HL7 EHRS-FM Release 2: Functional Profile; Work and Health, Release 1 – US Realm

DESCRIPTION

The primary purpose of the Work and Health Functional Profile (WHFP) is to expand the capabilities expressed in the EHR-S FM R2 for managing a patient’s “occupational data for health” (as opposed to occupational data for administrative or billing purposes) and International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) external cause of morbidity and mortality codes. Data management includes the actions to capture, maintain, render, exchange, determine, and manage-data-visibility. Since understanding a patient’s work is fundamental to providing care, the intention is to make these new and modified functions and conformance criteria available now and then incorporate them into a future release of the EHR-S FM.

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

The overall goal in developing the WHFP is to improve the way a patient’s ODH and—for injuries—the ICD-10-CM external cause of morbidity codes are managed within an EHR-S. Specifically, the objectives of the WHFP are to:

• Standardize ODH management,
• Enhance coding of injuries with ICD-10-CM external cause of morbidity codes,
• Establish usability and efficiency requirements for recording and accessing ODH,
• Describe desirable clinical decision support capabilities at the interface of work and health,
• Improve providers’ ability to apply ODH to population health analyses, and
• Facilitate sharing work and health data with appropriate stakeholders, including public health.
