Artifacts Summary

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

HL7 Europe Base Profiles

Base profiles for the European context.

BodyStructure (EU base)

This profile specifies how the HL7 FHIR BodyStructure resource should be used for conveying commonly used concepts in the European context.

Location (EU base)

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Location resource to be used for the purpose of this guide.

Organization (EU base)

This profile specifies how the HL7 FHIR Organization resource should be used for conveying commonly used concepts in the European context.

Patient (EU base)

This profile specifies how the HL7 FHIR Patient resource should be used for conveying commonly used concepts in the European context.

Practitioner (EU base)

This profile specifies how the HL7 FHIR Practitioner resource should be used for conveying commonly used concepts in the European context.

PractitionerRole (EU base)

This profile specifies how the HL7 FHIR PractitionerRole resource should be used for conveying commonly used concepts in the European context.

HL7 Europe Core Profiles

Core profiles for the European context.

Organization (EU core)

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Organization resource common to most of the use cases.

Patient (EU core)

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Patient resource common to most of the use cases. When the ips-pat-1 invariant is satisfied (Patient.name.given, Patient.name.family or Patient.name.text SHALL be present) then this profile complies with the IPS patient profile.

Patient: Animal (EU core)

This profile defines how to represent an Animal as subject of care in FHIR for the purpose of this guide. This is used to identify the species when a specimen is collected from an animal

Practitioner (EU core)

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Practitioner resource common to most of the use cases.

PractitionerRole (EU core)

This profile sets minimum expectations for the PractitionerRole resource common to most of the use cases.

European Health Insurance Card Model (Informative)

Logical models representing the European Health Insurance Card. This is informative material.

European Health Insurance Card

A free card that gives access to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in any of the 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland under the same conditions and at the same cost (free in some countries) as people insured in that country. The benefits covered include, for example, benefits provided in conjunction with chronic or existing illnesses as well as in conjunction with pregnancy and childbirth. Cards are issued by your national health insurance provider. Important – the European Health Insurance Card:

  • is not an alternative to travel insurance. It does not cover any private healthcare or costs such as a return flight to your home country or lost/stolen property,
  • does not cover your costs if you are travelling for the express purpose of obtaining medical treatment,
  • does not guarantee free services. As each country’s healthcare system is different services that cost nothing at home might not be free in another country.

European Health Insurance Card Profiles

Profiles representing the European Health Insurance Card.

Coverage (EHIC)

Coverage profile for the European Health Insurance Card

Patient (EHIC)

This profile represents the constraints applied to the Patient resource when used with the EHIC coverage profile.

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

Body structure model

EHDS refined base model for Body structure

Health professional model

EHDS refined base model for Health professional (HP)

Human name model

EHDS refined base model for Human name

Location model

EHDS refined base model for Details and position information for a place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained, or accommodated.

Organisation model

EHDS refined base model for Health provider or any other type of organisation

Patient Animal model

EHDS refined base model for Patient:Animal

Patient model

EHDS refined base model for patient (subject of care) information

Telecom model

EHDS refined base model for Telecommunication contact information structure

Structures: Data Type Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Address (EU)

This profile extends the Address data type for supporting streetname, housenumber and postal box.

Terminology: Value Sets

These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Body Structure Laterality

Body Structure site laterality qualifier. It indicates - for example - the body site laterality from which a laboratory specimen is collected. (based on SNOMED CT)

Body Structure Qualifier

Body Structure site qualifier. It indicates - for example - the body site qualifier from which a laboratory specimen is collected. (based on SNOMED CT)

EHIC Card ID (system IDs - uri)

System identifiers (uri) used for the EHIC#8 Card Identification Number

EHIC Personal ID (system IDs - uri)

System identifiers (uri) used for the EHIC#6 Personal Identification Number

Types of species

Animal species types for non-human subjects

Terminology: Code Systems

These define new code systems used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

HL7 V3 ActCode - EU extensions

European extensions to the V3 ActCode code system
