Objective
CodeX is a Member-driven HL7 FHIR Accelerator hosting a growing community working together to enable FHIR-based interoperability that drives substantial improvements around the most important challenges and opportunities in patient health.
In the Oncology space, CodeX Members are achieving interoperability by integrating and testing the mCODE (minimal Common Oncology Data Elements) FHIR Implementation Guide -- an open standard language for cancer data -- within Use Cases that test new workflows supporting better cancer care and research.
Exploration of how to leverage the CodeX/mCODE experience within two potential new domains: Cardiovascular and Genomics is currently underway.
To stay up to date on all CodeX news, subscribe to the general mailing Listserv to your right. Feel free to email CodeX@hl7.org to share questions and interest.
CodeX Vision
All Use Cases align with the vision of collecting patient data once, and re-using it to enable a range of critical workflows:

CodeX Strategy:
Community => Use Cases => FHIR IGs + Implementations => Pilots => Impact!
CodeX is driven by its Community, and the community's prioritization of the most important challenges and potential solutions to collaborate on together. CodeX Use Cases - including collection and sharing of patient data for Real-World-Data clinical trials, matching patients with trials, radiation therapy, prior authorization, and registry reporting - demonstrate the potential to improve care and research. This demonstration is achieved through high-quality FHIR standards (free and open for all to use), implementations in software (commercial or open source products) and tested in new workflows, all piloted in-the-field by the stakeholders expected to benefit in the future.
Community of Practice
CodeX hosts a monthly Community of Practice (CoP) meeting, typically on the last Friday of each month at 12pm ET. These meetings are free and open to all who are interested. The Community discusses recent achievements around leveraging the mCODE standard and associated work to improve health care and research in the real world.
Please register to join our upcoming meeting by (1) selecting "Register Here" (2) including your information for registration and (3) choosing the “Add to calendar” drop-down link to add the meeting information and Zoom invitation.
Valuable content from previous CoP meetings can be found on the Meeting Minutes page. Please joins us!
Membership
CodeX Members drive improved data interoperability for better patient care and research. Patient organizations, specialty societies, health systems, researchers, system vendors and many others are already powering our work.
Paying, Sponsored and Government Members have the privilege of serving on CodeX Operating Committee and Use Case Project leadership teams, where they make decisions that drive standards-based solutions and piloting of those solutions.
Contact Steve Bratt or Kim Ball to discuss Membership options that will enable you and your organization to drive real impact.
