Artifacts Summary

Contents:

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

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.

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.

Structures: Resource Profiles

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

Allergy Intolerance (EU PS)

This profile constrains the AllergyIntolerance resource for the purpose of the European patient summary.
Coverage: EHIC

Coverage profile for the European Health Insurance Card
Flag (EU PS)

This profile constrains the Flag resource to represent alerts or warnings in FHIR for the purpose of this project.
Organization (EU base)

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

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

This profile represents the constraints applied to the Patient resource when sed with the EHIC coverage profile.
Patient (EU base)

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

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

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Practitioner resource common to most of the use cases.
PractitionerRole (EU base)

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

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

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.
HumanName (Eu)

This profile extends the HumanName data type for supporting multiple family names.

Terminology: Value Sets

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

EHIC Personal ID (system IDs - oid)

System identifiers (oid) used for the EHIC#6 Personal Identification Number
EHIC Personal ID (system IDs - uri)

System identifiers (uri) used for the EHIC#6 Personal Identification Number
ISO 3166 - EHIC Country Codes

ISO 3166 - Country Codes used by the European Healthcare Insurance Card

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

Example: Example Instances

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