Hi,

We're creating a list of FHIR initiatives across Canada. If you know of any FHIR based data exchanges in your jurisdiction at any stage (conception, in development, fully deployed) can you please share them with the forum? Responses do not have to be formally endorsed by jurisdictional powers that be nor 100% accurate. Any level of detail is welcome, ideally the descriptions will include:

1) Initiative Name
2) Data Being Exchanged (e.g., scheduling, drugs, patient healthcare summary, etc.)
3) Systems involved (e.g., Primary Care EMR PUT/POST data to repository, Acute Care HIS GET data from repository, etc.)
4) Status (e.g, exploration, conception, developing proof of concept, developing full scale solution, deployed and in use, etc.)

Thanks,

Gavin
