This study aimed at creating a dataset definition and information model that comprises the key informational elements present in a German MolGen report—defined based on the review of example reports from several German university hospitals by a group of experts within the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII).
Locally adapting the international standard, the Genomics Reporting IG, a FHIR® specification was to be created to provide the dataset definition with a structured exchange format. To show stakeholders how the FHIR profiles could be used to model data contained in German MolGen reports in FHIR®, we aimed to create numerous examples as part of the IG. Additional requirements that needed to be integrated to provide greater usability were sought by subjecting the FHIR specification to a public ballot. We also wanted to evaluate the conformance of the dataset with the ISO/TS 20428:2017 standard through a map.
