## EHDSHumanName to FHIR HumanName Mapping

# EHDSHumanName → HumanName

**Ongoing alignment:**The models are expected to continue evolving, with updates incorporated into this Implementation Guide to maintain alignment with the EHDS Implementing Acts.

### EHDSHumanName → HumanName

 This page explains how conceptual elements from the EHDS logical model are expressed in the corresponding FHIR HumanName datatype used by this Implementation Guide. 

**Mapping Context**
*  **Source logical model:** [ EHDSHumanName ](https://www.xt-ehr.eu/fhir/models/1.0.0/StructureDefinition-EHDSHumanName.html) 
*  **Target FHIR datatype:** [ HumanName ](https://hl7.org/fhir/datatypes.html#HumanName)
