Pharmacist eCare Plan

Description 
This is a joint project between NCPDP and HL7 http://dms.ncpdp.org/index.php/ncpdp-work-groups?view=category&id=64 and is linked to this project is linked to the ONC HIP project https://www.healthit.gov/techlab/ipg/node/4/submission/1726. The next version of the C-CDA Clinical Notes Release 2.1 and FHIR Release 4 May 2019 ballot has been passed and reconciled.  NCPDP and HL7 should be jointly ANSI publishing in the Fall 2019. The goal of this project is to develop an eCare Plan with enhanced medication management content based on the templates in the HL7 Implementation Guide for C-CDA Release 2.1: Consolidated CDA for Clinical Notes and FHIR R4. This care plan called “Pharmacist eCare Plan” will serve as a standardized, interoperable document for exchange of consensus-driven prioritized medication-related activities, plans and goals for an individual needing care Pharmacists work in multiple environments. The Pharmacist eCare Plan will be a dynamic plan that contains information on the patient, pharmacist and care team’s concerns and goals related to medication optimization. The care plan may also contain information related to individual health and social risks that may impact care, planned interventions, expected outcomes, and referrals to other providers or for additional services e.g., nutrition consultation or diagnostic laboratory studies.
