Ontario Provincial Review Notice | Patient Summary & Mental Health and Addictions Provincial Data Set

Starting December 8, 2021 to Jan 20, 2022, we will be launching two provincial reviews for the following iGuides:

Ontario Patient Summary – HL7® FHIR® Implementation Guide (Release 1)

• The Patient Summary document is a “health record extract comprising a standardized collection of clinical and contextual information (retrospective, concurrent, prospective) that provides a snapshot in time of a subject of care’s health information and healthcare.” (ISO/TR 12773-1:2009).
• It contains essential clinical information that enables a common view and understanding of the patient within the circle of care and may be used by health care providers to support:

- Transition and transfer of patients across the continuum of care.
- Coordination and collaboration around a patient’s care in the context of Ontario Health Teams.
- Safe provision of care in unexpected or unscheduled medical situations (e.g., emergency or urgent care).

Ontario Mental Health and Addictions Provincial Data Set – HL7® FHIR® Implementation Guide (Release 1)

• The Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) Data and Digital initiatives (DDI) will provide the foundation to report on the performance of the MHA system, make evidence-based service planning decisions, and enable service providers to access the full range of client information they need to provide optimal care, leading to better outcomes and seamless care transitions across the lifespan.
• The Mental Health and Addictions Provincial Data Set (MHA PDS) will be implemented in a phased approach to standardize the collection of data across the sector and lifespan.
