Artifacts Summary

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.

Active Surveillance

Logical model representing an active surveillance strategy in which the patient is monitored over time without active treatment, prior to disease progression. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet ActiveSurveillance).

Cancer Patient

Logical model describing the patient affected by cancer, acting as the central subject for diagnosis, treatments, disease evolution and follow-up. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet CancerPatient).

CancerConditionAtDiagnosis

Logical model representing the cancer condition at first diagnosis, capturing initial tumour characteristics and the diagnostic context that initiates the cancer journey. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet CancerConditionAtDiagnosis).

CancerStage

Logical model representing the cancer stage at the time of first diagnosis. The stage may be clinical or pathological: the clinical stage is derived from imaging evidence, while the pathological stage, when available, is derived from surgical evidence. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet CancerStage).

ClinicalCancerProgression

Logical model representing the longitudinal evolution of the cancer disease, documenting disease status and extent at a specific point in time. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet ClinicalCancerProgression).

Imaging

Logical model representing a diagnostic imaging procedure performed to define the diagnosis and the clinical stage. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet Imaging).

LastFollowUp

Logical model representing the assessment of the patient’s status at a specific follow-up visit, including vital status and evidence of disease. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet LastFollowUp).

OverallCancerTreatmentResponse

Logical model representing the overall assessment of the cancer’s response to one or more treatment episodes at a specific time point. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet OverallCancerTreatmentResponse).

Radiotherapy

Logical model representing a radiotherapy treatment course administered to the patient, including intent, timing, and anatomical target. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet Radiotherapy).

Surgery

Logical model representing a surgical treatment episode delivered to the patient for cancer management. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet Surgery).

SystemicTreatment

Logical model representing a systemic anti-cancer treatment episode delivered to the patient, either at diagnosis or following disease progression. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet SystemicTreatment).

Structures: Resource Profiles

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

Observation: Comorbidities

This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent Comorbidities for the purpose of the ECCDM. This profiles is adapted from the mCode FHIR Implementation Guide

Patient (CCM)

This profile defines how to represent Patient in FHIR for the purpose of the ECCDM.

Example: Example Instances

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