SHR™: Standard Health Record

SHR™ (short for Standard Health Record) is an initiative intended to assemble a core set of structured data elements for electronic health records.

The Standard Health Record (SHR) Adverse Events Implementation Guide (IG) is a work-in-progress specification, primarily driven by the CodeX ICAREdata and FDA sponsored project to demonstrate the use of mCODE in the reporting of adverse events using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).

Key folders & files in the IG

• The FHIR Shorthand (.fsh) files defining the resources in this IG are found in input/fsh/.

  • There is a FSH syntax highlighting extension for VSCode. The mCODE team generally uses this set of tools for working on FSH files.

  • The FSH files are prefixed based on what is contained inside.

    Prefix	Description
    AL	Aliases
    DEF	Other Definitions
    EX	Examples
    SD	StructureDefinitions
    VS	ValueSets

• The main pages in the built IG are generated from Markdown found in input/pagecontent/. These pages must also be included in sushi-config.yaml to be compiled to HTML by the IG Publisher.

• The source for the UML diagrams in the IG are found in input/images-source/ and MUST have a .plantuml extension. These are automatically converted to SVG by the IG Publisher, and are inserted inline into Markdown files using {%include some-diagram.svg%} (which corresponds to input/images-source/some-diagram.plantuml).
