Overview

Draft PH Road Safety Implementation Guide 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 Draft PH Road Safety Implementation Guide (IG) represents the Level 3 (L3) "Machine Readable" artifact in the SMART Guidelines process, translating validated workflows and a 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. The Draft PH Road Safety IG 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.

This publication includes IP covered under the following statements.

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 example.fhir.ph.core#0.1.0

This implementation guide is provided to support the use of FHIR®© in an Philippines context, and defines the minimum set of constraints on the FHIR resources to create the PH Core profiles. This implementation guide forms the foundation to build future PH Realm FHIR implementation guides and its content will continue to grow to meet the needs of PH implementers. (built Mon, Oct 6, 2025 03:30+0000+00:00)

Package hl7.fhir.uv.tools.r4#0.8.0

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 Tue, Aug 5, 2025 20:09+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 (example.fhir.ph.roadsafety.r4) and R4B (example.fhir.ph.roadsafety.r4b) are available.
