FHIR Patient Care Resources

Return to: Patient Care

This wiki page contains information related to a set of activities initiated March 2013 to facilitate contributions by PCWG members to continuous improvements of FHIR clinical DSTU resources, and to develop new FHIR clinical resources to meet stakeholder requirements.

Introduction

FHIR® – Fast Health Interoperable Resources (hl7.org/fhir) – is a next generation standards framework created by HL7. FHIR combines the best features of HL7’s Version 2, Version 3 and CDA® product lines while leveraging the latest web standards and applying a tight focus on implementability.

FHIR solutions are built from a set of modular components called “Resources”. These resources can easily be assembled into working systems that solve real world clinical and administrative problems at a fraction of the price of existing alternatives. FHIR is suitable for use in a wide variety of contexts – mobile phone apps, cloud communications, EHR-based data sharing, server communication in large institutional healthcare providers, and much more

A number of FHIR clinical resources were developed, passed ballots and reached DSTU status in January 2014.

These clinical resources are under stewardship of PCWG:

1. Adverse Reaction

2. Allergy Intolerance

3. Care Plan

4. Condition

5. Family History

6. Procedure

7. Questionnaire

PCWG works closely with FHIR team to provide clinical and clinical informatics (and where appropriate, engineering) inputs to help continuous improvement of these resources

PCWG members also work closely with FHIR team to develop new FHIR clinical resources
