<!-- For additional guidance on considerations for resource creation, refer to [[FHIR Resource Considerations]] -->


=AllergyIntolerance=

<!-- Resource names should meet the following characteristics:
* Lower camel case
* U.S. English
* Domain-friendly
* Short
* Clear
* Unique
* Avoid non-universal abbreviations (e.g. URL would be ok)
* Be expressed as a noun
* Be consistent with other similar resources
 -->

==Owning committee name==

<!-- The name of the committee that is proposed to have responsibility for developing and maintaining the resources. -->
[[Patient Care]]

==Contributing or Reviewing Work Groups==
[[Pharmacy]]
<!-- Additional work groups that may have an interest in contributing to, or reviewing  the content of the resource (optional) -->
* Work Group Name
* or link
* or "None"

==FHIR Resource Development Project Insight ID==
pending
<!-- Please specify the id of your work group’s PSS for doing FHIR work.  (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==
Allergy/Intolerance resources are used to provide information about adverse sensitivities to substances that lead to physiologic changes that are clinically observable.  This definition excludes clinically identical episodes that may be caused by physical agents, such as heat, cold, sunlight, or vibration, by exercise activity, or by infectious agents. Those conditions caused by physical agents or infectious would be captured on the problem list. The allergy/intolerance list is a list of conditions that represent a propensity unique to this individual for a reaction upon future exposure to a specified substance.

<!-- Define the full scope of coverage for the resource.  The scope must be clearly delineated such that it does not overlap with any other existing or expected resource.  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

As a rule, resources should encompass all of these aspects.
 -->

==RIM scope==
Act where classCode = CONC (Concern) and code <= OINT

<!-- Identify the formal RIM mapping for the root concept of the resource.  The expectation is that the RIM mapping will be sufficiently precise so as to not overlap with any other resource definition. -->

==Resource appropriateness==
An Allergy/Intolerance is a reasonably understood concept that is very important for healthcare as it is found and collected in almost all medical systems.

<!-- Does the resource meet the following characteristics?

Must
* Represents a well understood, "important" concept in the business of healthcare
* Represents a concept expected to be tracked with distinct, reliable, unique ids
* Reasonable for the resource to be independently created, queried and maintained

Should
* Declared interest in need for standardization of data exchange</span>
* Resource is expected to contain an appropriate number of "core" (non-extension) data elements (in most cases, somewhere in the range of 20-50)
* Have the characteristics of high cohesion & low coupling – need to explore whether coupling is good some places, not elsewhere – layers from Bo’s document 
 -->

==Expected implementations==
CCDA has a section for allergies and all healthcare implementations could reasonably be expected to implement this resource.

<!--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. -->

==Content sources==
CDA, draft HL7 v3 models, Allergy/Intolerance DAM Information model

<!-- List all of the specifications (beyond those in the "standard" (FHIR_Design_Requirements_Sources) list of source specifications) that you’re planning to consult

Are there any source specifications that you wish to consult but are concerned about access to or expertise to consider? -->

==Resource Relationships==
This is a top-level resource that may be combined into a List but otherwise will not be referenced by other resources.  It has a link to AdverseReaction as well as to Observation and Substance.

<!-- What are the resources do you expect will reference this resource and in what context?

What resources do you expect this resource reference and in what context?

Note: These may be existing resources or "expected" resource

Reference to resources is really only relevant at the "same or higher level" (Bo – fix this wording)
 -->

==Timelines==
Expected to be balloted DSTU in September 2013
<!-- Indicate the target date for having the resource complete from a committee perspective and ready for vetting and voting -->

==gForge Users==
jduteau

<!-- Identify the userids who will require commit access to gForge to maintain the resource.  (Ensure all users have registered for gForge.) -->
