The pan-Canadian Core FHIR Profile Set (CA Core+) is based on the HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards. It is the expression of constraints in the pan- Canadian Health Core Data Content Framework for Interoperability (pCHDCFCACDI), in the form of FHIR profiles. A subset of the Pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework, CACDI, aims to define a standardized set of essential health data elements and associated value sets. CACDI works in tandem with CA Core+ to facilitate interoperability and data exchange within the Canadian health care landscape. The CA Core+ specifications will include a core set of common data exchange profiles, extensions, and value sets as well as domain-specific profiles that offer constraints that are applicable under certain contexts (e.g., patient summary, long term care).
In parallel with CA Core+Canada Health Infoway, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is facilitating using a national collaborative effort by engaging Canadian health data and standards communities to continue developing the pCHDCF.collaborative, multi-pronged and iterative approach to develop and consult on the products of the Pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework’s CACDI and Common Data Architecture. This includes extensive consultations in Canada and abroad, including with people with lived experience and their families, Indigenous Peoples, clinicians, care providers, technology vendors and industry partners, researchers, provincial and territorial governments, federal departments, pan-Canadian health organizations, international standards and digital health organizations
As standards in healthcare continue to evolve, it's important to refer to the latest versions of the CA Core + specifications and stay informed about updates and revisions to ensure compliance with current best practices.
