HL7 Domain Analysis Model, Nutrition Care, Release 3 (Jira PSS-2688)

Description

Standards for the transmission and exchange of nutrition orders including information on oral diets, enteral nutrition (tube feeding), infant formula, and oral nutritional supplements, along with food textures, allergies, intolerances and preference information are required to safely provide patients with nutritionally appropriate foods. The purpose of the diet and nutrition orders domain analysis model is to implement the nutrition care process, and the required data and flow of information needed for the development of other HL7 products in the nutrition domain.

The current Release 2 Normative Domain Analysis Model was reaffirmed once to allow time to mature the Release 3 STU publication as the eventual replacement for Release 2. It covers a much broader scope than the Release 2 DAM, which focused on acute care use cases.

The Release 3 DAM has informed the development of FHIR resources in the Nutrition topic area, as well as the content in the Nutrition Module of the FHIR specification.

Feedback from this process will be applied to the STU model and an updated Release 3 DAM prepared for Normative ballot to replace the existing Normative DAM

Note - we recognize the naming conventions have changed to use the term Edition - we will adopt the new conventions but it was easier to describe the existing content using their current names
