3. Project Definition

3.a. Project Scope

The FHIR Implementation Guide provides a set of profiles for detection, validation, reporting, and ultimately recording/persisting Adverse Events associated with blood transfusions and vaccinations. There are two sets of profiles with the first set intended to enable the detection, validation, and recording of conditions and observations on a patient’s record that would indicate the occurrence of an Adverse Event. The second set of profiles provides mappings to the ICH Individual Care Study Report (ICSR) specifications, specifically FDA’s FAERS (FDA Adverse Event Reporting System) and VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) implementations of those specifications, for the purposes of allowing the submission of Adverse Event Case Reports to FDA using the FHIR profiles after they have been transformed into the current XML specifications.
This FHIR implementation guide will use the US Core profiles. If this FHIR implementation guide is unable to use a US Core profile, we will request approval from the US Realm Steering Committee, and provide the US Realm Steering Committee an approved rationale for deviation in the implementation guide where applicable.

Describe the project; include what is expected to be accomplished/delivered along with specified features and functions. Include whether the deliverable(s) are universal, realm specific or applicable to various realms. Be sure to spell out all acronyms as these are carried forward to the NIB (Notice of Intent to Ballot) for ballot announcements..


3.b. Project Need

Vendor implementations of FHIR servers, along with the US Core Profiles, lack many of the granular data elements needed for detection and reporting of adverse events related to biologic products. Due to this limitation, provider networks often resort to manual creation of these reports and have not widely pursued electronic submission of adverse event reports to regulatory agencies like the FDA. To facilitate electronic reporting of adverse events, and interoperability of data for patients experiencing these events, this implementation guide gives guidance on the data elements needed for detection, validation, and reporting of biologics-related adverse events. This includes data elements needed to capture the granular details of exposure to the suspect drug/biologic, along with documenting the adverse event/outcome associated with the suspect drug/biologic.

This information is required by ANSI for all ballots. Briefly explain the reason behind the need for this project. This may be related to legislative requirements, industry need, or similar justifications.
.


3.c. Security Risks

We will be producing a standard FHIR Implementation Guide.  These IGs have schemas, style sheets, and such, but it will be no different than other FHIR IGs.

Will this project produce executable(s), for example, schemas, transforms, style sheets, executable program, etc.  If so the project must review and document security risks. Refer to the Cookbook for Security Considerations for additional guidance, including sample spreadsheets that may be used to conduct the security risk assessment.
