ContactPoint System Technical Specification Released: eHealth Infrastructure v7.0.8

Details

This page is part of the technical specification for the ContactPoint System provided by eHealth Infrastructure. The system is built upon the FHIR standard (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4 and is published as version 7.0.8. Specifically, it defines a 'CodeSystem: ContactPoint System,' which includes properties such as indicating if a concept is 'deprecated.' It also contains concrete code examples, such as the Global Location Number (EAN). This specification is crucial for standardizing data structures and terminologies (Code Systems) used in healthcare information exchange. It defines detailed rules regarding the lifecycle management of specific concepts (such as determining usability) and the use of international identifiers (like EAN). In Japanese healthcare IT, standardization of data exchange is a critical issue. Clear definitions of code systems and properties based on industry standards like FHIR provide foundational knowledge for ensuring interoperability across different vendors and regions. This specification serves as a concrete example and technical detail guide.
