Agenda and Action Items Review

• Michael reviewed the action items which have remain open since the June Community Call

Community Work Items – What do we want to work on in the Coming Year?

• Template for Implementation Guides on Simplifier.net; all Implementation Guides being migrated to Simplifier.net will be using this template; looking for national feedback on this template
• ACTION ITEM: Community to review the example representing the proposed iGuide Template: simplifier.net/guide/draftpcriguide/home
• CCO – Synoptic Surgery Reporting; integration of data from a variety of sources; can FHIR / CDS Hooks be leveraged to advance these efforts?
• Assessment of Simplifier.net’s compliance with AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) stipulations on digital accessibility
• ACTION ITEM: Community to reach out to Yaron / Gavin / Michael if there are any other work items that come to mind going forward

Discussion: Canadian Baseline Profiles

• Joel drafted a ‘Patient’ profile on Simplifier
• Idea here is around having national standards for FHIR Resources, generic and baseline concepts; questions of governance and maintenance
• Key is to not constrain the base resources so much that implementers decide not to use the baseline profiles
• Australia is also working on Baseline Profiles
• ACTION ITEM: Yaron / Gavin / Michael to take discussion items raised from Community Work Items and Canadian Baseline Profiles sections and plan for the coming year

eRefferal

• John provided the stream update
• Ongoing eReferral implementation between ThinkResearch and CareDove
• eReferral Spec on Simplifier.net has been updated
• Expectation is to have a live eReferral implementation by end of calendar year
• Currently leveraging a hybrid approach between messaging and REST paradigms

SMART on FHIR

• Lots of SMART on FHIR examples have been examined since this stream began
• Workstream has a solid understanding of the ‘chicken and egg’ issue surrounding SMART on FHIR APIs, apps, and source systems
• Need to identify a body / organization willing to bring source system vendors together to develop common FHIR Profiles (baseline profiles)

FHIR Tooling

• Frederic provided the update
• Not much change in work items over the summer hiatus

Solution Architecture

• Igor provided the update
• Need to come up with Canadian URIs for the FHIR extensions for drug / medication

Additional Items

• Next month callers can expect more of a roadmap for the year ahead

Hi All!

Hope that everyone has had a great summer, and is transitioning well into the fall. Following our summer hiatus from the Community-wide calls, we would like to plan our next Community Call for Wednesday October 24th, from 12-1pm EST. We will be using this call as an opportunity to collect any existing and new work items, with the intention of trying to determine the work plan for the FHIR Implementations Working Group for the upcoming year.

A draft agenda will be posted in this thread closer to the date of the Community Call.

Thank you!
