Description | The scope of this project is the creation of a EHR System Dental Functional Profile containing a list of mandatory and optional standard functional requirements for electronic health records systems used in the practice of dentistry and its various specialties.
Per ISO 1942:2009(E/F) Dentistry is defined as the 'science of preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases and malfunctions of, and injuries to, the teeth, mouth, and jaws, and of replacing lost teeth and associated tissues and promoting of oral health.' The American Dental Association defines oral health as 'a functional, structural, aesthetic, physiologic and psychosocial state of well-being and is essential to an individual’s general health and quality of life.*' [*Adopted by the 2014 ADA House of Delegates] This project incorporates and revises requirements identified in ADA Standard No. 1067, which was developed in harmony with HL7 EHR-S FM R1.1 under a joint ADA-HL7 Memorandum of Understanding that was in effect 2010-2012. It will also incorporate HL7 EHR-S FM R2 criteria as are acceptable to the ADA SCDI Dental EHR Functional Model Working Group, the HL7 EHR Working Group, and interested HL7 stakeholders. This project will be developed under the terms of the June 15, 2017 ADA-HL7 Statement of Understanding (SOU), which are in effect until at least June 15 of 2019. This will be a US-Realm specific work product. The American Dental Association's ANSI-accredited Standards Committee on Dental Informatics (SCDI) is a recognized HL7 Associate SDO, per the June 2019 SOU. |

Project Intent | Supplement to a Current Standard |
Project Need | Currently, HL7’s EHR System Functional Model R2 contains no dentistry-specific functional requirements and no US Realm Dental Functional Profile has ever been initiated, let alone completed a ballot process. As a result, there is no standard, computable EHR Dental Functional Profile that can be used to create RFPs, define certification criteria, or design EHR systems for the dental setting. This project will complete a much-needed oral health portion of HL7’s EHR System Functional Model. The ADA Standards Committee on Dental Informatics (SCDI), an Associate SDO per the attached June 15, 2017 Statement of Understanding (SOU), developed a Dental EHR System Functional Model, ADA Standard No. 1067, under the terms of a predecessor agreement or agreements in effect 2010-2012. ADA Standard 1067 incorporated relevant conformance requirements in HL7 EHR-S FM R1.1 with the addition of unique conformance requirements identified by SCDI volunteers. In addition to a new HL7 Dental Functional Profile of the EHR System Functional Model, the ADA SCDI would like to revise Standard 1067 and bring it into harmony with EHR-S FM R2. |

External Pjt Collaborators | HL7 has an SOU with the ADA that covers joint copyright. ADA Standards Committee on Dental Informatics (SCDI). How much content for this project is already developed? Difficult to say; 25-40%? Due to R1.1 content already identified (in ADA SCDI Standard No.1067) for this profile that can be quickly added to an R2 profile using the HL7 EHR=S FM Profiling tool. An unknown number of unique dental requirements with no reference to either R1.1 or R2 are in ADA Standard 1067 and will need to be included in this functional profile. Was the content externally developed (Y/N)? Yes and No, see above Is this a hosted (externally funded) project? Yes |
