=International Patient Summary=

<!-- Resource names should meet the following characteristics:
* Title Case
* U.S. English
* Domain-friendly
* Short
* Clear
* Unique
* Avoid non-universal abbreviations (e.g. URL would be ok)
* Be consistent with other similar IGs
 -->

==Owning work group name==

<!-- The name of the committee that is proposed to have responsibility for developing and maintaining the IG. -->
[[Structured Documents]]

==Committee Approval Date:==
<i>2018-01-18</i>

==Contributing or Reviewing Work Groups==

<!-- Additional work groups that may have an interest in contributing to, or reviewing  the content of the IG (optional) -->
* Patient Care
* Templates
* Emergency Care
* Vocabulary
* Electronic Health Records
* Healthcare Standards Integration
* Public Health
* Orders and Observations
* Mobile Health

==FHIR Development Project Insight ID==

<!-- Please specify the id of your work group’s PSS for doing FHIR work that covers the development and maintenance of this IG.  (If submitted but not yet approved, just write “pending”.) The link to the PSS template can be found here: http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/download/docmanfileversion/6832/9398/HL7FHIR_DSTUballotPSS-20120529.doc -->

==Scope of coverage==

<!-- Define the full scope of coverage for the IG.  The scope must be clearly delineated such that it does not overlap with any other existing or expected HL7 Int'l-maintained IG.  The scope will be used to govern "what is the set of potential applications to consider when evaluating what elements are 'core' – i.e. in the 80%"

Scope should consider numerous aspects of breadth of scope, including:
* Subject: Human vs. non-human vs. non-patient (e.g. lab bench medicine)
* Disciplines: Environmental Health, Palliative, Respiratory, Psychology, Maternity, Clinical Research
* Delivery environment (Community, Geriatric, Home care, Emergency, Inpatient, Intensive, Neonatal, Pediatric, Primary)
* Locale: Country, region
 -->
The International Patient Summary (IPS) is a minimal and non-exhaustive patient summary, specialty-agnostic, condition-independent, but readily usable by clinicians for the cross-border unscheduled care of a patient. It supports:
# Cross-jurisdictional summaries
# Emergency and unplanned care in any country, regardless of language
#Where possible, value sets from international vocabularies that are usable and understandable in any country
#Data/metadata for document-level provenance.

==IG Purpose==

<!-- Why is this IG necessary? -->
The International Patient Summary specification is needed to provide a mechanism for data representation and exchange to support emergency care and unplanned care in any country (home and foreign), regardless of language.

==Content location==

<!-- What is the path within the HL7 github repository (i.e. https://github.com/HL7/xxx) or what is the Simplifier project name? -->
https://github.com/HL7/fhir-ips

==Proposed IG realm and code==

<!-- What is the realm code (2-character country code or 'uv') and IG code to use for the path when the IG is published under http://hl7.org/fhir?  E.g. us/ccda -->
UV

==Maintenance Plan==

<!-- What commitment does the WG have to maintaining this IG as the FHIR core specification continues to evolve - particularly if the initial project sponsors are no longer providing resources -->
The Structured Documents WG has agreed in the PSS to assume the ongoing maintenance responsibility.  The Patient Care WG, primarily, and the other co-sponsor WGs also have an ongoing interest in maintenance of the specification.

==Short Description==

<!-- 1-2 sentences describing the purpose/scope of the IG for inclusion in the registry -->
The International Patient Summary (IPS) is a minimal and non-exhaustive patient summary, specialty-agnostic, condition-independent, but readily usable by clinicians for the cross-border unscheduled care of a patient.

==Long Description==

<!-- 1 paragraph describing the purpose/scope of the IG in more detail for inclusion in the version history -->
The International Patient Summary (IPS) is a minimal and non-exhaustive patient summary, specialty-agnostic, condition-independent, but readily usable by clinicians for the cross-border unscheduled care of a patient. It supports: (1) Cross-jurisdictional summaries; (2) Emergency and unplanned care in any country, regardless of language; (3) Where possible, value sets from international vocabularies that are usable and understandable in any country; (4) Data/metadata for document-level provenance.

==Expected implementations==

<!--Key resources are justified by CCDA, for resources not deemed "key", what interest is there by implementers in using this particular resource. Provide named implementations if possible - ideally provide multiple independent implementations. -->

# Sequoia Project
## The Sequoia Project is committed to ensuring the content of data exchanges is both accurate and useful to providers and patients. Since June 2015, the Testing Workgroup has been developing a content testing program, focused around a common set of requirements and testing tools, to improve the quality and completeness of Continuity of Care Document (CCD) exchanges. We began by defining and refining CCDs that may be exchanged by eHealth Exchange participants to address particular use cases or business needs. The recent content testing pilot (https://ehealth-exchange-testing.wikispaces.com/Content+Testing+Pilot+2016) will inform future documentation and tooling that is expected to go into production by November 2016.
