Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Delivered two key features for the tewhatuora/cinc-fhir-ig project that enhance traceability, interoperability, and NZ-specific claim profiling. Feature 1 implements Outreach Correlation ID tracing with meta tags and a standardized sender/requester display name to improve traceability of outreach service requests and tasks. Feature 2 introduces the NzPharmacyClaim FHIR profile for New Zealand, extending the base Claim with NZ-specific extensions (patient cohort, claimant numbers, flags, code system/value set) and refining cardinality and project config. These changes strengthen auditability, data clarity, and readiness for NZ pharmacy claim workflows.

Apr 1, 2025Month: 2025-04 — Delivered targeted documentation enhancements for outreach scenarios within the cinc-fhir-ig repository, elevating accuracy and clarity for implementers. Key outcomes include updated FHIR resource examples (removing outdated metadata fields), a refined ServiceRequest claim sequence diagram, and revised outreach use-case documentation to reflect current metadata handling and task/referral workflows. While no major code defects were reported, the improvements reduce ambiguity, accelerate integration, and support reliable adoption of outreach workflows.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 performance summary for tewhatuora/cinc-fhir-ig: Delivered foundational Outreach Referral profiling scaffolding with capability statement and Sushi config updates, including outreach codes integration and related examples. Implemented Task.statusReason support, added associated examples, and aligned CMS with the current CMS version. Updated CMS profiles with extensions and title to reflect new capabilities, and enhanced capability statements and communication examples. Reduced configuration drift through Settings updates, renamed status reason codes, and performed targeted cleanups (invariants/unused valueset removals, task.fsh renaming, and general code cleanup). Bumped the IG version to reflect the release. These changes improve interoperability, reduce operational risk, and enable new CMS capabilities for healthcare integrations.
