EHDSLocation to FHIR Location Mapping

EHDSLocation → LocationEuCore
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.

EHDSLocation → LocationEuCore

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

Mapping Context

LocationEuCore represents physical service delivery sites and care locations.
