This description will be used in both the Announcement of Formation of Ballot Pools and Announcement of Ballot Openings documents		The Bidirectional Services eReferrals (BSeR) FHIR IG provides guidance on FHIR Resources and US Core IG profiles for use in exchanging a referral request and specific program data from a clinical provider to a typically extra-clinical program service provider, such as a diabetes prevention program, a smoking quitline, or a hypertension management training program and provides for the return of feedback information from the service program to the referring provider.

ANSI-Required Information
The following information is required by ANSI for all ballots.
Project Need - Limit of 500 characters
Briefly explain the reason behind the need for this project. This may be related to legislative requirements, industry need, or similar justifications.		The facilitation of comprehensive health records and the bi-directional connection of EHRs with non-hospital and non-ambulatory service programs is becoming increasingly important. Without common standards for these extra-clinical referrals, they will, individually, make divergent requests to EHR vendors or will not be able to take advantage of electronic information exchange and processable data at all.
