Artifacts Summary

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Behavior: Capability Statements

The following artifacts define the specific capabilities that different types of systems are expected to have in order to comply with this implementation guide. Systems conforming to this implementation guide are expected to declare conformance to one or more of the following capability statements.

Health Data Exchange App (HDEA) Server Application - (MedMorph backend services app)

This CapabilityStatement defines the expected capabilities of the HDEA actor when conforming to the MedMorph RA IG and playing the role of a server that receives messages from Data Receivers using FHIR Messaging.

Health Data Exchange App (HDEA) Client Application - (MedMorph backend services app)

This CapabilityStatement defines the expected capabilities of the HDEA actor when conforming to the MedMorph RA IG and playing the role of a client initiating the interactions with both Data Sources and Data Receivers/TTP.

Example MedMorph Data Source CapabilityStatement

This is an example CapabilityStatement that defines the expected capabilities of the Data Source actor. This CapabilityStatement is an example for Content IG creators on how to create a capability statement for a Data Source actor.

Knowledge Artifact Repository

This CapabilityStatement defines the expected capabilities of the Knowledge Artifact Repository actor when conforming to the MedMorph RA IG. This actor is responsible for allowing creation, modification, and hosting of the Knowledge Artifacts.

Example Data Receiver Capability Statement

This example CapabilityStatement defines the expected capabilities of the Data Receiver actor when conforming to the MedMorph RA IG. The actor is responsible for defining Knowledge Artifacts, receiving reports, and submitting responses back to health care organizations. The specific knowlege artifacts, reports and responses to be supported by the Data Receiver will be defined by the Content IGs.

Trust Service Provider

This CapabilityStatement defines the expected capabilities of the Trust Service Provider actor when conforming to the MedMorph RA IG. This actor is responsible for providing trust services. (e.g., Pseudonymization, Anonymization, De-identification, Re-identification).

Trusted Third Party (TTP)

This CapabilityStatement defines the expected capabilities of the TTP actor when conforming to the MedMorph RA IG. This actor is responsible for receiving messages and forwarding messages from health care organizations to a public health authority (PHA) or Research Organization (RO) and send responses back from PHA/RO to health care organizations.

Behavior: Operation Definitions

These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Generate Anonymized Bundle

Generates an anonymized bundle taking an instance of a Bundle containing Protected Health Information (PHI)/personally identifiable information (PII) data. The anonymization algorithm to be used is left to the implementers of the operation.Errors during the execution of the operation can be returned as OperationOutcome per the FHIR spec as a return parameter.

Generate De-Identified Bundle

Generates a de-identified bundle taking an instance of a Bundle containing PHI/PII data. The de-identification algorithm to be used is left to the implementers of the operation. Errors during the execution of the operation can be returned as OperationOutcome per the FHIR spec as a return parameter.

Generate Hashed Bundle

Generates a hashed bundle taking an instance of a Bundle containing Protected Health Information (PHI)/personally identifiable information (PII) data. The hashing algorithm to be used is left to the implementers of the operation. Hashing will be used to de-duplicate patient records. Errors during the execution of the operation can be returned as OperationOutcome per the FHIR spec as a return parameter.

Generate Pseudonymized Bundle

Generates a pseudonymized bundle taking an instance of a Bundle containing PHI/PII data. The pseudonymization algorithm to be used is left to the implementers of the operation.Errors during the execution of the operation can be returned as OperationOutcome per the FHIR spec as a return parameter.

Generate Re-Identified Bundle

Generates a re-identified bundle containing PHI/PII data​ ​from an instance of a previously de-identified bundle. When the re-identification algorithm is not specified by the Content IG, implementers can choose specific algorithms based on use case needs and other program/policy requirements.Errors during the execution of the operation can be returned as OperationOutcome per the FHIR spec as a return parameter.

Get Knowledge Artifact

The operation is used to retrieve the knowledge artifact associated with the PlanDefinition.

This PlanDefinition profile defines the logic and rules for creating a specific content IG plan definition instance. This is an example that can be used as a pattern to create other plan definition instances in the content IGs.

US Public Health CodeSystem

This profile describes the US Public Health CodeSystem.

US Public Health Computable Library

The computable library profile sets the minimum expectations for a computable CQL library.

US Public Health Computable ValueSet

Defines a computable value set as one that SHALL have an expression-based definition (i.e. a value set defined intensionally using expressions of the code systems involved) and MAY have an expansion included. The expression-based definition SHALL be represented in only one of three ways; using the compose element, using the expression extension, or using the rules-text extension to provide a step-by-step process for expanding the value set definition

US Public Health Executable Library

This profile sets the minimum expectations for an executable CQL library. Specifically, the profile requires that the library contain one of ELM XML or JSON content, the compiled representation of the CQL logic.

US Public Health Executable ValueSet

Defines an executable value set as one that SHALL have an expansion included, as well as a usage warning indicating the expansion is a point-in-time snapshot and must be maintained over time for production usage.

US Public Health MessageDefinition

This is the MessageDefinition Resource profile for the IG.

US Public Health MessageHeader

This is the MessageHeader Resource profile for the IG.

US Public Health Organization

This Organization profile represents an organization involved in public health. It is based on the US Core Organization profile and establishes the core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets for representing organizations for public health.

US Public Health FHIR Query Pattern Extension

Supports communicating the FHIR query for a given data requirement. The query is server-specific, and will need to be created as informed by a CapabilityStatement. The $data-requirements operation should be extended to be able to provide an Endpoint or CapabilityStatement to provide this information. If no endpoint or capability statement is provided, the capability statement of the server performing the operation is used. This is not a resolveable URL, and that it will contain 1) No base canonical (so it’s a relative query), and 2) Parameters using tokens that are denoted using double-braces and the context parameters are dependent solely on the subjectType, according to the following: Patient: context.patientId, Practitioner: context.practitionerId, Organization: context.organizationId, Location: context.locationId, Device: context.deviceId
