Sessions
Introduction to FHIR SDC
Presentation provides a foundational overview of the Structured Data Capture (SDC) specification. This session will explore how FHIR SDC enhances data capture and exchange in healthcare by standardizing the process of describing forms, collecting clinical data, and storing it in clinical data repositories.
Template-Based Extraction and Beyond
A walkthrough of the template based extraction process, along with a comparison of how it differs from the other approaches available. Focusing on practical examples and hands on demonstrations you can follow along at home in the fhirpath-lab's form tester.
Using CQL with the SDC $populate operation
A presentation on building Questionnaires with CQL Libraries and using them with the SDC $populate operation. Focusing on the Da Vinci Prior Authorization Burden Reduction DTR use case and building blocks for broader use cases.
FHIR Questionnaire-related tools from the National Library of Medicine
• LHC-Forms, a open-source JavaScript Questionnaire-renderer and SDC form filler
• NLM Form Builder, an open-source Questionnaire builder
• A few other tools such as fhirpath.js, the Clinical Table Search Service, and NLM's UCUM tools
Low-Code FHIRPath Tools for Clinical Form Designers
This presentation showcases a FHIRPath expression editor designed for non-technical users working with electronic medical forms. The tool provides a low-code environment with a drag-and-drop interface, context-aware auto-completion, and in-place evaluation features. It allows users to create, edit, and test FHIRPath expressions that define dynamic behaviors and calculations within FHIR-based forms. The session will demonstrate how the editor supports the construction and refinement of expressions across varying levels of complexity.
Managing resource lifecycle with SDC
With all modern SDC features, such as population and extraction, it is pretty easy to create a resource. Things become complex when you would like to manage the whole lifecycle. I will demonstrate how you can reuse a single questionnaire for creating and updating a resource. You will know how to use the Provenance resource to track resource changes over QuestionnaireResponse version history and the person who made them.
Usage of parameterised valueSets in Questionnaires
A common activity in a data entry scenarion like a Questionnaire is to have the set of available options for one question depend on an answer to another question. For example, after choosing a country, the set of available options for a question about a state or region would depend on the chosen country.
Designing Intuitive UIs for Template-Based Extraction: Empowering Non-Tech Users
In this session, we’ll share our experience designing and implementing a user-friendly interface for configuring template-based data extraction.
Our goal was to make a complex process approachable for non-technical users through thoughtful UI/UX choices.
We'll explore key challenges, design decisions, and lessons learned from bridging the gap between technical capability and usability.
