About

HL7 Canada Welcome to the Canadian FHIR implementation community forum. The purpose of this forum is to collaborate on areas of FHIR implementation that will advance implementations across Canada, while contributing to the global adoption of FHIR. The objective is to develop pan-Canadian approaches to constraining and extending FHIR. The community has been active since January 2016 and has been growing ever since!

The community has several streams of activity:

Topical workstreams
Monthly community calls to share workstream progress and other FHIR-related news
A general forum to ask questions and share information

The table below provides more details on the workstream activity:

eReferrals	Tim Berezny (CareDove) Caryn Harris (Orion Health)	Build eReferral use cases Prototype eReferral use cases Select Resources to include in Specifications Write preliminary Specifications for broader use	Assembled stakeholders from across the e-referral spectrum to build a community led e-Referral specification.

SMART North COP - Fri Nov 15th @11am ET - Infoway presenting on HALO

Thanks Russ. The HALO conceptual architecture flow has a step 4b "App Authz" to goes from the SMART app to the IDP/AS. Is the intention that all SMART apps will need to authorize with a PT IDP/AS when they are launched (rather than or on top of the 'local' auth flow between the SMART launcher and the SMART app)? I ask because I presume that for step 2 (between the EMR and the IDP/AS) that is a jurisdictional identity mechanism.
