2. The Problem

The IHE TC problem: The possibility exists that the Follow-up of Non-critical Actionable Findings (FUNC) profile was underestimated in 2016 for level of complexity, scope, global differences, as well as technical challenges adopting a new and evolving technology (FHIR). As a result, the Results Distribution (RD- HL7 v2.5.1 ORU message) was separated from the FUNC profile and went to public comment in June, 2017, but the FUNC profile itself was not quite completed.

Current state of FUNC supplement: <TBD>

The FUNC problem statement:

Also see the original FUNC 2016 Profile Proposal.

<Now describe the Value Statement: what is the underlying cost incurred by the problem, what is to be gained by solving it>

3. Key Use Case

<Describe a short use case scenario from the user perspective. The use case should demonstrate the integration/workflow problem.>

4. Standards and Systems

<List existing systems that are/could be involved in the problem/solution.>

<If known, list standards which might be relevant to the solution>

5. Discussion

<Include additional discussion or consider a few details which might be useful for the detailed proposal>

<Why IHE would be a good venue to solve the problem and what you think IHE should do to solve it.>

<What might the IHE technical approach be? Existing Actors? New Transactions? Additional Profiles?>

<What are some of the risks or open issues to be addressed?>

<This is the brief proposal. Try to keep it to 1 or at most 2 pages>

<Delete this Category Templates line since your specific Profile Proposal page is no longer a template.>
