An Integrated Model to Capture the Provision of Health and Social Care Services Based on the ContSys and FHIR Standards

In the last decades, there is a shi in the provision of health services from the formal facili es to home care.The delivery of care at home is considered a sustainable approach that not only results in substan al cost savings but is also a key step towards achieving op mal outcomes in the delivery of high-quality health services.Moreover, the adop on of this approach is facilitated by the prompt development of medical and non-medical technologies that can simplify care coordina on and enable distant monitoring of the pa ent.However, home care requires the integra on and coordina on of health and social stakeholders in a con nuity of care perspec ve.This requires the adop on of standards to defi ne a common shared conceptual model that improves the interoperability among informa on systems and organiza ons.In this paper to accomplish this task we combine the ContSys standard and the HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) framework to iden fy concepts to be exchanged between systems, organiza ons and providers involved in the health and social context.This model has been developed to improve the integra on and coordina on of social and health care services within the Italian H@H project.
