Summary

 This implementation guide includes a DRFAFT machine-readable representation of WHO guidelines for Surveillance and Outbreak Toolkit. This implementation guide explicitly encodes data models, forms, terminologies, and data extractions, in a computable language to support implementation of case based surveillance use cases by WHO Member States. The guide is part of the WHO SMART Guidelines approach to support countries to integrate WHO global health and data recommendations into digital systems accurately and consistently.

The SDC specification provides an infrastructure to standardize the capture and expanded use of patient-level data collected within an EHR.
This includes two components:
* Support more sophisticated questionnaire/form use-cases such as those needed for research, oncology, pathology and other clinical domains.
*Support pre-population and auto-population of EHR data into forms/questionnaires for uses outside direct clinical care (patient safety, adverse event reporting, public health reporting, etc.). (built Tue, Mar 8, 2022 18:32+0000+00:00)
