EHDSS Service Request Model: Publication of Mapping Specifications Based on FHIR

Details

This document is a technical specification concerning the service request model provided by the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Specifically, it is published as the 'EHDSS Logical Information Models v0.3.0,' which is based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) v5.0.0. The specification focuses on the `EHDSServiceRequest` logical model, detailing its structure (including elements like header, subject, identifier, author, etc.) and how it maps to other related FHIR structures. This version is a draft as of February 6, 2026, noting that the current superseding version is 1.0.0. Such technical specifications are crucial for achieving standardized data exchange across different healthcare systems and services. They are particularly vital in large-scale data linkage platforms like EHDS, where defining how service requests must be structured and what elements they must contain is essential. The release of this document provides guidelines for participating healthcare institutions and system developers to exchange prerequisite data through a unified interface.
