About

HL7 CanadaWelcome 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:

CANCELLED - CA Baseline Governance Call Fri Sep 13th 2-3pm

Hi all! This is a heads-up that we need to cancel this Friday's CA Baseline Governance Call. The Governance stream will resume at the next bi-weekly occurrence (Fri Sep 27th 2-3pm ET). The planned agenda for that call will be to discuss / document whether we should be applying standards status extension to any of our materials, profiles, or elements within a guide - If we decided to pursue it, where it would have the most value and ability to maintain operationally. https://hl7.org/fhir/extensions/StructureDefinition-structuredefinition-standards-status.html Thank you!

Hello SMART North community! Our regular cadence of SMART North meetings will resume on Sept 20th with: - an update on the HALO project from the team at Canada Health Infoway, and - a demonstration of a low-code FHIR development platform that the CANImmunize team have been working on. For those who need a reminder, HALO is the Infoway project that stemmed from projects at Ontario Health, BC Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) to support launch of apps from EMRs with context and EHR access mentioned at a couple meetings in the spring.

CA Baseline - Deprecation Process

Please find the proposed deprecation process that the CA FHIR Baseline is considering for it's artefacts. We're asking for your feedback ahead of Friday's Governance Call so that we can incorporate any suggested edits. If content hasn’t been formally published yet (e.g., content in IGuide that has gone to ballot and been reconciled and then published/declared): - If Draft: The content can be removed entirely without applying a deprecated flag - The content can be removed entirely without applying a deprecated flag - May still be reflected as a change in the change log (depending on change log practices – e.g., for two cycles, cumulatively, etc.) If content has been formally published previously, - If Draft(FMM0, FMM1, FMM2): Content can be removed without applying a deprecated flag - If Trial Use (FMM3) Content can be removed without applying a deprecated flag, Content that is removed should be noted in the release log - If Trial Use (FMM4, FMM5): Content can only be removed after consultation* to community , removal does not require the application of a deprecated flag, Content that is removed should be noted in the release log - If Normative: Content can only be removed after consultation* to community, Content will have a deprecated status applied to it, notification of the deprecation flag will go on the release log. After it has been deprecated for an explicit period of time (two major releases or two years - whichever comes first) , deprecated content will be removed on a major version (implementers will still be able to refer to earlier packages) *Consultation = at minimum post on Infocentral FHIR Implementer & HL7 Canada forum asking for feedback then CA Baseline will review feedback and make decision (we will hone this more broadly but this pulls from established process for OID consultation) – even if reader misses consultation window (e.g., 2 weeks- 1 month) there is still opportunity to react in the ballot that has release log item reflecting its removal and can react to that
