Interweave FHIR Implementation Guide
Background and Purpose
This Implementation Guide defines Interweave standards for the population of FHIR Resources.
This Implementation Guide is based on practical experience with early implementers - and considers both the data which providers are typically able to offer, and also the data which consumers find they need to provide a safe and meaningful display. It aims to address real-world practical problems which have been discovered in implementation due to the wide-ranging optionality of FHIR.
The aim is not only to define a useful constrained standard, but also to capture the thought process and rationale behind decisions made. Therefore:
The "guidance" section describes general principles, which help to explain the rationale behind the detailed decisions which follow
The "artefacts" section describes a constrained profile for each type of FHIR Resource. This includes notes to further explain the rationale at a detailed field level
Comments and consultation are welcomed. It is vital that these data standards are widely accepted and are seen as a practical and implementable approach. We are actively seeking and welcome input to ensure this is the case.
Status and Approvals
The profiles in this implementation guide are categorised by status as follows:
Draft: Work In Progress - this is initial work, shared for consultation but unstable and still subject to discussion and change at any time.
Draft: For Review - the draft is more stable and ready for wider review. However may still be subject to change at any time, for example based on review comments
Active: Approved (STU) - the profile has been approved for use by the regional Technical Design Authority. It may be considered as a Standard for Trial Use. Any changes will be notified and Change Controlled.
Active: Implemented (STU) - whilst still a Standard for Trial Use, the profile has been proven in at least one successful implementation
Active: Normative - the profile is widely established and proven, and may be considered Normative
Deprecated - the profile has been superceeded and should no longer be used for new implementations
How to read this guide
The top menu bar provides access to the following main sections:
Artefacts (Interweave) - please select a FHIR Resource of interest to review the detailed Interweave data standards
Within each artefact then a suggested approach would be:
Read the introductory text. This provides useful background explanation and rationale, plus offers a simple descriptive summary of which fields are required and why
Review the "Differential Table". This highlights the changes that have been made to further tighten the CareConnect profile. This includes the red highlighter markings to indicate all "Must Support" fields
Back at the top of the page, look at the "Examples" tab. This contains example instances - to illustrate what the data might actually look like in practice.
