FHIR enabling an Immunization registry – part 3
March 30, 2021 6 Comments
So we’ve made a few proposals in the last couple of posts:
- The national immunization plan/protocol will be represented as a PlanDefinition / ActivityDefinitions (PD/AD).
- The patients individual plan will be represented by an ImmunizationRecommendation resource generated from the plan that is specific to that patient
The next thing to think about is how to generate the ImmunizationRecommendation (IR) from the PlanDefinition.
This could be really complicated, depending on the circumstances around the generation. For example, if we just wanted the recommendation for a new born then it’s quite easy. If we wanted more ‘smarts’ – e.g. the recommendation for someone of a given age considering their immunization and clinical history, then it becomes rather more complicated. In this post we’ll keep it simple and not look at the patient’s history, focusing on the ‘mechanics’ of the generation.
As a background to the discussion, let’s think about how a client might use the registry API.
