HL7 Europe Base and Core FHIR IG
2.0.0-ballot - ballot 150

This page is part of the HL7 Europe Base and Core (v2.0.0-ballot: Release Ballot) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This version is a pre-release. The current official version is 0.1.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

EHDSBodyStructure to FHIR BodyStructure Mapping

EHDSBodyStructure → BodyStructureEuCore
Ongoing alignment: The Xt-EHR logical models are under active revision and continuous refinement. Updates from Xt-EHR will be progressively incorporated into this Implementation Guide to maintain alignment with the evolving EHDS specifications.
Yellow row/cells: In this ballot publication, some row/cells of the mapping table have been left in yellow to indicate areas requiring further review or refinement; including feedback from the Xt-EHR joint action (see note above). These highlights will be addressed in subsequent updates to ensure accuracy and completeness of the mappings.

EHDSBodyStructure → BodyStructureEuCore

This page explains how conceptual elements from the EHDS logical model are expressed in the corresponding FHIR BodyStructureEuCore profile used by this Implementation Guide.
