Non-functional Requirements - SMART ICVP v0.3.0 SMART Guidelines This page
SMART released guidelines for the ICVP v0.3.0, which is based on the FHIR R4 standard.
Summary
WHO published the ICVP (v0.3.0), based on FHIR R4, defining non-functional requirements for digital systems. These include general attributes related to system availability and usability, such as offline capability and multiple language settings.

Details
This document is version 0.3.0 of the WHO's ICVP (Interoperability Capability Profile), which serves as a guideline based on the HL7 FHIR R4 standard. It specifically focuses on 'Non-functional Requirements,' defining general attributes and features necessary to ensure the overall availability and usability of digital systems. Examples provided include the ability to work offline, support for multiple language settings, and password protection. The ICVP aims to enhance interoperability in international healthcare IT systems by setting comprehensive quality characteristics (non-functional requirements), going beyond mere data exchange specifications. By defining these general standards, it provides a crucial common design principle for ensuring universal usability that overcomes technical and physical constraints. In the Japanese healthcare IT environment, where system implementation varies across regions and institutions, such a comprehensive definition of non-functional requirements is highly valuable. Standardizing not only the data structure (FHIR) but also aspects like 'usability' and 'operational capability under various constraints' provides an essential reference point for designing and evaluating medical information systems in Japan.
