HL7 Europe Base and Core FHIR IG, published by HL7 Europe. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.2.0-ci-build built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/hl7-eu/base-r5/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
Note: The content of this page is work in progress and may change based on ongoing discussions within the working group.
The technical solutions listed are possible candidates under consideration and are not yet approved or ready for implementation.
This page describes the element-by-element mapping from the
EHDSAllergyIntolerance logical model to the FHIR
AllergyIntolerance profile in this Implementation Guide.
| EHDSAllergyIntolerance (Logical Model) | Relationship | AllergyIntolerance | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Element | Description | Relation | Element | Description | Notes |
| header | Common header for all patient-related data. | relatedto | . | General metadata. | Dataset-level; not usually carried in AllergyIntolerance as-is. |
| header.subject | Patient/subject this alert is about. | equal | subject | Reference to the patient or subject of the allergy/intolerance. | Reference to Patient (or other subject). |
| header.identifier | Business identifier for the object. | equal | identifier | Business identifier for this allergy. | Copy over all identifiers if multiple. |
| header.authorship | Resource authoring details | relatedto | author | Author of the allergy/intolerance record. | Can reference Practitioner, PractitionerRole, or Organization. |
| header.authorship.author[x] | Who created/issued the alert. | equivalent | recorder | Who recorded the sensitivity. | Can reference Device, Organization, Patient, Practitioner, or PractitionerRole. |
| header.authorship.datetime | Date/time the resource was issued. | equivalent | recordedDate | When the allergy/intolerance was recorded. | |
| header.lastUpdate | Last technical correction/update. | XXXXXXXX | XXXXXXXX | XXXXXXXX | XXXXXXXX |
| header.status | Status of the dataset/resource. | XXXX | XXXX | AllergyIntolerance status is mapped from EHDSAlert.status (see below). | Header status ≠ clinical alert status. Clarify the difference |
| header.statusReason[x] | Reason for current dataset status. | XXXXXXXX | XXXXXXXX | XXXXXXXX | XXXXXXXX |
| header.language | Language of the resource (IETF tag). | equivalent | language | Language used in the flag text. | |
| agentOrAllergen | A specific allergen or other agent/substance (drug, food, chemical agent, etc.) to which the patient has an adverse reaction propensity. | equal | code | Concept that identifies the substance, product, or agent responsible. | CodeableConcept. Bound in EHDS to eHDSI value sets; in FHIR usually VS: AllergyIntolerance Substance/Product. |
| typeOfPropensity | Describes whether the condition refers to an allergy, intolerance, or unknown class. | equal | type | Allergy vs intolerance. | Maps to AllergyIntolerance.type (allergy | intolerance | ...). Value sets: eHDSIAdverseEventType / HL7. |
| description | Textual description of the allergy or intolerance. | source-is-broader-than-target | text or note.text | Additional narrative about the allergy/intolerance. | FHIR doesn't have a single free-text "description" element; use AllergyIntolerance.note (0..*). Could also populate text.div if profiling. |
| criticality | Estimate of the potential clinical harm, or seriousness, of a reaction. | equal | criticality | Estimate of potential clinical harm. | ValueSets in EHDS reference eHDSICriticality; FHIR has its own required VS. |
| certainty | Assertion about the certainty associated with the propensity (diagnostic/clinical evidence). | equal | verificationStatus | Clinical verification status of the allergy/intolerance. | EHDS name "certainty" ≈ FHIR "verificationStatus" (confirmed / refuted / unconfirmed). |
| status | Current status of the allergy or intolerance (active, in remission, resolved, etc.). | equal | clinicalStatus | Clinical status of the allergy/intolerance. | EHDS "status" → FHIR "clinicalStatus". Both point to the clinical/temporal lifecycle. |
| onsetDate | When the allergy or intolerance was identified. | equal | onset[x] | When the allergy/intolerance was identified or first became relevant. | FHIR supports multiple datatypes; here you have dateTime → map to onsetDateTime.
|
| endDate | Date of resolution of the allergy (when it was deemed no longer necessary to track). | equal | extension:abatement | Date and/or time of the last known occurrence of a reaction. | |
| reaction | Adverse Reaction Events linked to exposure to substance. | equal | reaction | Details about each adverse reaction event. | 0..* in both models. |
| reaction.manifestation | Description of the clinical manifestation of the allergic reaction (e.g. anaphylactic shock, angioedema). | equal | reaction.manifestation | Clinical symptoms and/or signs that are observed during the reaction. | CodeableConcept; EHDS allows multiple; FHIR reaction.manifestation is 1..* CodeableConcept. |
| reaction.date | Date and time of allergy manifestation. | equal | reaction.date | Date and time of allergy manifestation. | Both are date/time points. |
| reaction.severity | Severity of the clinical manifestation. | equal | reaction.severity | Mild / moderate / severe. | FHIR has required VS; EHDS references eHDSISeverity. |
| reaction.onsetDate | Date of the observation of the reaction. | equal | reaction.onset | When the reaction occurred. | EHDS distinguishes "date of observation"; FHIR has one reaction.onset → use that. |
