FHIR-Artifact

Resources

The Main FHIR resources involved in this project are:

  1. Patient
  2. Questionnaire
  3. QuestionnaireResponse

Profiles

These MY Core profiles are then used to further constrained the resources to include additional required information;

  1. Patient (MY Core)
  2. QuestionnaireResponse (MY Core)

A system must declare comformance to these profile when sending a related data to HIE.

Reason

  1. Patient resource is required as it functions as a reference to whom this QuestionnaireResponse is subjected towards which is the patient/person assessed during the health assessment.
    • Patient (MY Core) profile further constrains the resource to include local information not defined in the base resource such as specific identifier (MyKad No), ethnic and religion.

  1. Questionnaire resource is capable to group and organize multiple different variables into a structured list of question using LinkId. A method which is suitable for the scope of this project. Using this resource, the health assessment questionniare response can be reference via the linkId created in the questionnaire for ease of data exchange between system.
    • No local profiling was created fro Questionnaire resource.

  1. QuestionnaireResponse resource is employed as the main FHIR resource for data entry and exchange. Data can be collected and stored in answer format that can be mapped correctly by referencing the link Id defined in questionnaire.

Resource Metadata

Each resource contains an element "meta", of type "Meta", which is a set of metadata that provides technical and workflow context to the resource. MY Core mandatories that the source and profile of the data be declared when data is sent to HIE. Further info

Metadata Item Type Usage
source (1..1) uri A uri that identifies the source system of the resource. This provides a minimal amount of Provenance information that can be used to track or differentiate the source of information in the resource. Defined sources for this project are http://pekab40.moh.gov.my, http://mysj.moh.gov.my, http://www.perkeso.gov.my
profile (1..1) canonical An assertion that the content conforms to a resource profile (a StructureDefinition). Refer this project FHIR-Artifact profiles on which profiles are required to be declared when sending data to HIE for this project
