Description
The scope of this Medicolegal Death Investigation (MDI) FHIR implementation guide includes the content of case management systems (CMS) on deaths investigated by medicolegal death investigation systems. This will include the bidirectional exchange of data between MDI-CMS and other systems, such as jurisdictional electronic death registration system (EDRS), toxicology, and other laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and ancillary workflows whose systems have the capability of utilizing FHIR.
*Added 10/21/2021: *This FHIR implementation guide will use the US Core profiles. If this FHIR implementation guide is unable to use a US Core profile, we will follow the Cross Group Projects WG's variance request process, and provide the US Realm Steering Committee an approved rationale for deviation in the implementation guide where applicable.
