- Field Detail
  - identifier
```
protected List<Identifier> identifier
```
    This records identifiers associated with this appointment concern that are defined by business processes and/or used to refer to it when a direct URL reference to the resource itself is not appropriate (e.g. in CDA documents, or in written / printed documentation).
  - status
```
protected Enumeration<Appointment.AppointmentStatus> status
```
    The overall status of the Appointment. Each of the participants has their own participation status which indicates their involvement in the process, however this status indicates the shared status.
  - cancelationReason
```
protected CodeableConcept cancelationReason
```
    The coded reason for the appointment being cancelled. This is often used in reporting/billing/futher processing to determine if further actions are required, or specific fees apply.
  - serviceCategory
```
protected List<CodeableConcept> serviceCategory
```
    A broad categorization of the service that is to be performed during this appointment.
  - serviceType
```
protected List<CodeableConcept> serviceType
```
    The specific service that is to be performed during this appointment.
  - specialty
```
protected List<CodeableConcept> specialty
```
    The specialty of a practitioner that would be required to perform the service requested in this appointment.
  - appointmentType
```
protected CodeableConcept appointmentType
```
    The style of appointment or patient that has been booked in the slot (not service type).
  - reasonCode
```
protected List<CodeableConcept> reasonCode
```
    The coded reason that this appointment is being scheduled. This is more clinical than administrative.
  - reasonReference
```
protected List<Reference> reasonReference
```
    Reason the appointment has been scheduled to take place, as specified using information from another resource. When the patient arrives and the encounter begins it may be used as the admission diagnosis. The indication will typically be a Condition (with other resources referenced in the evidence.detail), or a Procedure.
  - reasonReferenceTarget
```
protected List<Resource> reasonReferenceTarget
```
    The actual objects that are the target of the reference (Reason the appointment has been scheduled to take place, as specified using information from another resource. When the patient arrives and the encounter begins it may be used as the admission diagnosis. The indication will typically be a Condition (with other resources referenced in the evidence.detail), or a Procedure.)
  - priority
```
protected UnsignedIntType priority
```
    The priority of the appointment. Can be used to make informed decisions if needing to re-prioritize appointments. (The iCal Standard specifies 0 as undefined, 1 as highest, 9 as lowest priority).
  - description
```
protected StringType description
```
    The brief description of the appointment as would be shown on a subject line in a meeting request, or appointment list. Detailed or expanded information should be put in the comment field.
  - supportingInformation
```
protected List<Reference> supportingInformation
```
    Additional information to support the appointment provided when making the appointment.
  - supportingInformationTarget
```
protected List<Resource> supportingInformationTarget
```
    The actual objects that are the target of the reference (Additional information to support the appointment provided when making the appointment.)
  - start
```
protected InstantType start
```
    Date/Time that the appointment is to take place.
  - end
```
protected InstantType end
```
    Date/Time that the appointment is to conclude.
  - minutesDuration
```
protected PositiveIntType minutesDuration
```
    Number of minutes that the appointment is to take. This can be less than the duration between the start and end times. For example, where the actual time of appointment is only an estimate or if a 30 minute appointment is being requested, but any time would work. Also, if there is, for example, a planned 15 minute break in the middle of a long appointment, the duration may be 15 minutes less than the difference between the start and end.
  - slot
```
protected List<Reference> slot
```
    The slots from the participants' schedules that will be filled by the appointment.
  - slotTarget
```
protected List<Slot> slotTarget
```
    The actual objects that are the target of the reference (The slots from the participants' schedules that will be filled by the appointment.)
  - created
```
protected DateTimeType created
```
    The date that this appointment was initially created. This could be different to the meta.lastModified value on the initial entry, as this could have been before the resource was created on the FHIR server, and should remain unchanged over the lifespan of the appointment.
  - comment
```
protected StringType comment
```
    Additional comments about the appointment.
  - patientInstruction
```
protected StringType patientInstruction
```
    While Appointment.comment contains information for internal use, Appointment.patientInstructions is used to capture patient facing information about the Appointment (e.g. please bring your referral or fast from 8pm night before).

```
    The service request this appointment is allocated to assess (e.g. incoming referral or procedure request).
  - basedOnTarget
```
protected List<ServiceRequest> basedOnTarget
```
    The actual objects that are the target of the reference (The service request this appointment is allocated to assess (e.g. incoming referral or procedure request).)
  - participant
```
protected List<Appointment.AppointmentParticipantComponent> participant
```
    List of participants involved in the appointment.
  - requestedPeriod
```
protected List<Period> requestedPeriod
```
    A set of date ranges (potentially including times) that the appointment is preferred to be scheduled within. The duration (usually in minutes) could also be provided to indicate the length of the appointment to fill and populate the start/end times for the actual allocated time. However, in other situations the duration may be calculated by the scheduling system.
