We will not define this at this point, but will be considered as we commence creating actual projects.
Outside scope of workgroup: Patient Care, Billing, (Medications/O&O)
Brian reported current activity at the international group, specifically that the majority of work is currently in defining and refining FHIR resources.
Discussion was held on FHIR Valuesets and localisations – specifically for Patient ethnicity, race, aboriginality etc (Terminology services) and versioning of these concepts, and governance of this content.
Possible Projects:
Profiling the FHIR Patient for Australian use, including validating the international extensions, and definition of Identifiers and recommended vocabulary.
FHIR Profiles:
- Patient, Organization, Practitioner
- Identifiers
Profiling other resources (such as Encounter, EpisodeOfCare…) will be defined as a further project after the Patient, Organization and Practitioner are profiled. As implementers require other resources, new projects will be created to handle these.
The “Profiling” of FHIR resources defined here will be computable technical artifacts that can be stored in a FHIR registry
Consider v2 project for preparing an Australian v2 spec covering the inclusion of the HPI values in 2.9
(currently 2.5 – located in standards Australia)
