Description | This project will identify and define additional FHIR resources related to the domain of Patient Care to be published in the second FHIR STU release. This will include support for referral and transition of care of patient from one provider to another/an organization. It will also update existing Patient Care FHIR resources to reflect STU feedback and new quality guidelines. These resources will be defined using the available FHIR tooling and in accordance with documented quality guidelines and balloted as part of the initial FHIR specification. Expected FHIR resources to be produced include: - Referral Resources (includes administrative and clinical contents) - Concern resource (if time permits) If time permits, it is also intended to create profiles for existing Patient Care FHIR resources to align with and/or inform the use of existing C-CDA implementation guide. In addition, as the PCWG and FHIR project teams considers appropriate and time availability permits, it will define a small number of FHIR extensions of referral/care transfer contents relevant to domain contents and expected to be necessary to support consistent early implementations. |

Project Intent | Supplement to a Current Standard |
Project Need | Patients with chronic or acute health conditions are often managed by multi-disciplinary teams of health care providers. Continuity of care for these patients as they move from one provider to another within the course of the health conditions involves varying levels of shared/collaborative care, and transition of care from one provider/team to another. The environment of shared care and transition of care is complex. A number of information exchanges in the form of messages and/or documents are required to facilitate effective care of these patients. Care of these patients under such complex care environment may involve: - Sharing of care responsibilities temporarily or permanently - moved within care setting, between care settings, across jurisdictions/states temporarily (care transition) or permanently (care transfer) This project will create the set of essential resource definitions related to the domain of PCWG to support referral, care transfer/transition of care. Referral has been identified as a key resource to be developed by implementers. Other resource that are considered relevant to the concept of referral and transition of care include health concern |

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. IHE and openEHR) and domain implementers. Other external stakeholders (e.g. NHS) will be informed of this project and their inputs will be welcome. |

Misc Notes | 2023 September: PC WG CoChairs: Please close project: - A Referral Resource was initially established. But it was later merged into the ServiceRequest resource. Patient Care WG does not have custodianship over ServiceRequest resource - The proposal to create a Concern resource was never accepted. PMO archiving project. 2018 Jan WGM - CoChair provided status update on FHIR R3 support 5. Intent: Resources will be published as part of the first FHIR DSTU ballot 7.a Stakeholders: FHIR Vendors |
