The EHR-S FM is a list of all functions that COULD be present in EHR systems and criteria for achieving that function. Any given EHR-S will perform one or more functions (i.e., a subset) from the FM list (i.e., the superset), depending on the purpose of the system. The select subset of functions and the criteria for conforming to these functions characterize the EHR-S capabilities and are referred to as a 'functional profile.'

The DHFP details the 'what and why' for the functions and conformance criteria for a dental electronic health record software system. The 'how' regarding the manner that such functions are implemented in any particular dental electronic health record software system is left to software developers and vendors. 'How' various software vendors implement the functions and conformance criteria in this DHFP will allow for differentiation in the marketplace.

Because the DHFP is based on the functions and conformance criteria of the EHR-S FM, this DHFP serves as a foundation for interoperability among dental electronic record software systems as well as between dental electronic record software systems and medical electronic record software systems. This project will advance the DHFP to the current base model EHR-S FM in preparation for adding orthodontic functional requirements.

Dependencies
The DHFP will be the first functional profile to use the Common HL7 Toolset. The base model EHR-S FM R2.1 is also transitioning to Common HL7 Toolset and will also be balloted in May 2025

External Drivers
American Dental Association The DHFP was initially developed as a joint effort by the HL7 Electronic Health Record Work Group and the American Dental Association (ADA) Standards Committee on Dental Informatics (SCDI) Working Group 11.1 on Standard Clinical Data Architecture. Both HL7 and the ADA SCDI are accredited as voluntary consensus Standards Development Organizations by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). A signed formal Letter of Agreement regarding joint development is on file with HL7 and the ADA. Participating stakeholders comprise the required representative cross-section of interested parties, including providers, software developers, vendors, government agency representatives, professional organizations, payers, and academics.
