EHR Data Elements for ME&C Office - gt-health/Death_Data_Hub GitHub Wiki
Version 0.1
The FHIR elements shown in the table below is what we believe that we can retrieve from current version of FHIR deployed at the EHR (Argonaut compliant, DSTU2). As FHIR evolves, more data elements would be available for retrieval.
The most FHIR elements retrieval will be best-effort basis, meaning that even if some of data elements are missing, we will accept that and work with what we have received. Therefore, the data elements listed in the table should not be understood as required fields. It's always better to receive something than nothing. This is due to the fact that not every EHR can populate all the data elements. Our assumption is that EHR can provide the data elements based on the Argonaut constraints.
Required Data Elements
The follow data elements are required.
- All non-Patient resources must reference to the existing Patient (or Subject) available at the site for retrieval.
- Deceased patients must exist.
- Identification information must exist either through name or identifier of FHIR Patient Resource.
Supporting Functionalities (or Features)
The following feature would be needed or useful. If not available, work-around needs to be discussed.
- Patient Matching: We can either use FHIR MPI or any existing patient matching system. We need to be available to get the list of (deceased) patients with the FHIR patient ID.
- If chain search or _include/_revinclude is available, that would be very helpful.
- Authentication/Authorization: SMART on FHIR would be good if available.
