Work Item Proposals Discussed

MHD FHIR R5 (Issue #229)

Goal. Provide an MHD on FHIR R5 track in parallel to today’s normative MHD on FHIR R4 This will not deprecate R4. This is funded/sponsored by IHE-Europe.

Editorial/Packaging approach
  • Create a versioned branch of the MHD repo for the R5 work.
  • Publish as a new major line with a suffix (e.g., 5.0.0-R5) so it’s clearly not replacing the 4.x line; R4 remains the recommended publication. And the version tested at connectathons
  • IHE normally avoids multiple simultaneously-published versions; this plan intentionally carves out a method to keep both visible until a future convergence (likely at FHIR R6).
Technical notes
  • Many sections of MHD don’t change; the big changes are in DocumentReference.
  • AuditEvent: profile directly for R5 (not strictly via BALP), keeping consistent with a future BALP upgrade.
  • Dependencies: PDQm should be fine (normative resources); FormatCode is vocabulary (version-agnostic); IUA is version-agnostic; MHDS update is out of scope.

Timeline: Europe/EHDS would like a TI as early as Dec 2025; recognize this stresses normal governance. Aim to get as close as feasible.

Actors/options: Ensure both Source and Responder variants are supported where relevant; keep options tightly scoped and testable.

National/Regional use: Treat R5 line as suitable for national extensions and European projectathons (EHDS) while avoiding pressure on global sites to switch.

Maintenance risk: Running two live lines (R4 & R5) adds overhead; keep diffs minimal and document precise deltas.

Future: Expect broad convergence at FHIR R6; the R5 branching/packaging pattern will inform how to run dual lines for other profiles later.

Full-Text Search for Document Sharing (Issue #225)

Goal. Add server-side cross-document full-text search to IHE Document Sharing so clinicians can find relevant unstructured documents (e.g., PDFs) without opening each one.

Key takeaways from discussion
  • Complements existing metadata and structured-data queries (XDS/MHD, mXDE, QEDm).
  • Scope is limited to MHD unstructured content search; leave structured extraction to existing

De-identification Support Enhancements (Issue #228)

Status / Notes
  • Dependency on the De-identification Handbook updates
  • Needs refinement (scope and details)
  • Lacks an editor (volunteers requested)

Consensus / Discussion

Promote MHD R5 and Full-Text Search to “In development”

  • Proceed with MHD-R5 as a parallel line; R4 remains recommended.
  • Keep MHD-R5 scope limited (no net-new functionality beyond R5 alignment).
  • Prefer MHD-R5 branch + suffixed versioning to avoid confusion with the R4 line.
  • MHD-R5 Does not conflict with Full-Text Search
  • Scope Full-Text Search to MHD R4

Action Items

John: Stand up the MHD-R5 branch, seed with change list (DocReference diffs, AuditEvent approach, examples, cross-reference table for Vol-3 ↔︎ profiles). gematik (Michael, Raik) confirm IHE International Membership, Join ITI tech mailing list Hagan: schedule meetings
