## What it does

The skill equips coding agents with knowledge of health data protocols and EHR architectures. It references clinical classifications like ICD-10 and SNOMED CT. Allowed tools include `Read`, `Write`, and `Edit`.

The reference material focuses on Python workflows. It provides templates for parsing HL7 v2 messages with the `hl7` package, covering MSH and PID segments along with ADT^A01 admission events. For FHIR APIs, it details creating Patient and Observation resources via `fhirclient`. It also outlines audit trails with `HIPAACompliantLogger` to track PHI queries.

Running this code requires `fhirclient`, `hl7`, and `cryptography` in your Python environment. Without those packages, the scripts will fail.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add personamanagmentlayer/pcl --skill healthcare-expert -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/healthcare-expert/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/healthcare-expert/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add personamanagmentlayer/pcl --skill healthcare-expert -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/healthcare-expert/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add personamanagmentlayer/pcl --skill healthcare-expert -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/healthcare-expert/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install personamanagmentlayer/pcl healthcare-expert
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/healthcare-expert/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add personamanagmentlayer/pcl --skill healthcare-expert -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/personamanagmentlayer/pcl --path stdlib/domains/healthcare-expert
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/healthcare-expert/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add personamanagmentlayer/pcl --skill healthcare-expert -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/personamanagmentlayer/pcl/tree/HEAD/stdlib/domains/healthcare-expert/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Parse and validate HL7 v2 messages and PID segments
- Build FHIR Patient and Observation resources with LOINC codes
- Implement HIPAA audit logging for PHI access and data updates
- Generate HL7 ADT^A01 admission messages for EHR integration

## Example prompts
- Parse this raw HL7 v2 message and extract the patient identifier from PID.
- Write a Python script using fhirclient to create a vital signs Observation.
- Add a HIPAA-compliant logger to record whenever a user accesses PHI.

# Healthcare Expert

Expert guidance for healthcare systems, medical informatics, regulatory compliance (HIPAA), and health data standards (HL7, FHIR).

## Core Concepts

### Healthcare IT

- Electronic Health Records (EHR)
- Health Information Exchange (HIE)
- Clinical Decision Support Systems
- Telemedicine platforms
- Medical imaging systems (PACS)
- Laboratory information systems

### Standards and Protocols

- HL7 (Health Level 7)
- FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)
- DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)
- ICD-10 (diagnostic codes)
- CPT (procedure codes)
- SNOMED CT (clinical terminology)

### Regulatory Compliance

- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
- HITECH Act
- GDPR for health data
- FDA regulations for medical devices
- 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records

## FHIR Resource Handling

```python
from fhirclient import client
from fhirclient.models import patient, observation, medication
from datetime import datetime

# FHIR Client setup
settings = {
    'app_id': 'my_healthcare_app',
    'api_base': 'https://fhir.example.com/r4'
}
smart = client.FHIRClient(settings=settings)

# Patient resource
def create_patient(first_name, last_name, gender, birth_date):
    """Create FHIR Patient resource"""
    p = patient.Patient()
    p.name = [{
        'use': 'official',
        'family': last_name,
        'given': [first_name]
    }]
    p.gender = gender  # 'male', 'female', 'other', 'unknown'
    p.birthDate = birth_date.isoformat()

    return p.create(smart.server)

# Observation resource (vital signs)
def create_vital_signs_observation(patient_id, code, value, unit):
    """Create vital signs observation"""
    obs = observation.Observation()
    obs.status = 'final'
    obs.category = [{
        'coding': [{
            'system': 'http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/observation-category',
            'code': 'vital-signs',
            'display': 'Vital Signs'
        }]
    }]

    obs.code = {
        'coding': [{
            'system': 'http://loinc.org',
            'code': code,  # e.g., '8867-4' for heart rate
            'display': 'Heart rate'
        }]
    }

    obs.subject = {'reference': f'Patient/{patient_id}'}
    obs.effectiveDateTime = datetime.now().isoformat()

    obs.valueQuantity = {
        'value': value,
        'unit': unit,
        'system': 'http://unitsofmeasure.org',
        'code': unit
    }

    return obs.create(smart.server)
