Vdraft/FHIR GPCare ParamedicalCare

This FHIR IG is currently under development and can not be considered stable and ready for use.

1 Introduction

This is the implementation guide for the information standard GP Care and Paramedical care (Dutch: Huisartsenzorg en Paramedische Zorg). This standard is described in this functional specification and implemented here using HL7 FHIR R4. This implementation guide assumes that the reader is familiar with both the functional specification and the FHIR standard.

Currently this IG covers the use case #Use_case:_Referral_from_general_practitioner_to_paramedic and specifically just the referral and not the transfer of a medical record. As development moves on, more use cases will be added.

Apart from this document, the guidelines as specified in general FHIR Implementation Guide apply.

3 Workflow and message structure

3.1 Overview

The information standards contains various use cases that are not always isolated. For instance, when a general practitioner sends a referral to a paramedic, the paramedic might return an update about the patients treatment process to the general practitioner. A ServiceRequest resource is used to represent the referral. In a later stage, more resource profiles will be added for the transfer of the medical record.

3.2 ServiceRequest

The requirements for the ServiceRequest resource in the context of this information standard are specified using the [n/a] profile. This profile SHALL be used in referral use cases.

4 Use cases

4.1 Use case: Referral from general practitioner to paramedic

This is the technical counterpart of use case 2.5 "Huisarts verwijst naar paramedicus" as described in the functional design.
