Assessment of HL7 FHIR Interoperability Between EHR Systems and the Survivorship Passport v2.0 Platform to Generate Treatment Summaries for Childhood Cancer Survivors in Six Clinics: Preliminary Testing Results

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Aug 22:316:1280-1284. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240646.

Abstract

The Survivorship Passport (SurPass) for childhood cancer survivors provides a personalized treatment summary together with a care plan for long-term screening of possible late effects. HL7 FHIR connectivity of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems with the SurPass has been proposed to reduce the burden of collecting and organizing the relevant information. We present the results of testing and validation efforts conducted across six clinics in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, and Spain. We also discuss ways in which this experience can be used to reduce efforts for the SurPass integration in other clinics across Europe.
