Limitations, Dependencies, and Preconditions for Consideration: Applicable Security Patterns for Consideration:
  • The IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework Supplement, Healthcare Provider Directory (HPD), Trial Implementation was proposed, but not adopted for CEHRT 2015. The Health IT community has recognized the value of the underlying data elements and structure of that standard. The standard has met with limited adoption due to other concerns with the API. Work is underway in FHIR workgroups to reconcile FHIR resources with the data requirements of Provider/Healthcare Directories in order to offer a Healthcare Directory resource as part of FHIR. http://argonautwiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=Implementation_Guide
  • FHIR Resources are in various stages of maturity. Please refer to the FHIR website for updates on specific profiles and their progress.
