Extensibility using SAP Health Data Services for FHIR
SAP Health Data ServicesによるFHIR拡張性：データ構造の柔軟な対応
Summary
SAP explains how to add business-specific extensibility to FHIR resources using Health Data Services. This enables the capture of data beyond standard fields and ensures data consistency through profiling.
Details
This article provides technical insights into extending data structures within FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) using SAP Health Data Services. Specifically, three mechanisms are detailed: First, 'Extensions' allow adding specific data elements to existing FHIR resources, capturing information beyond standard fields. Second, 'Profiling' is used to define mandatory elements, data types, and value sets, thereby maintaining data integrity. Third, it supports the creation and management of entirely new custom FHIR resources when standard ones are insufficient. These extensibility mechanisms empower adaptation of FHIR to unique business workflows and regulatory requirements, achieving both data consistency and flexibility. This technology is crucial for realizing interoperability in the healthcare sector.
