Hi all, new to FHIR here. I was wondering if there is a way to get pregnancy related information using FHIR. Things like gestational age for instance.
Thanks!

Please see the preganacy related profiles in the Electronic Case Reporting IGs: Published: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/ecr/profiles.html and a version Undergoing ballot reconciliation from January 2021 ballot: http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/case-reporting/

That goes to the Observation resource.
Gay Dolin (Feb 18 2021 at 17:47):
Also, @Sarah Gaunt

@Shamil - no those are the correct links
Shamil Nizamov (Feb 18 2021 at 17:49):
I'm not about links. I'm about the pregnancy related info.
Gay Dolin (Feb 18 2021 at 17:54):
OK - but more specifically - it is well defined in the IG I referenced and should be used - its all about doing things the same wherever possible :-)

Right. Gestational age would be an Observation. Most of the data in a pregnancy record will be Observations. However, there'll be some MedicationAdministrations, Immunizations, Procedures and other things too. Systems can (though not many do) link all information related to a particular Pregnancy using EpisodeOfCare and the extension that allows linking various resources to it.

There are a few pregnancy related profiles in the, still draft, Australian National Child Digital Health Implementation Guide @Shovan Roy

We have few R4 profiles in here: http://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-childhealth/branches/au-fhir-ch-r4/profiles-dphr.html
more to come..
