40 min.Status update on VRDR IGAbdulMalik Shakir

AMS provided an overview of current status and planned next steps for the Vital Records Death Reporting FHIR IG

VRDR FHIR IG - Project Status.pptx

  • primary scope of the IG is to exchange mortality data from state PHAs to NCHS
  • the hope is that upstream data sources (e.g., hospitals, medical examiners) can also use FHIR profiles to report to PHAs
  • IG is now an approved / published STU 1
  • STU 1.1 dot release publication approved, anticipated to be finalized in June
  • Will ballot STU2 in Sept. 2021 (NIB deadline July 4)
    • Provide enforcement support for required Inter-Jurisdictional Exchange (IJE) elements
    • Enhancement of standardized codes from National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) to jurisdictions
    • Support for IJE of death certificates
    • Enhanced support for source system data exchange
    • Use profile definitions from Vital Records Common Profile Library (STU 1.1 contributed profiles)
  • IG is US Realm
  • Data flow is FHIR messaging (not RESTful queries) – no plans to change that approach at this time
  • Plan to ballot STU3 or Normative in 2022
    • Debating whether to include workflow in companion messaging spec or IG itself
