5 SDC Form Manager

Formats: XML, JSON, Turtle

SDC Form Manager

(Requirements Definition)

Published: 2014-07-06 (draft)

Published by: U.S. Office of the National Coordinator (ONC)

This profile defines the expected capabilities of the SDC Form Manager role when conforming to the S&I Framework's Structured Data Capture FHIR implementation guide. This role is responsible for maintaining a repository of form definitions and also of performing pre-population of form data.

General

FHIR Version: $ver$
Supported formats: xml, json

REST behavior

The primary focus of the repository is the definition of Questionnaires. However, ValueSets and CodeSystems must also be supported to allow definition of coded data elements. Some data elements will choose to maintain value sets as 'contained' resources, meaning the value set exists only in the context of the data element and cannot be referenced or maintained without also updating the data element. However, systems should support value set re-use across data elements. (Version-specific referencing can be used to avoid value sets from changing independent of the referencing Questionnaire.)

Security:

Implementations must meet the general security requirements documented in the SDC implementation guide.

Questionnaire

Interactions

Name Conformance Description
  search-type SHALL

Allows a user to search for existing forms

  read SHALL

Allows retrieval of a specific known form

  vread SHALL

Allows retrieval of a specific version of a form

  history-instance SHALL

Allows review of changes to a form over time

  create SHALL

Allows defining a new form. Repositories requiring curation of submitted forms may require all new data elements to have a status of 'draft'.

  update SHALL

Allows an existing form to be updated. Servers may choose to prohibit certain types of edits, instead requiring the creation of a new questionnaire (and potentially the retiring of the existing questionnaire). Servers may also limit who can change particular forms.

  delete MAY

Allows removal of an existing form. Servers may choose to not support deletions and instead require that the form's status be changed to 'retired'. Other systems support deletions but limit them to forms meeting certain requirements. E.g. only forms with a status of draft or only forms that have been retired for at least two years, etc.

CodeSystem

Interactions

Name Conformance Description
  search-type SHALL

Allows discovery of existing code systems for use in authoring questionnaires

  read SHALL

Allows retrieval of a specific code system referenced within a questionnaire

  vread SHALL

Allows retrieval of a historical version of a code system as referenced within a questionnaire

  history-instance SHALL

Allows review of changes to a code system over time

  create SHALL

Allows definition of a new code system used by one or more questionnaires

  update SHALL

Allows existing code systems referenced by one or more questionnaires to be maintained

  delete MAY

Not all servers will support deletion of code systems. Status change to 'retired' will be more typical, though deletion of draft code systems may keep repositories cleaner.
