HL7® Austria FHIR® Scheduling Profile for slot data in Austria.
A Slot represents the smallest bookable time unit for an appointment for a specific service. E.g. if an examination XY usually takes 30 minutes, 30-minute units will be communicated as Slots. Additionally it contains information about the booking mode and mode of operation.
This Profile is used in the Find available Slots for potential Appointments.
