CareTeam

The Care Team includes all the people and organizations who plan to participate in the coordination and delivery of care for a patient.

http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU3.1.1/StructureDefinition-us-core-careteam.html

All patients in Canvas have a CareTeam by default. The identifier for the CareTeam resource for a patient is the same as the patient identifier.

See our Zendesk article for information about setting up Care Teams and Care Team Roles in Canvas.

CareTeam update

Update a CareTeam resource.

The CareTeam update endpoint acts as an upsert, so there is no CareTeam create endpoint. Any participants included in the payload will be the patient’s active care team participants. While any participants no longer included in the payload will be marked as inactive.

If-Unmodified-Since Header:
Due to a legacy design detail with the CareTeam implementation, there is a specific condition under which inclusion of this header will not produce expected results. In the case where all participants of a CareTeam are removed through the Canvas user interface (i.e. not through the FHIR API), the last modified date for the CareTeam will be equal to the last modified date of the patient record until another participant is added to the CareTeam.

More information about the If-Unmodified-Since header can be found in the Conditional Requests documentation.
