Description
After evaluation and harmonization analysis of two large multi-condition and multi-use case public health projects – eCR and MedMorph, it was determined that there are many common elements between the two IGs. The short-term scope of this library will include elements common to the above-mentioned FHIR IGs and will define a US Realm specific framework that defines common elements for the implementation guides. The longer-term scope of this will include analysis and inclusion of data elements from Vital Records Death Reporting, Vital Records Birth and Fetal Death Reporting, and other Public Health use cases.
The US Public Health Profiles Library will be instituted in close conjunction with US Core and have an analogous process for implementation, moderation, review, and approval. The intent is to re-use US Core profiles wherever possible and only add profiles that are needed for common public health needs, creating a complementary library of profiles to US Core. The library will evolve over time and may be supported by an adjunct profiles registry that includes developing and informational profiles for public health use.
