Finnish Base Profiles
2.0.0 - release

Finnish Base Profiles, published by HL7 Finland. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/fhir-fi/finnish-base-profiles/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

## Resource Profile: FI Base Appointment

Official URL: https://hl7.fi/fhir/finnish-base-profiles/StructureDefinition/fi-base-appointment | Version: 2.0.0
Active as of 2025-10-05 | Computable Name: FiBaseAppointment

This is the Finnish base profile for the Appointment resource.

### Scope and Usage

This implementation guide does not profile scheduling related resources.

However, references to Appointment, Schedule, and Slot resources are included here in order to draw the readers attention to another implementation guide published by HL7 Finland:

- Finnish Scheduling

In addition to implementation guides published by HL7 Finland, there is also ongoing work on FHIR APIs for scheduling in the national Kanta system.

Do note also the older implementation guides by HL7 Finland:

- Finnish Appointment
- Finnish Scheduling

The contents of both of these older implementation guides are now considered outdated.

The concepts and resources have been used, most notably by Omaolo symptom assessment services, Palveluohjain service (previously known ajanvaraus ja palveluohjain -sovellus AVPH) scheduling service, and the scheduling API of the OMNI360 electronic health record system.

Implementers should read these implementation guides with caution and verify the latest state of the art from their customers or from vendors of real world implementations.

HL7 Finland is currently considering updating the published implementation guides.

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: FI Base Encounter and FI Base Encounter
- Examples for this Profile: Appointment/appointment-general-practitioner
