Structures: Logical Models

These define data models that represent the domain covered by this implementation guide in more business-friendly terms than the underlying FHIR resources.

Address model

EHDS refined base model for Address structure

Administered dosage model

Model contains elements needed for registering an individual medication administration. It is derived from the full dosage regimen model in order to keep the consistency between the shared elements.

Advance directive model

Healthcare directives concerning life or after life wishes of the patient

Alert model

A statement higlighting a fact about the patient that requires clinical attention to ensure safety and prevent adverse outcomes. Example 1: intolerance to aspirin due to gastrointestinal bleeding. Example 2: intolerance to captopril because of cough (the patient is not allergic but can't tolerate it because of persistent cough) Example 3: the patient has a rare disease that requires special treatment Example 4: Airway Alert / Difficult Intubation Example 5: Diagnoses such as malignant hyperthermia, porphyria, and bleeding disorders; special treatments like anticoagulants or immunosuppressants; implanted devices. Example 6: transplanted organs illustrate other information that has to be taken into account in a healthcare contact. Example 7: participation in a clinical trial that has to be taken into account in a healthcare contact.

Allergy intolerance model

Model for allergy or intolerance.

Attachment model

This model is for containing or referencing attachments - additional data content defined in other formats. The most common use of this type is to include images or reports in some report format such as PDF. However, it can be used for any data that has a MIME type.

Body structure model

Model for body structure

Care plan model

Simplified model for care plan. The model includes minimal information and is not designed to cover the full functionality of care plans. The model is applicable to different domains.

Condition model

Model for a clinical condition, problem, diagnosis, or other event, situation, or issue that has risen to a level of concern.

Current pregnancy status model

Current pregnancy status

DataSet model

Common elements (including header) for all documents and their independently functioning parts, e.g FHIR resources.

Device model

Model for device information

Device use model

Model for information about the use of a device in the care of patient.

Document model

Model for common document data elements, including the common header. Data relevant to document type and its content for administrative and searching purposes.

Dosage model

The model covers usage instructions for administering a medicinal product, focusing on the most frequently used data elements. More complex dosage schemes may require additional elements, which should be communicated as part of the rendered dosage instructions element.

Encounter model

The model provides a structured way to capture information about a patient’s interaction with a healthcare service. It enables recording details related to individual encounters and supports linking closely related encounters when needed. Tracking broader or longer episodes of care that extend beyond individual encounters is outside the scope of this model.

Endpoint model

Model covers technical details of an endpoint that can be used for electronic services

Health professional model

Model for information about a health professional.

Human name model

Model for human name

Immunisation model

Model describes the administration of immunisation products, including vaccines and immunoglobulins, covering active and passive immunisations. It focuses on immunisation as a clinical procedure rather than the resulting immunity. The model supports routine immunisations at standard doses and may overlap with medication summaries or prescription lists. Natural immunity, immunisation outcomes, refusals, and administration or planning details are out of scope.

Location model

Model for details and position information for a place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained, or accommodated.

Medication administration model

The model covers details about single medication administrations within the scope of imaging and laboratory procedures.

Medication model

Logical model for prescribed/dispensed medication. The model is shared by statements, requests, dispensations, and administrations. Each of those may have different restrictions in a FHIR profile. The model is suitable for generic/virtual medications as well as branded/real products. The model aims to have basic alignment with ISO IDMP but it does not cover the full complexity needed for medication registries.

Medication use model

Statement about a single medication as part of a medication summary.

Observation model

Model for information about an oservation and its results.

Organisation model

Model for information about an organisation

Patient model

Model for information about a patient (subject of care).

Pregnancy history model

Pregnancy history for one pregnancy

Procedure model

The model provides basic information about a procedure performed on or for a patient. This includes surgical, therapeutic, and diagnostic procedures, as well as specimen collection. The model does not cover procedures in the planning stage.

Related person model

Model for information about a guardian or other person related to the subject of care

Service request model

The model covers details about a requested service or services. One order may include several requests.

Specimen model

Model for a specimen to be used for analysis

Telecom model

Model for communication contact information.

Travel history model

Relevant information about the patient's recent travel history, for one visit

Example: Example Instances

These are example instances that show what data produced and consumed by systems conforming with this implementation guide might look like.

Consumer

A system that receives electronic health data originating from another system and processes or displays that data. In this role, the system is responsible for ingesting and validating the received data and for preserving the meaning, structure, and associated metadata of the information in accordance with the applicable Consumer obligations, ensuring correct interpretation and presentation to end users or other systems.

Producer

A system that generates or makes available structured electronic health data for exchange. In this role, the system is responsible for being technically capable of populating the relevant data elements in accordance with the applicable “able-to-populate” obligations and for associating the required metadata, such as authorship, provenance, status, and temporal information, before the data are made available to downstream systems.
