Details
This document is an FHIR implementation guide created based on the data exchange specifications set by the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) in India. Specifically, it defines structured data using the Patient resource as an example, including name, age, gender, contact details, and identifiers such as 'Medical record number' (MR). Technically, it is described using the HL7 FHIR standard in Turtle format, with the `fhir:Patient` resource being central. This guide is built upon NDHM's data exchange specification 1.0 and provides concrete implementation guidelines for ensuring interoperability between healthcare information systems. Its significance for Japanese healthcare IT lies in that defining and exchanging structured data using FHIR standards is crucial. Cases like this, which track specifications of a specific national mission (NDHM), demonstrate international best practices for healthcare data linkage and provide valuable insights for system development and guideline formulation within Japan.
