HL7 EHR-System Electronic Nutrition Care Process Record System (ENCPRS) Functional Profile, Release 2

The Electronic Nutrition Care Process Record System (ENCPRS) Functional Profile is based on the Electronic Health Record System Functional Model R2 (EHRS-FM). The intent is to develop a standard list of functions and criteria needed for full integration of both the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) and the representative terms from the Nutrition Care Process Terminology (NCPT). The NCP serves as a systematic approach to providing high quality nutrition care. This standardization will encourage the acquisition of EHR systems by nutrition health providers and promote information interoperability between nutrition and food systems and other areas of healthcare. These requirements have been mapped into this functional profile and identify those portions of the HL7 EHR-S Functional Model that apply to patient care in the Nutrition Care Process. Further, these requirements identify functionality toward facilitating ease of use for those involved in patient care using the NCP, thus providing EHR vendors with conformance criteria that are specific to regulated tasks within the NCP in the HL7 International formats.
