Summary

The domain includes messages and documents that are specifically designed to support reporting and investigation in the public health context. This scope includes:

Communications within a health provider organization,

Messages sent to public health regulatory agencies or other patient safety/quality improvement organizations from outside parties,

Reporting among health care providers, manufacturers, and public health or patient safety/quality improvement organizations.

Description

The Public Health Reporting Domain Information Model captures the information to be exchanged about conditions or events that are to be subject to public health review or investigation. The model initially focused on the needs of the US Federal Government for HL7 messaging in the areas of disease surveillance and the reporting of adverse events, reactions or problems related to regulated products, as well as reporting by parties investigating incidents of public concern. However, the model is not limited to US based reporting, or to regulatory application - but has been generalized to be applicable across the HL7 community.

• The Public Health Reporting Domain contains specifications from a variety of healthcare focus areas (e.g., patient safety, consumer safety, environmental safety; regulatory vs. non-regulatory safety monitoring). Analysis is underway using an HL7 DAM (Domain Analysis Model) to determine whether a common Domain Information Model can support this variety of focus, or whether additional domain models (and thus additional domains) are needed. If new domains are established, the specifications in the present Public Health Reporting domain are likely to be distributed among those new domains.
• It should be noted that there is not currently a generally accepted Domain model for the PORR domain. Work is currently in progress involving PHER, Patient Safety, RCIRM, etc. to develop such a model.
