Details

This guideline is intended for developers of health ICT systems and infrastructures. It provides guidance on the combined use of HL7 FHIR with three ISO standards: ISO 13940:2015, ISO 13606-1:2019, and ISO 13606-3:2019. Specifically, it defines mutual mappings between these standards. It proposes the content of an FHIR profile corresponding to the ISO 13606-1:2019 “COMPOSITION” class. Furthermore, it offers guidance and worked examples for mapping ISO 13606-3 Reference Archetypes to ISO 13940 and FHIR. The document also advises developers on potential mapping issues, such as the extent to which a source concept is broader or narrower than its best fit target concept, and highlights differences in representation capability among the standards. This serves as a technical guideline for enhancing international healthcare data interoperability.
