FHIR Resource Definition: Profile Guide for Organization
Union of ror-organization and ror-organization
Summary
This document defines the structure and constraints of FHIR resources used to handle 'Organization' entities in electronic health records. It details data structures and required elements, particularly when conforming to multiple profiles (such as ROROrganization).
Details
This specification outlines how to use and constrain the 'Organization' resource based on the FHIR standard for medical information exchange. Specifically, it presents the data structure when accommodating multiple profiles (e.g., ROROrganization). The included elements cover identifiers, names, contact details (telecom), and metadata necessary for resource management, such as versionId and lastUpdated. Technically, this structure provides guidelines for consistently identifying an entity—such as a healthcare facility or related body—across multiple systems. It ensures the accurate recording of information regarding its operational status (active), type, and associated geographical/legal details. This is crucial for maintaining interoperability by accurately documenting key entities in healthcare IT.
