Track overview

Objective

This track intends to design and test FHIR Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse resources conformant to the Structured Data Capture(SDC) Implementation Guide.A few selected forms and questionnaires used in the Indian Healthcare System will be converted into FHIR Questionnaires and QuestionnaireResponses and tested for a viable design approach for consistent coherent data collection.

Elaboration

Forms and questionnaires are integral part of the healthcare domain to capture clinical and administrative data.
But there are user experience concerns in the healthcare IT systems for not so good screens, cumbersome data fields and not capturing the right data.

FHIR is for exchanging data but it has capability to capture data as well using the Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse resources in the base specification.

Structured Data Capture(SDC) Implementation Guide provides a set of guidance for the use of FHIR Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse.It represents a collection of enhancements to the standard Questionnaire definition in the FHIR base specification that facilitates data pre-population, data extraction, advanced form rendering and behaviour control.

There is a need to consider a few selected forms and questionnaires used in the Indian Healthcare System as use cases to explore Structured Data Capture(SDC) as a viable design approach to provide better user experience and allow consistent coherent data collection that can lead to a pathway towards healthcare interoperability.

The scope of the track is to design FHIR Questionnaire as per the use case provided and validate the corresponding QuestionnaireResponse on FHIR server.
