Determine how to integrate FHIR DEVAL into SDPi Specifications

[ToddCooper]

Section Number

SDPi-A & TF-2B FHIR DEVAL Gateway

Priority

• Medium: Significant issue or clarification. Requires discussion, but should not lead to long debate.

Issue

As the HL7 PSS-2005 DEVAL project advances toward FHIR resource support + a Device Alerting FHIR IG, how these will be integrated into the SDPi profiles is an open question. Determining a strategy for this integration should be decided soon, ensuring that the resulting standards elements can be easily integrated later in 2024 & 2025.

Proposed Change

Review how FHIR IGs have been integrated into domain TF's (e.g., ITI profiles). Determine the difference between a IHE FHIR-based Profile / supplement / TF final text integration & HL7 FHIR IGs that are referenced and integrated into the specifications.
