Topic: USCDI provenance
Daniel Tam (Jun 25 2021 at 22:28):
USCDI has a couple provenance requirements, one for Author Time Stamp and another for Author Organization.
In FHIR I believe that the meta.lastUpdated field will work for Author Time Stamp.
I believe meta.Source could be used for Author Organization, but my company is currently using meta.Source to record the device ID (i.e. the specific computer, or the remote monitoring device) that generated the change.
Anyone know if the meta.Source field is intended to cover Author Organization in USCDI? And if so, will the device ID suffice, or do we also need to record the actual name of the organization / institution?

See US Core Basic Provenance for how the USCDI provenance requirements have been implemented.

You will need to ask ONC for guidance

For folks mapping USCDI --> FHIR, see the US Core General Guidance Page

Thanks Brett! Very helpful -- that clearly identifies the provenance resource as what I'll need.
Daniel Tam (Jul 01 2021 at 20:45):
So I've discovered that my FHIR server is storing provenance info, and is capturing what USCDI asks for, but we are not using the Provenance resource as specified by US Core. What is the community's thought on this? Is it find to continue as-is given that my organization is capturing what USCDI is asking for? Or should we be doing exactly what US Core specifies, given that I am based in the US? Thoughts?
