This implementation specification is based on the FHIR version R4, and defines a unified framework for representing the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Record of Intervention (ZOV ZZS) in the Czech national context. The specification defines the content and structural components of the document and ensures their compliance with the legal requirements of the Czech Republic as well as with European initiatives in the field of electronic health record interoperability.
The main objective is to create a standardized form of the EMS Record of Intervention as part of the patient’s medical documentation, which will be used for the electronic exchange of health information between healthcare providers, the patient, and the national infrastructure. The specification covers both national scenarios and potential future cross-border exchange within the European Health Data Space (EHDS).
This document focuses exclusively on defining the content, structure, and data model of the EMS Record of Intervention. The technical aspects of document transmission and the procedural workflows of EMS crews are not within its scope and are addressed in related standards and methodological guidelines.

This IG defines the global extensions - the ones defined for everyone. These extensions are always in scope wherever FHIR is being used (built Mon, Feb 10, 2025 21:45+1100+11:00)
Package hl7.fhir.uv.ipa#1.1.0
This IG describes how an application acting on behalf of a patient can access information about the patient from an clinical records system using a FHIR based API. The clinical records system may be supporting a clinical care provider (e.g. a hospital, or a general practitioner), or a health data exchange, including a national health record system.

Cross Version Analysis
This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (hl7.fhir.cz.ems.r4) and R4B (hl7.fhir.cz.ems.r4b) are available.
