Developmental Screening Derived Domain Profile

Derived Domain Profile to the Child Health Functional Profile focused on Developmental Screening

Project Scope: This project aims to develop a Derived Domain Profile to the Child Health Functional Profile that identifies the critical capabilities for pediatric Developmental Screening and Reporting services utilizing EHR systems. This work will reference content and functions from the existing HL7 EHR-S Functional Model Release 2, and specifically, the HL7 Child Health Functional Profile Release 1, under the advice and direction of the HL7 Child Health and Electronic Health Record Work Groups. A set of requirements will be developed for vital functions relevant to the Developmental Screening and follow-up process as recommended by entities such as CMS, AAP and Bright Future’s schedule, thus providing EHR vendors with conformance standards that are specific and essential to pediatric Developmental Screening process in the US realm. The framework that is designed may have further applications with other developmental or mental health screenings as well.
