Overview: FHIR Implementation Guide for the FGM Risk Indication System

Background

The FGM Risk Indication System provides the ability to identify (flag) and share an identifier of vulnerable girls and women at risk of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation).

The FGM Risk Indication Service supports the wider Female Genital Mutilation Prevention (FGMP) Programme which is in place to protect, prevent and care for girls and vulnerable women who are at risk of FGM or who have been subjected to it. This service will allow Healthcare professionals and other government organisations (with an appropriate relationship), to flag girls and vulnerable women who are at risk of FGM. This information will be available in the following settings: Spine 2, GP systems, Child Health Systems and other government agencies.

This FHIR Messaging specification has been produced with requirements from the Female Genital Mutilation Prevention (FGMP) Programme and the Spine 2 Development Team.

The FHIR resources in the FGM Risk Indication System DMS are bundled together to construct:

• FGM RIS Query Request message
• FGM RIS Query Request Response message
• FGM RIS Create Request message
• FGM RIS Create Request Response message
• FGM RIS Delete Request message
• FGM RIS Delete Request Response message

Further Information

This messaging specification is based on and is intended to be used alongside the published FHIR DSTU2 1.0.1 (Sept 2015) specification.
