ehealth-servicerequest Resource Mappings Specification

Details

This page is a technical specification detailing the mapping rules for the `ehealth-servicerequest` resource profile in version 2.10.0 of the eHealth Infrastructure. This resource aims to structure information related to medical service requests (such as clinical orders). A key feature of this document is the comprehensive mapping provided, showing how FHIR elements correspond not only to each other but also to multiple legacy and industry standards. Specifically, it maps fields to segments in HL7 v2 (e.g., ORC, PID), entities in HL7 v3's RIM model (e.g., Act, Participation), and patterns like FiveWs and QUICK. This detailed mapping definition is crucial for Japanese healthcare IT development, as it provides a technical blueprint for integrating modern FHIR-based systems with existing legacy infrastructure (like those using HL7 v2). Developers can use this specification to build comprehensive and accurate data exchange interfaces, ensuring interoperability across different generations of medical information systems.
