Evolution of Specification

The Pan-Canadian Patient Summary project leverages an iterative, consensus-driven, version-based approach for publishing specification content. For more information on the PS-CA Specifications release cycle, readers should review the Pan-Canadian Interoperability PS-CA Release Information page.

This specification has undergone multiple cycles of stakeholder review, validation, and feedback to refine and shape the constraints put forth in the PS-CA FHIR Implementation Guide. The profiles use a versioning system to help implementers understand their development status.Future releases will be developed and managed through the Patient Summary Working Group and informed by the Data Content Standards in the pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework.
