Notice - Diagnostic work in progress

We are progressing the Diagnostic Report FHIR Implementation via the Diagnostics in FHIR R4 - June 30 project

Current and ongoing work

Diagnostic Report FHIR IG

Australian realm implementation guide of the HL7TM FHIR® specification to represent a diagnostic report including pathology, imaging, and other diagnostics reporting.

The specific use cases include:

  • diagnostic provider (pathology, diagnostic imaging or other diagnostic provider) sending diagnostic report to the My Health Record.
  • point to point support of a diagnostic report from a diagnostic provider.

Working on:

  • progressing designs for profiles of the following resources to support current and future use cases: Composition, DiagnosticReport, ServiceRequest, Observation, ImagingStudy, Specimen, BodySite.
  • creating initial shell content for each of the profiles required to enable feedback and discussion on the models.

Event Summary FHIR IG

Australian realm implementation guide of the HL7TM FHIR® specification to represent an Event Summary (ES).

An event summary is authored by a nominated provider, that contains key pieces of information about an individual’s health status and is useful to a wide range of providers in assessing individuals and delivering care.

Working on:

  • currently on hold to prioritise diagnostics work

Individual and Entity profiles

Establishing a set of reusable profiles of individual and entity profiles for use in multiple usage scenario implementation guides.

Forthcoming:

  • Patient with Mandatory Identifier
  • Base Practitioner
  • Base RelatedPerson
  • RelatedPerson with Mandatory Identifier

Implementation guide look and feel

Working on:

  • developing the template and style sheets
  • presentation of profile lists and extension lists
  • presenting examples for each profile in a nice hyperlinked table in an examples tab
  • traceability between StructureDefinitions and information requirements
  • presenting must support requirements, and wording of must support requirements

Future work

  • R4 Medications profiles (e.g. Base Medication)
  • R4 Summary profiles (e.g. Summary of Allergy or Intolerance)
  • R4 Shared Health Summary
  • R4 Shared Medicines List
  • R4 Prescription and Dispense List
  • Support exchange of discharge summaries in FHIR
  • Supporting a co-authored, shared, living medicines list
  • Supporting a co-authored, shared, living allergies lists
