HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Military Service History and Status Release 1 - US Realm

DESCRIPTION

This implementation guide design document is intended to create a set of profiles and extensions to support Military Service History and Status reporting consistent with US regulatory requirements (i.e. Title 38 Veteran Benefits) and extensible to other realms/jurisdictions (e.g. Canadian Forces). It harmonizes the requirements of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to record this information more easily in support of administrative and clinical workflows and the work and social history of patients who served in the armed forces.

ALTERNATIVE NAMES

HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Military Service History and Status Release 1 - US Realm may also go by the following names or acronyms:

"HL7 FHIR® IG: Military Service History and Status, R1",

BENEFITS

  • Provides a FHIR-based API to query authoritative systems and organizations for Military Service History and Veteran Status.
  • Enables third-party confirmation that a patient was a veteran and to evaluate the military and combat history.
  • Creates FHIR profiles and extensions  to fill gaps in current implementations of HL7 Version 2 and RESTful APIs currently available to implementers. 

IMPLEMENTATIONS/CASE STUDIES

  • The FHIR profiles and extensions in this implementation guide are intended to fill gaps in current implementations of HL7 Version 2 and RESTful APIs currently available to implementers.
  • Current implementations use HL7 Version 2 messaging and ad-hoc RESTful APIs.

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

Currently there are several US Realm projects that need to use, manage, and collect information about military service, discharge, status, combat, etc. using information provided by patients/Veterans, validated based on service records. This IG is the result of harmonizing and standardizing a FHIR API to health risks/social determinants of health associated with Military Service.

This FHIR API described addresses the requirements previously implemented using:

  • ZMH (Military Service History) Z-segment used to represent service and deployment history in HL7 Version 2 transactions. This segment is used to exchange information about military service history,
  • ServiceHistoryEpisode and Deployment Schemas for the VA Veteran Verification API
  • HL7 FHIR Profiles and patterns from Occupational Data for Health (ODH),Release 1.0 as well of ODH concept for Military Branch and Pay Grade.
