HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: ICHOM Patient Centered Outcomes Measure Set for Breast Cancer, Edition 1

DESCRIPTION

This Implementation Guide simplifies the efforts of healthcare provider organizations to collect data needed for the ICHOM patient centered outcome measures for breast cancer, by defining a standard representation for that data. The Guide shows how to represent the patient reported outcomes as well as the clinical data captured during the care of the patient being treated for breast cancer. The data set may then be exchanged with systems via FHIR Implementation Guides such as MedMorph or CREDS. It is intended to facilitate collection of "real world data" from clinical encounters with higher uniformity and quality, independent of the provider or HIT vendor. Data structures accurately capturing patient characteristics, disease characteristics, treatments, and outcomes that matter to patients and clinicians would rapidly accelerate progress toward optimal use of as well as the development of new clinical guidelines and processes.

This guide profiles how to represent an ICHOM PCOM for breast cancer, says when the data needs to be collected, and how a healthcare provider organization can use that profiling to automate the collection and formatting of the data.

BENEFITS

• Facilitates adoption and implementation of these ICHOM Patient-Centered Outcome Measure Sets in healthcare IT systems
• Supports the semantically-interoperable collection of the required measurements along the patient care pathway, as well as the subsequent outcomes reporting based on these measurements
• Enables the representation and exchange of the ICHOM Breast Cancer measurement set, with the international scope of the set enabling global usage, adoption, and implementation in clinical practice through the implementation guide's provision of information on what and when to measure and report outcomes and measures

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

There is a growing need for representing the ICHOM Patient-Centered Outcome Measure Sets through HL7 FHIR APIs for the international community. The clinical elements of the ICHOM Patient-centered Outcomes Measures are already created and accepted as per international clinical research, patient represented and peer-reviewed process and are mapped to standard ontologies, such as SNOMED.

The aim of this IG is to develop and publish the HL7 FHIR representation of the already internationally validated and peer-reviewed ICHOM patient-centered outcome measure set for breast cancer. This will provide the support for interoperability in exchange of data related to the measurement of value-based healthcare as defined by our international community of experts who were gathered to create the set.

The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) aims to unlock the potential of value-based healthcare by defining global Patient-Centered Outcome Measure Sets that involve provider observations as well as patient reported outcomes, and that drive adoption, reporting, and benchmarking of these measures worldwide to create better health outcomes for all stakeholders.

To facilitate adoption and implementation of these ICHOM Patient-Centered Outcome Measure Sets in healthcare IT systems requires them to be published in an interoperable, open-standards-based machine-readable form. This will support the semantically-interoperable collection of the required measurements along the patient care pathway, as well as the subsequent outcomes reporting based on these measurements. The ICHOM Breast Cancer FHIR Implementation Guide will enable the representation and exchange of the ICHOM Breast Cancer measurement set, with the international scope of the set enabling global usage, adoption, and implementation in clinical practice through the implementation guide's provision of information on what and when to measure and report outcomes and measures.
