International Patient Summary (IPS)
Contents
Scope
The International Patient Summary is a "Minimal and non-exhaustive Patient Summary, specialty-agnostic, condition-independent, but readily usable by all clinicians for the unscheduled (cross-border) care of a patient."
The goal of this project is to build an international document and associated templates based on HL7 CDA R2 (or a future CDA release) and potentially the FHIR standards, with value sets to support data elements within those templates.
These templates/profiles aim to:
- Serve for both cross-jurisdictional (through adaptation/extension for multi-language and realm scenarios, including translation) and national (through localization) patient summaries.
- Support emergency care and unplanned care in any country (home and foreign), regardless of language
- Define value sets based on international vocabularies that are usable and understandable in any country
Please refer to the PSS [1] for more details.
