Hi all – I had a chance to review the minutes of the UHC meeting (sorry I couldn’t attend it… the topics and discussion were very interesting!). There was a line of discussion around the similarities between the CR and the beneficiary database (in OpenIMIS).

This is a topic that relates to work done by the JLN a few years ago to map a common digital health infrastructure that could be used to serve healthcare and UHC workflows (and the analytics needed to manage each of these). It was published in 2014 by PATH, but (except that it predates FHIR) the concepts are all still very applicable. The book can be found, here: https://www.jointlearningnetwork.org/resources/connecting-health-information-systems-for-better-health/. There is a 1:1 mapping that can be made between CR and beneficiary DB, between FR and empaneled providers, between HWR and empaneled practitioners, between healthcare terminologies and billing codes, and between SHR and insured service transactions. See Fig. 10 here for an example: https://jln1.pressbooks.com/chapter/4-plan-for-current-and-future-requirements-as-the-national-ehealth-infrastructure-matures/.

I hope this is helpful and I’d be happy to discuss this work with anyone interested in exploring how our new FHIR-based profiles can operationalize the approaches described in the chapter on “enterprise architecture”. :slight_smile:

Warmest regards,
Derek
