Availability Exception

Summary

In CARE, an Availability Exception represents periods when a schedulable user (e.g., a healthcare provider) is unavailable for appointments, such as during vacations, training sessions, or unforeseen absences. This concept aligns with FHIR's approach to managing non-availability through the Schedule and Slot resources.

Design Philosophy

• Explicit Non-Availability: Clearly define periods when a provider is not available to prevent scheduling conflicts.
• Integration with Scheduling: Ensure that availability exceptions are considered when generating available slots for appointments.
