SDC or Structured Data Capture might sound unfamiliar, but it is of interest to many health IT engineers. Anyone involved in a project that needed to collect data via clinical forms or maybe developed applications that allow designing clinical forms was working on the same problem that is addressed by the FHIR SDC specification. FHIR SDC specification standardizes the process of describing the form, collecting clinical data, and storing it to the Clinical Data Repository. I am sure that many will find this session useful; someone might find an existing tool to use in their project.
In this meetup, experts explore the capabilities of SDC in FHIR, focusing on its role in creating dynamic questionnaires and automating data capture processes. Discover practical insights and strategies for leveraging SDC to improve efficiency and interoperability in healthcare systems.
Lloyd provided a quick introduction to the current state of the SDC IG specification. He explained the capabilities of FHIR Questionnaires and the limitations of using them. Lloyd also outlined future plans for the SDC specification’s evolution within the FHIR standard.
As one of the initial developers of the FHIR standard, Lloyd has been extremely active in supporting FHIR development, with roles as a community liaison and co-chair of the FHIR Infrastructure work group and member and past co-chair of the FHIR Management Group. He's also the principle author of the Structured Data Capture implementation guide and has provided guidance on the use of FHIR Questionnaires to a wide variety of other guides.
In the case of some platform that is used by multiple organizations, lots of efforts are usually spent on customization for such forms to fit the particular organization’s needs. I would like to share my experience, how it could be achieved in a less painful way.
An active participant in the FHIR community and a key contributor to the SDC IG, he has launched more than 30 projects in digital health based on FHIR over the past 9 years. His exceptional knowledge of the FHIR standard enables him to design sophisticated applications for modern EHR and EMR systems. Ilya is passionate about sharing knowledge and educating others, which is reflected in his presentations at international events and contributions to open-source solutions.
Paul showed us how he helped to develop an open-source JavaScript library for rendering Questionnaires at the National Library of Medicine’s Lister Hill Center (LHC). The library supports most of the SDC specification and has a live demo.
Paul Lynch is technical lead of the Clinical Data Interoperability Team at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). Since 2016, NLM has had a project (https://lhcforms.nlm.nih.gov) which since 2016 has been developing web services and open-source tools for FHIR. Because many of these tools are questionnaire-related, Paul participates in the FHIR-I calls for Questionnaire and helps run the Questionnaire track at FHIR Connectathons.
A number of FHIR based clinical data repositories have recently come to market. However, clinical organizations often need to develop inhouse applications in order to leverage these platforms. Atmodyne facilitates rapid application development against the FHIR model while requiring minimal technical knowledge from the users.
Developer who is passionate about learning new tools and solving challenging problems. I enjoy exploring new perspectives and approaches. I love video games as a consumer, a critic, and a creator. I admire elegant solutions and strive for elegance and simplicity in my own work.
The energizer for your FHIR projects. The development of FHIR applications can be very tedious, especially as the healthcare industry needs to respond quickly and agilely to new requirements. With the right tools this task can be greatly enhanced. We will take a closer look at Questionnaire.Buider, which enables quick and efficient building and customizing of FHIR questionnaires.
