This section describes the data that may be used to prepare your system in support of the No-Peer and Peer-to-Peer testing.

As described in the Test Cases page, there will be a set of test cases focused on ensuring that the Patient Summary document is exchanged FHIR resources are structured in the expected format and that it contains the required information using the correct data types and valuesets, where specific valuesets are defined as required in the national (PS-CA) and harmonized provincial Patient Summary specifications from Ontario (PS-ON), British Columbia (PS-CA:BC), New Brunswick (PS-CA:NB) and, Alberta (PS-AB)CA Core+ FHIR Implementation Guide, in alignment with the CACDI.
The following table provides the clinical data sets for testing. This data may support No-Peer and Peer-to-Peer testing.

During the Plugathon, you will be partnered with other vendor(s) for Peer-to-Peer testing. Vendors may send documents FHIR resources to each other and subsequently retrieve documents from each other. (e.g. Vendor A sends a Patient Summary document resource to Vendor B. Vendor A is then able to retrieve the Patient Summary document resource previously submitted to Vendor B.)

The following clinical scenario presents the journey of a patient who does not have a family physician (i.e., unattached patient). Unfortunately, this is becoming more common. Although the Patient Summary will not solve the problem of patients not having family physicians or other primary care providers, it may improve patient safety issues and dangerous information gaps that patients/families are navigating in the current environment. In the clinical scenario presented below, the journey of Jesse is described in the current-state "with unconnected systems" and in the future-state "with connected systems".

CA Core+ solve?
Even in the age of digital health, system incompatibilities across the spectrum and a lack of data integration and portability at points of care mean that data is often “locked” in an individual system. This causes several issues:
...
When data language, common data elements and exchange methods are aligned and technical components are available, information can be shared quickly, efficiently, and easily whether within a region, a province, a country or international setting.
The Canadian Core Data for Interoperability (CACDI) defines a standardized set of essential health data elements and value sets in the context of a common data architecture to support interoperability and data exchange across the Canadian health care ecosystem. CA Core+ is the expression of the CACDI using HL7 FHIR, as an implementable technical data standard that will be common to all Canadian FHIR specifications.
