Details
This article details part of the technical specification for 'appointment01'—an appointment record—within Denmark's eHealth Infrastructure. The specification was developed using the HL7 FHIR standard and is presented in version 3.5.0. The provided example illustrates how detailed clinical information, such as the responsible organization ('CareTeam Aarhus'), participants (e.g., 'Tove Jensen'), and appointment details (like status or type of visit), are structured. This structure aims to standardize the exchange of appointment data, thereby enhancing interoperability between different healthcare systems. By utilizing FHIR, it becomes possible for systems from various vendors to exchange information using a common data format. This knowledge is highly relevant to improving interoperability in Japanese healthcare IT.
