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 (detailed definition of substances, to molecular level, including manufacturing processes and ingredients).

RIM scope

Similar in scope to the substance parts of CPM. Entity: Material (EntityClass="MAT")

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 resource does not intend to clash with the existing Substance FHIR resource, but complements with an extra level of detail. It is seen as a sibling rather than a parent or a superclass to be profiled.

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 catalogs.

Expected implementations

FDA (already implemented a proprietary message solution for 11238 substances). EMA

Content sources

Basis for the resource is the information in ISO 11238 Substances standard. Actual data exists in the FDA GSRS implementation of 11238.

Example Scenarios

Substance definitions for the various categories (Chemical, Polymer, Protein etc). Use of "Specified Substance" area of 11238 to add extra information around manufacturing process etc.

Resource Relationships

Reference to Organization, for 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.
