pan-Canadian Patient Summary Interoperability Specifications (PS-CA Specifications)

• Implementable and testable specifications, based on the IHE International Patient Summary specification and the HL7 IPS Implementation Guide.

• Building blocks to create and share condition-independent and specialty-agnostic patient summaries, irrespective of the condition of the patient or the treatment sought or specialty of the provider delivery care

pan-Canadian Patient Summary – FHIR Implementation Guide

• Implementable, testable specification for the HL7 FHIR composition that defines the data payload of the PS-CA specification, based on the HL7 FHIR IPS implementation guide.

• Contains information for solution developers to implement the PS-CA content data model using the HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard. It describes the data elements & types, cardinality, constraints, and code system references

pan-Canadian Patient Summary - Companion Guide to Use Cases & Definitions

• Companion document to the pan-Canadian Patient Summary Interoperability Specification that presents the broader context for clinical, business, interoperability and solution development considerations that were discovered during the development of the PS-CA.

•  
• Defines the healthcare problem that the PS-CA addresses and includes healthcare use cases and interoperability requirements in terms that will be traceable to the content in

• the pan-Canadian Patient Summary - Companion Guide to Reference Architecture

pan-Canadian Patient Summary - Companion Guide to Reference Architecture

• Contains background information on the abstracted PS-CA actors and transactions for the Pan-Canadian Patient Summary Interoperable Specifications, describes baseline information on the recommended IHE profiles, and includes links to the IHE source documentation where stakeholders can get additional details on each PS-CA actor and transaction.

• Includes descriptions of alternatives and choices for implementation patterns and ecosystem architectures to support the PS-CA in current state, including sequence diagrams that demonstrate the relationship and dependencies between the PS-CA actors and transactions.
