FHIR Profile; FHIR Resources

Revise Current Standard, White Paper (Balloted Informative), Implementation Guide

Details

This project will identify and define the initial set of FHIR resources related to the domain of Health Care Devices (DEV). 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 updated include: DeviceComponent, DeviceMetric. In addition, as the committee deems appropriate and time availability permits, it will define a small number of FHIR extensions relevant to domain content and expected to be necessary to support consistent early implementations. These include support for device-sourced alert / alarm distribution management, and an implementation guide supporting consistent use of Device and Observation resources for device informatics. Other device informatics topics such as device control may be discussed and captured in one or more white papers; however, specific FHIR support for these topics will be deferred to subsequent projects. Healthcare devices include both acute care (e.g., infusion pumps) and personal health devices.


FHIR is a major new initiative by HL7 intended to significantly speed and enhance interoperability between healthcare systems. The FHIR methodology is dependent on the existence of a number of discrete data structure definitions called 'resources'. This project will create the set of essential resource definitions related to the domain of Health Care Devices, and advance those resources to the FHIR Maturity Model Level #2 (FMM2).



The artifacts produced by this project will be balloted as part of the FHIR STU project (Project Insight ID 891).

Project information and documents will be posted at the project wiki page ( http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=DoF_Project_-_Device_Data_Reporting) and on GForge (linked from the wiki page).

Yes

Yes

No

2026 April: TSC approved an STU Publication Request for HL7 FHIR® R4 IG: Personal Health Device (PHD), Edition 2 for 2 years 2025 Jan: Devices WG Co-Chairs: PHD IG has been published but PoCD IG 'needs testing'. 2024 April: Martin Rosner: The project has several active FHIR-related workstreams including POCD and PHD FHIR IGs. We would like to request to extend that project for two years as subsequent ballots are planned in the future. 2022 May: TSC approved STU Publication Request for Personal Health Device FHIR Implementation Guide 2020 July: TCooper reached out to PMO to find out what's needed to get the FHIR IGs published. Per Lynn: PCD 2019MAY needs a publication request PoCD 2018SEP needs a reconciliation package Replaces 1103 - Develop FHIR resources and profiles for the second DSTU release
