PS-CA

The Projectathon 2023 will focus on interoperability demonstrations based on the pan-Canadian Patient Summary (PS-CA v1.0.0 TI) and the associated pan-Canadian FHIR Exchange (CA:FeX v1.0.0 TI) specifications, both ready for trial implementation. The PS-CA specification defines the building blocks to create and share patient summaries. 

The purpose of the test cases for the PS-CA will ensure that the Patient Summary is formatted and contains the required content according to the PS-CA Implementation Guide. A PS-CA clinical data set will be provided to support these test cases. Refer to the Test Data Sets for more details.

PS-AB

Alberta is in the process of developing implementation details to provide to their implementers. 

Update: The PS-AB will not be tested at the Projectathon 2023. Vendors are being requested to focus on the PS-CA. At such time that the PS-AB is ready, it is expected that minimal configurations configuration of capability in the vendor systems will be needed.

PS-ON

The Ontario Patient Summary is based on the International Patient Summary standard and was developed in collaboration with Canada Health Infoway and other jurisdictions and with preliminary input from primary care clinicians and solution vendors.

The Ontario Patient Summary (PS-ON) Standard aligns, where applicable, to the International Patient Summary (IPS) HL7 FHIR standard, the Pan-Canadian Patient Summary (PS-CA) Standard (under concurrent development), and the Canadian Baseline (CA-Baseline). 

The purpose of the test cases for PS-ON will ensure that the Patient Summary is formatted and contains the required content according to the PS-ON implementation guide. 

In support of these test cases, the following documents will be provided:

• a PS-ON clinical data set, available here: Test Data Sets
• a configuration document outlining the differences between the PS-CA and the PS-ON, available here: Test Tools and Training
