This Implementation Guide is under active development and is not yet available for public or production use. Content, data models, and implementation details are subject to change.


Overview

PH-RoadSafetyIG is a FHIR Implementation Guide for road safety and health information in the Philippines. This project is led by the UP Manila - National Telehealth Center - National Insitutes of Health - Standards and Interoperability Lab Philippines (SIL-PH) Project in partnership with the Department of Health and a broad coalition of government, academic, health, and technology stakeholders.

This guide follows the WHO SMART Guidelines framework for digital health standards. The PH-RoadSafetyIG Implementation Guide (IG) represents the Level 3 (L3) "Machine Readable" artifact in the SMART Guidelines process, translating validated workflows and a project-wide Minimum Data Set (MDS) into interoperable HL7 FHIR R4 specifications.


Project Context

Road-traffic injuries are among the most preventable yet under-reported public health threats in the Philippines. Data is fragmented across paper forms, stand-alone apps, and ad-hoc spreadsheets, creating critical blind spots for policymakers, emergency responders, and families. PH-RoadSafetyIG aims to close these gaps by defining a consensus-driven MDS and mapping it to HL7 FHIR R4 resources, enabling interoperable, machine-readable data exchange nationwide.

This IG is grounded in a series of project-led co-design workshops and feedback sessions (2025), which brought together over 30 stakeholders from emergency medical services, traffic management, hospitals, local government units, and relevant agencies. The resulting guide is operationally validated and designed to support both national reporting and local clinical needs.

Package hl7.fhir.uv.extensions.r4#5.2.0

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.tools.r4#0.7.1

This IG defines the extensions that the tools use internally. Some of these extensions are content that are being evaluated for elevation into the main spec, and others are tooling concerns (built Sat, Jul 26, 2025 06:59+1000+10:00)

There are no Global profiles defined

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 (ph-road-safety-ig.r4) and R4B (ph-road-safety-ig.r4b) are available.
