--------
The purpose of this project is to ballot and publish the Covid At-Home Test Report Implementation Guide (IG). A draft IG (
https://trifolia-fhir.lantanagroup.com/igs/lantana_hapi_r4/homeCovid/index.html) has been developed that describes the use of HL7 FHIR to send at home Covid tests to local, state, territorial and Federal health agencies. An HL7 v2 to FHIR mapping table will also be described in the IG. The project will update and ballot this IG through open and transparent HL7 ballot process to gain community input and support.
The draft IG currently constrains the following profiles for the use case of sending results from Covid tests performed at home to public health systems:
* US Core Laboratory Result Observation
* US Core Diagnostic Report for Laboratory Results
* FHIR Observation Resource for
* Presence or absence of symptoms
* Date and Time of symptom onset
The draft IG is currently being piloted in a 3-5 States with plans to pilot in multiple new states in the coming months. You can find more information about current piloting efforts utilizing this IG at
