## EHDSHumanName to FHIR HumanName Mapping

EHDSHumanName → HumanName
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.

### EHDSHumanName → HumanName

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

Mapping Context

- Source logical model: EHDSHumanName
- Target FHIR datatype: HumanName

EHDSHumanName → HumanName
EHDSHumanName (Logical Model) | Relationship | HumanName
--- | --- | ---
Element | Description | Relation | Datatype | Element | Description | Notes
use | Intended use of the name (official, alias, etc.). | equivalent | HumanName | use | Name use code. | e.g. official, usual, nickname.
text | Full name as rendered for display. | equivalent | HumanName | text | Text representation of the full name. | Typically a single string.
family | Family name / surname. | equivalent | HumanName | family | Family name (often called "surname"). |
given | Given (first / middle) names. | equivalent | HumanName | given | Given names (may include middle names). | Array in FHIR.
prefix | Honorifics or titles preceding the name. | equivalent | HumanName | prefix | Parts that come before the name. | e.g. Dr, Prof, Sir.
suffix | Post-nominal letters, generational markers, etc. | equivalent | HumanName | suffix | Parts that come after the name. | e.g. Jr, MD, PhD.
