To begin the job of implementing a FHIR server wrapping an existing primary care system I will need to set some basic scope of interest. A selection of FHIR resources that seem most appropriate to begin seems in order. After a cursory inspection of resources list and descriptions these are my ranked candidates:
- Patient
- Organization
- Problem
- Prescription
- Immunization
- Observation
- Provider
- Order
- DiagnosticReport
- Document
I expect 'allergy/adverse reaction' would also be high on the list, once the arguments have died down...
Under 'Observation' I think a few basic values to include to start will be:
- Blood Pressure
- Tobacco Use
- Height
- Weight
- Pregnancy Status
This is enough to get me going for now....
