HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Vital Records Common FHIR Profile Library, Release 1

DESCRIPTION

This guide is a FHIR Resources Library to support the needs of multiple Vital Records Implementation Guides. It does not provide any use case or scenario specific content or additional guidance on how to use these artifacts, but serves as a source for a standard set of profiles for reuse in multiple use case specific implementation guides focusing on the exchange of Vital Records information. Implementation details such as how and when to use a given artifact will be supplied in these guides.

ALTERNATIVE NAMES

HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Vital Records Common FHIR Profile Library, Release 1 may also go by the following names or acronyms:

"HL7 FHIR® IG: Vital Records Common Library, R1 - US Realm", Vital Records Common Profile Library, Vital Records Common Profiles

BENEFITS

  • Defines the appropriate FHIR profiles, value sets, etc., once to avoid defining the same profiles multiple times
  •  Allows them to be referenced by each of the specific implementation guides for Vital Records and other FHIR standards development efforts.
  • Provides a standard framework for inclusion in multiple use case specific implementation guides focused on the exchange of Vital Records information to support interoperability among public health systems and reduce provider and implementer burden.

IMPLEMENTATIONS/CASE STUDIES

  • Three states (Georgia, Michigan, and Utah) are involved in the pilot program for Birth and Fetal Death Reporting (which re-uses these profiles)
  • Genesis Systems
  • Altarum
  • Epic.

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

After evaluation and analysis of two separate FHIR IG projects - Birth Defects Reporting and Birth and Fetal Death Reporting, it was determined that there were many common data elements between the two IGs. The short-term scope of this common profiles library includes data elements common to the above-mentioned FHIR IGs and defines a US Realm specific framework that defines common elements for the implementation guides. The longer-term scope of this profiles library will include analysis and possible inclusion of data elements from other Vital Records projects (such as Vital Records Mortality and Morbidity Reporting FHIR IG).

To avoid defining the same profiles multiple times, this IG contains a US Realm focused profile library for use by Vital Records and other FHIR standards development efforts to define the appropriate FHIR profiles, value sets, etc., once and allow them to be referenced by each of the specific implementation guides. This profile library provides a standard framework for inclusion in multiple use case specific implementation guides focused on the exchange of Vital Records information to support interoperability among public health systems and reduce provider and implementer burden. This FHIR implementation guide uses the US Core profiles. Where this FHIR implementation guide is unable to use a US Core profile, we have followed the Cross Group Projects WG’s variance request process, and have provided the US Realm Steering Committee an approved rationale for deviation in the implementation guide.
