Adding a New Carepath

To propose a new carepath for inclusion in this Implementation Guide:

1. Create a GitHub Issue
   Describe the clinical need, scope, and stakeholders involved.

2. Propose a Pull Request (PR)
   Fork the repo, create a branch, and add:

   • Relevant FHIR profiles
   • Any ValueSets or CodeSystems
   • Documentation (markdown pages)

3. Validate with the Field
   Gather feedback from clinicians, telemonitoring providers, and other relevant actors.
   The more stakeholders involved, the better.

4. Present to the HL7 Belgium Workgroup
   Share the proposal during a meeting of the HL7 Belgium Patient Monitoring Workgroup, which meets every two weeks.
   Agenda and details: https://wiki.hl7belgium.org/index.php?title=Patient_Monitoring_Outcome_Workgroup

Once approved, your carepath can be merged and included in future IG publications.
