Introduction

The purpose of this specification is to design a Consumer CMS to become the provincial solution managed and supported by Ontario Health.

The provincial CMS will support the context synchronization using HL7® FHIRcast. The object(s) in the context are represented using FHIR resources. Version 0.1.0 of the CMS Implementation Guide is based on FHIRcast STU1 and FHIR R4.

Background

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) has developed a Context Management System (CMS) in collaboration with Ontario Health. The purpose of this specification is to design a CMS to become the provincial solution managed and supported by Ontario Health. The CMS will meet Hamilton Health Sciences’ immediate requirements around EMR integration by allowing patient context information to be inserted by EMRs into the CMS during users’ sessions and by allowing the most recent patient context to be pulled from the CMS for a given user. The architecture and design of the CMS will ensure that it can be extended to other Points Of Service and Delivery Channels that are members of Ontario Health.
