One pressing need in the area of public health is timely, accurate, and complete reporting of deaths and the conditions leading up to them. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a new HL7 interoperability standard for electronic health record (EHR), while Sustainable Medical Applications and Reusable Technologies (SMART)-on-FHIR enables third-party app development that can work "out of the box". This research demonstrates the feasibility of developing SMART-on-FHIR applications to enable medical professionals to perform timely and accurate death reporting within multiple different jurisdictions of US. We explored how the information on a standard certificate of death can be mapped to resources defined in the FHIR standard (DSTU2). We also demonstrated analytics for potentially improving the accuracy and completeness of mortality reporting data.
公共卫生领域的一个紧迫需求是及时、准确且完整地报告死亡情况及其相关状况。快速医疗保健互操作性资源(FHIR)是一种用于电子健康记录(EHR)的新HL7互操作性标准,而基于FHIR的可持续医疗应用和可重复使用技术(SMART)则支持第三方应用程序开发,这些应用程序可以“开箱即用”。本研究证明了开发基于FHIR的SMART应用程序的可行性,以使医疗专业人员能够在美国多个不同司法管辖区内及时、准确地进行死亡报告。我们探讨了如何将标准死亡证明上的信息映射到FHIR标准(DSTU2)中定义的资源。我们还展示了用于潜在提高死亡率报告数据准确性和完整性的分析方法。
