FHIR and Public Health
summary
Public health mortality reporting moves from batch archives toward near‑real‑time FHIR pipes: a profiled FHIR representation of the death certificate (mapped with Georgia Tech and MITRE/hi3 work), a SMART on FHIR app prototype that pulls EHR data to prefill cause‑of‑death fields, and a production NEECOD in New Hampshire deployment that covers 100% of medical examiner cases. A six‑state implementers group (CA, FL, GA, MI, NY, NH) aims to get 90% of overdose deaths coded within 90 days.
