Zulip Chat stream for this Track is here and issues can be posted here
Background For Clinical Notes
This track is based upon Argonaut Clinical Notes Profile. It is based upon the FHIR 3.0.1 Standard.
For additional background, review the DocumentReference resource.
Submitting WG/Project/Implementer Group
Justification
The Argonaut Clinical Notes Profile is a vendor agnostic specification providing FHIR RESTful APIs and guidance for access to Clinical Notes by both patient and practitioner end users. This specification is based on FHIR Version 3.0.1 and specifically the DocumentReference resource.
The US ONC released a draft U.S. Core Data for Interoperability which proposed support for Clinical Notes access.
Proposed Track Lead
Coordinator: Brett Marquard
Expected participants
Servers: Epic, Cerner. Plan to contact Argonaut organizations for additional participants.
Clients: TBD
Roles
Provider or 3rd Party consumer application (Client)
An application that should be used by an end user (e.g., patient or practitioner) to support search for and retrieval of Clinical Notes.
FHIR Server (EHR)
A Server that contains Clinical Data.
If creating a client application, this track should require minimal work in advance of the connectathon, though at least a bit of playing is recommended. If creating a server, advanced preparation will be required.

Security and Privacy Considerations
- What Authentication/Authorization will be used (e.g. SMART on FHIR (OAuth), HEART (UMA/OAuth), IHE IUA (OAuth), generic OAuth, generic SAML, mutual-Auth-TLS), is out of scope and left to implementations. Expectation is many systems will use SMART on FHIR (OAuth)
