This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.1.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build.

This page contains miscellaneous information on FHIR implementation. The content is primarily directed at implementers of Reporting Ill Travelers to CDC.
This implementation guide uses specific terminology to flag statements that have relevance for the evaluation of conformance with the guide:
SHALL indicates requirements that must be met to be conformant with the specification.
SHOULD indicates behaviors that are strongly recommended (and which may result in interoperability issues or sub-optimal behavior if not adhered to), but which do not, for this version of the specification, affect the determination of specification conformance.
MAY describes optional behaviors that are free to consider but where the is no recommendation for or against adoption.
The conformance verbs (SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, MAY) used in this guide are defined in FHIR Conformance Rules.
When reading the Profiles defined in this IG, Must Support on any profile data element SHALL be interpreted as follows:
This IG also leverages the US Core set of profiles defined by HL7 for sharing individual health data in the U.S. Where US Core profiles exist, and supports this use case, this IG either leverages them directly or uses them as a base for any additional constraints needed.
Where US Core profiles do not yet exist, new profiles have been created.
Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) IG has a goal of providing more complete and timely case data, support disease / condition monitoring, and assist in outbreak management and control.
