Description | The Child Health Neonatology Profile for Electronic Health Record Systems v 1.0 (Neonatology Profile) is a project of the HL7 Child Health Work Group. It conforms to the HL7 Electronic Health Record-Systems Functional Model v 1.0 (EHR-S FM) and the HL7 Child Health Functional Profile for EHR-Systems v 1.0 (Child Health Profile). This first iteration is aimed at developing functional data standards and related conformance criteria for EHR systems that are used in providing medical care in hospital-based neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the United States for newborn infants, especially those who are ill or premature. Specifically, the Neonatology Profile describes functionality necessary for a U.S. neonatologist to provide care to newborns in the (1) delivery room, (2) neonatal intensive care unit (including level III ICUs,(3) outpatient follow-up of NICU graduates through their second birthday, and (4) during transport to other care facilities. It does not necessarily include functions necessary to provide subspecialty or surgical care in these environments, except as required by the neonatologist's participation in those activities. However, the project will explore including functions to support ophthalmology follow-up after discharge for preterm infants, which is very time sensitive. The project team will review industry resources that may aid in writing functional requirements, such as work coming out of the EHR Model Format for Children Project. |

Project Intent | Create New Standard |
Project Need | The HL7 functional standards for EHR systems do not currently provide guidance for those who use EHRs for neonatology. The intent is to assist all childcare providers and associated IT vendors in ensuring safe, effective and reliable neonatology care through the safe and effective use of information technology. |

Misc Notes | 2023 Oct: M. Padula: While some of the content remains relevant, I do not know what is the best way to (1) reconcile the project and (2) allow this version to be available as an archived version, in case there is interest in addressing some of the content. (There are a number of ways this functionality has become more relevant as we have been working on the fetal record in FHIR.) PMO, Anne Wizauer and Lynn Laakso recommended EHR place the document in the EHR Documents tab on HL7.org and on EHR's Confluence page, either under a new Documents page or under the EHR Project page. PMO archived the project. 2017 June: TSC approved the Dissolution Request for the Child Health WG at TSC Tracker 13522. The WG will be absorbed by the Patient Care WG,. PMO transferred project to Patient Care. Aug 2014: G. Dolin: On Hold - Evaluate need to update to conform to latest EHR profile and compbine with Child Helath Functional Profile March 2013: With the dissolution of the Child Health WG, EHR is a candidate to take over child health project work. Sept 2012: Per EHR WG, targeting May, 2013 to ballot Normative |
