Getting Started

This page explains how to start using this guide to share structured Care Plan content by using the Yellow Button.

Why Care Plans ?

Healthcare systems are increasingly characterised by:

• A growing burden of chronic diseases
• Multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral care pathways
• Greater emphasis on outcome-based and value-based care
• Stronger patient involvement and shared decision-making

These developments require care coordination mechanisms that are structured, interoperable and capable of computational support.

What You Should Be Able to Do

Create, validate, exchange or consume a computable Care Plan package based on the xShare Care Plan content model defined by this guide by using the sharing capabilities specified in the xShare Yellow Button HL7 FHIR Implemenation Guide, see:

• getting started with the Yellow Button Download
• getting started with the Yellow Button One-time Share

How to implement the Care Plan content specification

Acting as xShare Yellow Button Content Creator and xShare Yellow Button Content Consumer for Care Plan, implementers have to be able to create or consume Care Plans conformant to the profiles specified in this guide.

The sharing of the set of resources defining the Care Plan by using the Yellow Button dowanload and one-time share capabilities should be made grouping them into a Bundle of type collection.
