Scope

This guide collects various types of artefacts (e.g., base and core profiles) designed for use in the European context and intended for reuse by HL7 Europe or derived guides.

Introduction

This version of the guide includes European base and core profiles, as well as other artefacts, such as profiles describing the European Health Insurance Card, which are candidates for reuse by HL7 Europe or HL7 EU-derived guides.

Definitions:

• Base profiles. A set of profiles designed to specify how commonly used concepts in Europe are represented in HL7 FHIR. These profiles are loosely constrained and serve as the foundation for any European-derived profiles.
• Core profiles. A more constrained set of profiles intended for reuse in the majority of EU REALM HL7 FHIR IGs. When reasonable and applicable, alignment with IPS profiles is pursued.

Distinct HL7 FHIR Implementation Guides may be developed in the future to document these types of profiles.

Guide Publication

This guide is published for two versions of HL7 FHIR:

• HL7 FHIR R4 Base IG (hl7.fhir.eu.base.r4). This Guide.
• HL7 FHIR R5 Base IG (hl7.fhir.eu.base.r5). Published at this link.

Package hl7.fhir.uv.extensions.r4#1.0.0 This IG defines the global extensions - the ones defined for everyone. These extensions are always in scope wherever FHIR is being used (built Sun, Mar 26, 2023 08:46+1100+11:00)

Package hl7.fhir.eu.extensions#0.1.0 This guide lists the extensions speciifed for the European REALM. (built Tue, Feb 20, 2024 08:56+0100+01:00)

Cross Version Analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (hl7.fhir.eu.base.r4.r4) and R4B (hl7.fhir.eu.base.r4.r4b) are available.

Global Profiles

There are no Global profiles defined
