The Birth and Fetal Death Reporting Extended (BFDR-E) content profile supports pre-population of data from electronic health record systems to electronic vital records systems for birth, fetal death and death reporting to meet Federal, state and local reporting requirements.

Birth and Fetal Death Reporting Enhanced Profile and Vital Records Death Reporting Recording

Summary

The National Vital Statistics System has a long and enduring history that serves to provide essential data on births and deaths within the United States and is the oldest and most successful example of inter-governmental data sharing in Public Health. Currently, these data typically are gathered by hospital personnel from the hospital’s medical records using paper worksheets. The process of capturing Vital Records information manually is duplicative, labor-intensive, costly and can be error prone. As a result, the timeliness and quality of these data are adversely affected.

The IHE Birth and Fetal Death Reporting Extended (BFDR-E) profile defines the mechanism to capture the information required for reporting to vital records. The BFDR-E profile provides the mapping and data capture rules to collect information from the IHE PCC Labor and Delivery Summary using the forms data capture. However, once this information is captured, there is no standard content document or transactional message specified by the BFDR profile to communicate this information to a Vital Records system. This results in limitations in deployment approaches. The recipient of the data must process the custom form data. The Vital Records systems may benefit from the HL7 V2.5.1 Birth and Fetal Death Reporting transaction specification and the HL7 CDA Birth and Fetal Death Reporting document specification to standardize the data they receive.

Benefits

Establishes interoperable electronic exchange of VR data between EHR and VR Systems
More timely data release
Higher quality data for demographic and epidemiologic surveillance and research
Less costly electronic vital registration systems
Greater integration with other stakeholder electronic systems
Greater standardization of electronic Vital Records data collection and exchange

Details

The Birth and Fetal Death Reporting-Enhanced (BFDR-E) Profile provides a means to capture and communicate information needed to report births and fetal deaths for vital registration purposes. BFDR-E builds upon the earlier Birth and Fetal Death Reporting (BFDR) Profile that utilized actors and transactions defined in the ITI Retrieve Form for Data Capture (RFD) Profile to capture structured data using digital forms. BFDR-E further defines a mechanism to transform form submission data and record it in a CDA document designed to exchange the information in a standard format. BFDR-E also defines a mechanism to transform form submission data and transmit it as a standard HL7 v2 message.
