Description | This project will identify and define additional FHIR resources related to the domain of Health Care Devices to be published in the second FHIR DSTU release. This will include support for reporting of alert / alarm conditions signalled by a health care device, as well as remote control of device operations. It will also update existing Health Care Devices FHIR resources to reflect DSTU feedback and to harmonize with the new alert and control resources. These resources will be defined using the available FHIR tooling and in accordance with documented quality guidelines and balloted as part of the FHIR specification. Medical device alert and remote control are both safety critical applications. Development of these resources should take this into consideration to ensure that critical requirements may be supported by implementations, factoring in relevant standards such as ISO 14971 and IEC 60601-1-8. As was achieved in the FHIR DSTU DeviceObservationReport resource, the resources created by this project will leverage as appropriate the ISO/IEEE 11073 semantic content standards, including ISO/IEEE 11073-10101 Nomenclature and ISO/IEEE 11073-10201 Domain Information Model, to ensure semantic continuity throughout the exchanges. Expected FHIR resources to be produced include: - DeviceAlertReport - DeviceControlOperation - DeviceServiceControl If time permits, it is also intended to create profiles for existing Health Care Devices FHIR resources to define anticipated use of device-related resources for detailed reporting of device-acquired information, distributed notification of device alert/alarm conditions and remote control of devices. |

Project Intent | Supplement to a Current Standard |
Project Need | Current device-related FHIR resources - Device and DeviceObservationReport - provide for the general communication of device-acquired information, including patient monitored parameters such as respiration rate and device operational settings such as infusion pump Volume to be Delivered (VTBI). Additional capabilities that are needed by remote systems, especially mobile platforms used by clinicians, include: 1. Device alarm / alert reporting - typically handled by an 'alarm manager' system that provides real-time delivery of potentially life critical device alarm conditions to the right clinicians; 2. Device Operational Control - ability for a clinician to remotely change control settings on a device such as adjusting the alert limits (e.g., heart rate or temperature alarm ranges) or triggering a blood pressure reading When combined with the existing reporting FHIR resources, these additional capabilities will enable a powerful set of applications to display device-acquired information, annunciate and manage device alert/alarm conditions, and control device configuration or operational settings. This project will create the set of essential resource definitions related to the domain of DEV WG to support communication of device alerts and remote control of device operations. These resources have been identified by the Health Care Device WG members as a logical next step to the foundational resources currently in the DSTU: Device and DeviceObservationReport. |

External Pjt Collaborators | In producing resources, the project team will consult specifications from a wide variety of stakeholder groups, including IHE, various affiliates, government organizations and other SDOs. However, this consultation will not require direct interaction with these other organizations. (Though some may be involved in the ballot review process.) This project may reach out to other international SDO's (e.g. ISO/TC 215 JWG7) and domain implementers. Other external stakeholders (e.g. U.S. FDA or Continua Health Alliance) will be informed of this project and their inputs will be welcome. |

Ballot Cycle Info | |
Misc Notes | July 2016: This project replaced by #1277 - FHIR for Device Data Reporting. PMO Archiving. Resources will be published as part of the first FHIR DSTU ballot. This project will not ballot directly. Instead, content will be combined with resources from other committees and jointly balloted as part of the FHIR DSTU ballot (managed as a distinct TSC project). IHE Patient Care Devices (PCD) will create profiles based on these resources; ISO/IEEE 11073 may include references to these resources in their standards. |
