Health Level Seven, an international standards development organization, first developed a Functional Model for Electronic Health Record Systems (EHR-S) in 2004 to provide a common language for support functions required for the healthcare setting. Functional profiles, such as the Child Health Functional Profile released in 2008 as a Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU), are based upon the EHR-S Functional Model but detail domain-specific functions and conformance requirements to support the provision of healthcare in a defined setting. Derived functional profiles, which conform to one or more base functional profiles, inherit and adhere to all the rules of the base profile(s), but add additional requirements and conformance criteria to address more specific functions for care in a given setting or subdomain. This project represents the pre-ballot content for a Draft Standard for Trial Use of the Health Level Seven Child Health Neonatology Functional Profile (Neonatology Functional Profile).
