Additional Information K 5 vs K 6

Use Case: K5 vs K6

KISIM as a system has two major technical implementations of medical reports. In KISIM language we call those implementations K5(legacy implementation) and K6(new implementation). Depending on the implementation, different fields can be submitted in the Questionnaire.

K5

While the legacy implementation is used inside all KISIM hospitals, it has a few restrictions with reference to the complexity of the possible Questionnaires. Questionnaires for K5 medical reports can only contain free text fields. At the moment there is no possibility to submit structured data with K5 medical reports.

K6

Whith the new K6 implementation, it is possible to submit more complex and structured FHIR-Questionnaires. As a result, the K6 Questionnaires are a lot more complex and a client system needs to truly understand the Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse pattern to be able to implement a corresponding form filler.
