5  FHIR-based reporting

This section describes the functionality that is implemented to generate standardized tables and reports from fhir resources.

5.1 Base reporter: Standardized tables

We provide a base reporter that extracts the most important information for the momcare project from the fhir resources into standardized tables. These standardized tables serve as a starting point for further analysis.

Patient timeline table

In the MomCare project, the patient’s journey over time is tracked. This means that most important information would be captured with a table that tracks each procedure, treatment, or diagnosis that a patient receives over time. For this reason we implemented a functionality to create the patient timeline table.

The patient_timeline table consists of all procedures and diagnosis that a patient is subjected to over time. It is created based on the following fhir resources:

  • patient
  • procedure
  • condition
  • encounter
  • observation
  • organization

The patient_timeline is of the following format:

patient_id encounter_id visit_provider_id visit_provider_name procedure_time code system type description_name visitType visit_type_code visit_no visit_type_no gestation_week
12345678 34 52 Dawar Dispensary 2022-10-10 O98.7 ICD10 condition HIV in pregnancy Antenatal care 424525001 2 2 20
12345678 34 52 Dawar Dispensary 2022-10-10 NaN snomed procedure HIV test Antenatal care 424525001 1 1 18
12345678 123 2 Ngarenairobi RC Health centre 2022-11-18 Z34 ICD10 condition HIV test Postpartum care 424525001 10 1 44
12345678 123 2 Ngarenairobi RC Health centre 2022-11-18 NaN snomed procedure Malaria Rapid Test Antenatal care 133906008 3 3 30
12345678 123 2 Ngarenairobi RC Health centre 2022-11-18 NaN snomed procedure Blood pressure Antenatal care 424525001 1 1 8

next to the patient_timeline also some basic information about the patient is of importance, for this reason the patient_information table is created:

patient_id birthDate enrollment_date age_at_enrolment age_group delivery_date expected_delivery_date
abc123def456 2002-12-10 2023-04-22 20 AGE_GROUP_20_24 NaT 2023-09-06
987654321 1990-09-10 2020-04-01 29 AGE_GROUP_25_29 2020-10-01 2020-10-08

For further analysis those two tables are often combined into one patient_timline_combined table

questionnare_response table

Besides the patient’s yourney the patient is also requested to answer different questionnaires. The DataCare module contains the functionality to flatten the fhir Resource questionnaireResponse to create a table containing all questionnaires’ questions and answers for each patient. This table is called the questionnaire_response table and is of the following format:

patientId ClinicName date survey_id question_id question answer
12345678 Tumaini Hospital 2021-10-07 1 44 Do you have a previous C-Section scar? false
12345678 Tumaini Hospital 2021-10-07 1 42 Is this your first child? true
12345678 Tumaini Hospital 2021-10-07 2 36 At what age did you have your first child? <20
12345678 Tumaini Hospital 2021-10-07 2 35 How many times have you been pregnant before? 0

5.2 Usage Base Reporter

Based on the base reports described above, different reports of interest can be created:

  • DHIS2 reports provide insight in how many mothers visit a clinic, what conditions occur amongst mothers that visit that clinic, and what procedures mothers obtain in a clinic.
  • Value point reports provide the value points (described in the value points section) obtained by clinics by threathing their patients.

In figure 5.1, a high level overview is given of how the base reports provide input for the DHIS2 and value points reports

In the analytics workbench an example note book is provided, showing how to use the base reporter.
