Details
The HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide for Denmark ('DK Core') has been updated to version 3.6.0, introducing the 'DK Address Type Supplement' code system. This supplement provides standardized codes for classifying address types (physical/postal), aiming to standardize how address information is handled within data structures. Specifically, it defines three values: 'postal', 'physical', and 'both'. Based on FHIR R4 and published as of March 11, 2026, this specification serves as a crucial technical foundation for handling address information in electronic health records and system integrations within Denmark. It functions as a reference to clearly identify the address type during data exchange, preventing ambiguity. This ensures accurate data linkage based on Danish-specific address structures and classifications, even in international healthcare IT environments.
