I’ve decided that I will defer adding FHIR because from my research most all hospital are still using HL7 middleware which really disappoints me because FHIR is superior. Since I developed and released timed one-time tokens in use by portal document notifications directing patients to a portal card or document, I’ll be able to implement related person portal log in. This is ideal for such things as admit/history documents required by patient. This is going to be my next and last submodule. I find it understandable that I haven’t received any ideas or suggestion for module workflow needs since, of course, the community isn’t in this space. But I hope folks find this topic interesting and/or informative and follow along. I attached a good summary document of what, how and why each submodule fits the various care contexts. It’s my best attempt yet at describing the module. I plan to have my demo site up by Friday or Saturday and will announce here.
