Scope
This implementation guide is developed as part of Ontario Health's plan to facilitate the exchange of clinical patient and other healthcare system data. Ontario Clinical Data Repository (CDR) is designed to enable physicians to view acute and community patient data from hospitals and community care organizations across the province. This CDR intends to store and provide a record of the care which has been and is currently being provided to clients of the Ontario health system.
The purpose of this implementation guide is to develop guidance and explore potential of using FHIR standard for CDR data consumpton.This aligns with the provincial DHIEX regulation which stipulates that FHIR will be the primary healthcare interoperability standard in health data exchange in Ontario.
The current design of this implementation guide focuses on FHIR representation of patient visits and clinical docuements.
