European Imaging Report FHIR Specification Released for Digital Health Interoperability
Imaging Report FHIR IG - EURIDICE EURIDICE - European Interoperability
Euridice developed an Implementation Guide for the Imaging Report using FHIR standards.
Summary
HL7 has released a new specification detailing imaging reports for digital health solutions in Europe. This guide defines the structure and content of imaging studies and reports using a FHIR model, ensuring compatibility across various data exchange environments.
Key Players
Details
This implementation guide (IG) specifies imaging study data within the European context, drawing from models like eHN Imaging Studies and Reports and Xt-EHR Imaging Logical Model. It defines not only the structure and contents of FHIR imaging studies and reports but also options for publishing, searching, and discovering mechanisms to access this data. The specification is designed to accommodate multiple existing approaches used in Europe for information exchange. These include document-based exchange (represented as a FHIR Document Bundle), REST API access to documents (including Composition and Diagnostic Reports), and advanced resource-based access where key resources (Patient, Organization) are harmonized across all linked documents. It is intended for diverse deployment models—from within single healthcare organizations to cross-border information exchange—emphasizing compatibility with the existing ecosystem. The availability of multiple version links (R5, R4) and build URLs confirms its function as a comprehensive technical reference for developers.
