFM specifies a means to conduct the discovery of appropriate real-world services (such as health specialty providers, laboratories, and inclusive of non-health services as well), provides mechanisms to access rudimentary resource management, such as scheduling; and identify and document the functional requirements pertaining to the identification and location of "business-services" important to healthcare.
ALTERNATIVE NAMES
HL7 Version 3 Standard: Healthcare, Community Services and Provider Directory (HCSPD SFM) may also go by the following names or acronyms:

IMPLEMENTATIONS/CASE STUDIES
- The HCPD standard was developed as part of the Health Services Specification Program (HSSP) between HL7 and OMG . It is the platform independent model for the OMG ServD standard (see https://www.omg.org/spec/ServD/About-ServD/)

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The purpose of an HL7 SFM is to identify and document the functional requirements pertaining to the identification and location of "business-services" important to healthcare. It specifies a means to conduct the discovery of appropriate real-world services (such as health specialty providers, laboratories, and inclusive of non-health services as well), and provides mechanisms to access rudimentary resource management, such as scheduling. Accordingly, this particular SFM seeks to define the functional requirements of a Healthcare, Community Services, and Provider Directory Service (Referred to from here on as Human Services Directory or HSD). As part of the Healthcare Services Specification Project (HSSP), it enables the specification of a directory service that supports a number of activities including Credentialing, Scheduling, Authentication, Referral, and Wait List Management.
