Care documentation is organized in four layers. Start with '''concepts''' to build mental models, follow '''flows''' when you need to do something in the product, use '''references''' for technical module detail, and use '''playbooks''' when a deployment combines flows into a real-world scenario.<br />
<br />
== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
'''Concepts answer: ''What is…?'''''<br />
<br />
Plain-language explanations of Care's primitives — for example, [[Concepts/Patient|what a patient is]]. Concepts are grouped by domain (clinical, definitions &amp; terminology, access &amp; governance, and more), versioned with the core Care release, and apply across deployments.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Flows ==<br />
<br />
'''Flows answer: ''How do I…?'''''<br />
<br />
Step-by-step guides for tasks in Care — for example, [[Flows/Create a patient|how to create a patient]]. Flows describe the happy path in the product UI and API; they stay deployment-agnostic unless noted.<br />
<br />

<br />
== References ==<br />
<br />
'''References answer: ''How is it built?'''''<br />
<br />
Module-level technical documentation for developers and integrators — models, fields, relationships, enums, API schemas, and save behaviour, grouped by domain. For example, the [[References/Patient|Patient reference]] maps to <code>care.emr.models.patient</code>.<br />
<br />
→ Browse [[References/Patient|References]]<br />
<br />
== Playbooks ==<br />
<br />
'''Playbooks answer: ''How does this work in my deployment?'''''<br />
<br />
Playbooks live under each [[Hmis|deployment playbook]] (HMIS and others). They wire flows together for concrete use cases — registration desks, emergency intake, and ward workflows — and document edge cases, local configuration, and operational expectations.<br />
