The Release 1 FHIR® Artefacts (Profiles, ValueSets, Extensions, etc.) of the Pan Canadian Patient Summary Interoperability Specifications v1 Trial Implementation are presented in the PS-CA Simplifier FHIR Implementation Guide.
As this PS-CA specification is currently a working specification that is being updated as feedback is acquired from various engagement activities, the profiles use a versioning system to help implementers understand their development status prior to the formal release of v1.0.0 PS-CA specification for trial use.
Version 1.0 will be published as Simplifier package that acts as a snapshot in time of the profiling & conformance expectations of V1.0.0 of the PS-CA Specification. This will allow for evolution of profiles to prepare for Version 2.0, without undermining the stability of Version 1.0 profiles. Instructions on how to access and use the V1.0.0 package will be provided.
Implementers are encouraged to begin by reviewing the PS-CA Library of Profiles page which describes the Patient Summary Composition Structure & Profiles (e.g., sections that make up the data model content for the PS-CA).
The list of summary sections within the Patient Summary-CA Composition & their respective profiles can be found below.
Note: Some elements in the Header section reference profiles that do not have appropriate equivalents in the current IPS specification, implementers are encouraged to utilize the minimal profiling expectations outlined National Canadian Baseline profiles in these cases.
