FHIR-Based Address Model Mapping Specification Released (HL7 Europe)

Details

This document is part of the HL7-developed Europe Base and Core FHIR Implementation Guide (IG), specifically detailing the mapping specifications for the 'Address model.' The guide is based on the FHIR R4 standard and is provided as version 0.1.0-snapshot. It contains draft information regarding the "Logical Model: EHDSAddress - Mappings," providing technical details crucial for ensuring structured handling and interoperability of address information during data exchange. This specification serves as a foundational resource for healthcare institutions and IT vendors implementing system linkages. In Japan, where standardized data formats (FHIR) are critical for electronic medical record systems and regional healthcare networks, this type of standard is vital knowledge. Developers can use these mappings to solve implementation challenges related to handling address data. Note that this snapshot version is preliminary; users should check subsequent versions (e.g., 2.0.0) for the latest or complete specifications.
