EHDS Logical Model: Specification Release for Health Professional (HealthProfessional)
Health professional model - Mappings - EHDS Logical Information Models v0.3.0 - Xt-EHR
Summary
A European data standardization project has published the specification for a logical model defining 'Health Professional' within electronic health records. This FHIR-based standard contributes to improving international healthcare data interoperability.
Details
This document provides the mapping specifications for the `EHDSHealthProfessional` logical model, part of the EHDS (European Health Data Space) standardization project. The model is built upon the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard and uses version 5.0.0 as its foundation. Specifically, it defines how attributes such as name, identifier, telecom, specialty, and related structures map to this logical model. The goal is to accurately identify 'who' in medical data and standardize their role and affiliated organization. The release of these specifications marks a significant step toward achieving interoperability for cross-border patient data exchange. This serves as an important international guideline for fields requiring advanced data linkage, such as Japan's electronic medical record systems or regional healthcare networks, enabling the consistent handling of professional information across different systems.
