FHIR Resource Development Project Insight ID
1338
Scope of coverage
To support the content of the revised ISO 11238 IDMP Substance standard and its ISO/TS 19844 Technical Specification, and other domain areas with similar requirements. Initial focus to be on the 'Chemical' type (substance and specified substance parts) of that standard and draft resources will be produced to explore the use of FHIR for this. If successful, future scope may be expanded to other areas, and bring the work forward for formal inclusion in the FHIR draft standard.
RIM scope
Similar in scope to the substance parts of CPM
Resource appropriateness
There is an upcoming requirement to support the standardised exchange of detailed definitional Substance data, as covered by the ISO 11238 specification.
This project does not intend to clash with the existing Substance FHIR resource, but could potentially complement it with profiles and/or new resource(s).
It is intended to add an extra level of substance specification detail, such as is typically used by regulators, and only indirectly used during normal medication related work flows (e.g. for lookups of unfamiliar substances).
Manufacturers submit this data to regulators, when substances are created or the parameters change (ingredient manufacturer, process etc).
Regulators exchange this information between each other, to synchronize substance catalogues.
Expected implementations
FDA (already impmented a proprietary message solution for 11238 substances). EMA
Content sources
Basis for the resource is the information in ISO 11238 Substances
Example Scenarios
Substance definitions for the various categories (Chemical, Polymer, Protein etc). Use of "Specified Substance" to add extra information around manufacturing process etc.
Resource Relationships
Reference to Organization (Manufacturer) Expected to be a reference from Substance to SubstanceSpecification, to be able to point to a more detailed definition
Timelines
Early draft by December 2017 comment-only ballot.
