Session 5 - Functional Modules And Security/Privacy Flashcards
What are functional modules of FHIR?
Logical, overarching groupings of resources
What does FHIR say about security?
It does not mandate a single security approach, but rather provides building blocks and guidelines
What does the security/privacy module do?
To protect the FHIR server (through Access control / authorization)
To determine what resources the user has access to (through Consent (think HIPAA))
To document what happens on / to a server (audits, event logging and provenance)
Provenance is the Who, what, where, when, why
What is the foundation module and its resources?
The basic framework on which the FHIR spec is built.
Base documentation, XML, JSON, Data types, and Extensions
What is the Implementer Support module and its resources?
This module provides info useful for Implementers, like where to find resources, tools, libraries etc
Downloads, version mgmt, use cases, testing
What is the Security and Privacy module and its resources?
This module describes how to protect the FHIR server, how to document what resources users have, and how to keep track of what happens to server.
Security, Consent, Provenance, AuditEvent
What is the Conformance module and its resources?
The Conformance Module represents metadata about the datatypes, resources and API features of the FHIR specification and can be used to create derived specifications.
StructureDefinition, CapabilityStatement, Implementation Guide, and profiling
What is the Terminology module and its resources?
The Terminology Module provides an overview and guide to the FHIR resources, operations, coded datatypes and externally-defined standard and FHIR-defined terminologies that are used for representing and communicating coded, structured data in the FHIR core specification and profiles
ValueSet, CodeSystem, ConceptMap, Naming System, TerminologyStatement , TerminologyServices
What is the Exchange module and its resources?
FHIR is designed as an interface specification - it specifies the content of the data exchanged between healthcare applications, and how the exchange is implemented and managed. FHIR defines the following methods for exchanging data between systems
Restful API
Messages
Documents
Services
Databases
Bulk upload
Subscription services
What is the Administration module and its resources?
The Administrative module covers the base data that is then linked into the other modules for clinical content, finance/billing, workflow, etc. It is built on the FHIR technology platform modules.
Before any clinical data can be recorded, the basic information of the patient must be recorded, and then often the basis of the interaction (such as an encounter).
Patient, Practitioner, CareTeam, Device, Organization, Location, Healthcare Service
What is the Clinical module and its resources?
This Clinical Module focuses on the FHIR resources that represent core clinical information for a patient. The information contained in these resources are those frequently documented, created or retrieved by healthcare providers during the course of clinical care. Resources generated during the course of diagnostic studies can be found in the Diagnostics Module, whereas the resources related to medication ordering and administration process can be found in the Medications Module.
Allergy, Problem, Procedure, CarePlan/Goal, Family History, RiskAssessment, etc.
What is the Diagnostics module and its resources?
The Diagnostics Module provides an overview and guide to the FHIR content that addresses ordering and reporting of clinical diagnostics including laboratory testing, imaging and genomics.
Observation, Report, Specimen, ImagingStudy, Genomics, etc.
What is the Medications module and its resources?
This module is concerned with resources and functionality in 3 main domains:
The ordering, dispensing, administration of medications and recording statements of medication use.
Recording of Immunizations given (or not given), evaluation of given immunizations and recommendations for an individual patient at a point in time.
The creation or querying for medications as part of drug information or drug knowledge.
Medication,
Request, Dispense,
Administration,
Statement,
Immunization, etc.
What is the Workflow module and its resources?
The workflow module focuses on the coordination of activities within and across systems. This includes three primary aspects:
How do we ask for another person, device or system to do something?
How do we track the linkages and dependencies between activities - actions to their authorizations, complex activities to individual steps, protocols to plans to orders, etc.?
How do we define what activities are possible and the expected order and dependencies of the steps within those activities? I.e. process/orchestration definition
Introduction + Task, Appointment, Schedule, Referral, PlanDefinition, etc.
What is the Financial module and its resources?
The Financial module covers the resources and services provided by FHIR to support the costing, contracting, financial transactions and billing which occur within a healthcare provider as well as the eligibility, enrollment, authorizations, claims, contracts and payments which occur between healthcare providers and insurers and the reporting and notification between insurers, subscribers, patients and other parties.
Claim, Account,
Invoice, ChargeItem,
Coverage + Eligibility
Request & Response, ExplanationOfBenefit, etc.
