## 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.

Mapping Context

- Source logical model: EHDSBodyStructure
- Target FHIR profile: BodyStructureEuCore

EHDSBodyStructure → BodyStructureEuCore
EHDSBodyStructure (Logical Model) | Relationship | BodyStructureEuCore

Element | Description | Relation | Resource | Element | Description | Notes
morphology | Kind of structure represented (normal/abnormal morphology). | equivalent | BodyStructure | morphology | Kind of structure. |
location | Body site. | equivalent | BodyStructure | location 〔R4〕 | Body site. | R4 commonly uses location; R5 often uses includedStructure.structure.
