WHO SMART Guidelines - Measles Immunization
0.1.0 - ci-build
WHO SMART Guidelines - Measles Immunization, published by WHO. 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 version is based on the current content of https://github.com/WorldHealthOrganization/smart-example-immz/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
This page lists and describes the human users and digital services that interact with the system, derived from the business requirements defined at the operational level (L2). For more details about end-users and related stakeholders, see the Generic Personas and the WHO Digital Adaptation Kit: SMART Guidelines for Immunizations (link forthcoming).
Systems managing clinical and patient information are expected to interact with a shared health record, laboratory information system or a longitudinal health record, as appropriate, and to synchronize with data collected in a clinical encounter.
For additional actor definitions, see the Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC) Implementation Guide. Additionally, Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) maintains a repository with common actors used in IHE profiles.
In the clinical flows, generic personas are represented using profiles of the various entity resources in HL7 FHIR, such as Patient, Practitioner, PractitionerRole, and RelatedPerson.
