Details
This page serves as a reference specification for the 'Days Of Week' CodeSystem provided by the eHealth Infrastructure, built upon FHIR standards. The CodeSystem is based on HL7 FHIR R4 and defines codes and display names (English and Danish) corresponding to all seven days of the week: Monday through Sunday. This system is designed to standardize date-related data for healthcare information exchange, as evidenced by its reference in content logical definitions of value sets. Technically, this CodeSystem holds a Normative status and a Maturity Level 5, indicating high standardization. It is provided as part of the eHealth Infrastructure package, with users advised to transition to newer versions (e.g., 9.0.1). This ensures consistent handling of day data within electronic medical records and system integrations in Denmark. Such standardized code systems are crucial in the global healthcare IT context. They demonstrate a model case for establishing data definitions that accommodate local languages (such as Danish) using global standards like FHIR, thereby enhancing interoperability across national boundaries.
