C-CDA on FHIR

Description

This principle scope of this project is to represent Consolidated C-CDA templates using FHIR profiles. This project has several different parts to develop all the FHIR C-CDA profiles. 1. Develop a set of profiles on relevant FHIR resources to represent the content and constraints found in select entry templates from release 1.1 of the Consolidated CDA specification. These profiles will be developed by the work groups that own the resources being profiled. These profiles are intended to be strict alignment with the equivalent C-CDA templates. SDWG role in this part is to assist in understanding the C-CDA templates and provide QA review of the resulting profiles. Individual work groups will likely take an iterative approach to development of these profiles. Subsequest interations of this part of the project will build out additional FHIR profiles as well as creating additional profiles that include design changes that actually make sense in the FHIR space. These design changes need to be coordinated with the SDWG as similar changes may need to be made to C-CDA templates to retain consistency between these two products., 2. SDWG will be developing FHIR Profiles based additional C-CDA templates, including header, section templates and possibly additional entry templates. 3. Final alignment of normative FHIR C-CDA profiles with normative version of the C-CDA specification At this point, we do not expect that new FHIR resources will be needed for this project, though resource profiles may include both constraints and extensions necessary to cover the existing C-CDA template content. Should new resources or modifications of existing resource be required, it is the expectation of this project that those changes would be carried out through existing work group FHIR resource development and maintenance projects. This project would identify gaps and provide requirements for further FHIR Resource development.
