About

Welcome to the Patient Summary Working Group

The purpose of this working group is to collaborate on the various aspects of creating, distributing and consuming a health records summary for a patient.

Part of this work will include a definition of what a meaningful health summary should be in the Canadian context, what elements it should include, the standards to be used in its definition and the technical interoperability considerations to support its life cycle.

There are a number of international initiatives that deal with summaries (e.g. IPS). This working group will analyze alignment of those specifications to the expected clinical scenarios that are expected in the Canadian context.

The pan-Canadian interoperability specificaitons and information about testing events (i.e., the Projectathon) can be found on InfoScribe. Notifications about upcoming events will be served through the Forums in this working group.

Welcome once again, please check out the group calendar for upcoming events and the Forum feeds for ongoing conversations.

CIHI Launches Draft Pan-Canadian Health Data Framework and CACDI for Open Review

CIHI wants to hear from you! We are pleased to announce the launch of the: • Draft Pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework Version 1, September 2024 • Draft CACDI Version 1, September 2024, aligned with CA Core+ v0.3.0 and • Open Review. Together, these products provide the data foundation for advancing interoperability in Canada. A subset of the Pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework is the Canadian Core Data for Interoperability (CACDI). The CACDI defines a standardized set of essential health data elements and value sets in the context of a common data architecture. The CACDI works in tandem with the FHIR profiles created by Canada Health Infoway (CA Core+) to facilitate interoperability and data exchange within the Canadian healthcare landscape. Open Review These products are undergoing an iterative development process and we continue to invite feedback on these products. The Open Review for the Pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework’s CACDI and Common Data Architecture is now available. This Open Review runs from October 1 to November 29, 2024. We thank you in advance for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Visit the... About Connected Care CIHI and Canada Health Infoway are partnering to modernize health information flows and create a connected health system. Infoway leads the Shared Pan-Canadian Interoperability Roadmap, which serves as a blueprint for seamless and secure data exchange, while CIHI is responsible for developing the Pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework, establishing comprehensive data standards to ensure consistency, accuracy, and reliability of health information across systems. Together, these initiatives enable the uninterrupted and secure exchange of health information, benefiting patients and supporting a modern, integrated healthcare system across Canada. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected]. Thank you for your commitment to advancing health data interoperability in Canada!
