Hello everyone. I have started the journey of implementing FHIR into an existing mental health care application. One of the things I'm struggling with is how to go about representing a treatment protocol (CarePlan) as well as the tooling that would need to be involved in orchestrating workflows. So far, I've been investigating BPMN+ integrating with FHIR in some way. Wondering what the guidance is out there for how everyone else is representing their workflows.

I won't be in today's workflow call, but we could organize a brief overview for next monday @Reinhard Egelkraut @Oliver Krauss.

Came across this: https://igia.github.io/, as well as been talking to some vendors that integrate BPMN with FHIR. Really trying to find guidance on where things are heading

@Mark Steele, apologies for the delayed response :(. Within FHIR, the PlanDefinition and ActivityDefinition resources support modeling workflows, with the very rough mapping of PlanDefinition -> Workflow, ActivityDefinition -> Task. The work in this area is ongoing, but it is fairly well developed for a subset of BPMN, specifically as documented here: http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/cpg/documentation-methodology.html. Work on this mapping, as well as ongoing discussion and work on using FHIR for workflow occurs on the Workflow subworkgroup of FHIR-I, every other Monday at 2:00PM ET. Note that the Clinical Guidelines IG (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/cpg) is currently being used in a number of projects to model guideline recommendations and pathways. A methodology-focused introduction for how it is being used with FHIR is here.
