HL7 Europe Extensions - Downloaded Version 1.3.1 See the Directory of published versions

Scope and Content

This guide sets out a collection of HL7 Europe extensions designed for applicability within the EU realm for both HL7 FHIR R4 and R5.

This includes extensions defined for HL7 Europe implementation guides, such as:

• HL7 Europe Laboratory Report
• HL7 Europe Medication Prescription and Dispense
• HL7 Europe Hospital Discharge Report
• HL7 Europe Imaging Study Report

Purpose

This guide aims to:

• Promote reuse of FHIR artefacts across different European Implementation Guides and projects.
• Avoid duplication by complementing, rather than duplicating, existing FHIR core extensions or other widely adopted implementation guides.
• Support harmonisation across Member States to facilitate cross-border data exchange and EU-wide interoperability.
• Encourage adoption beyond Europe, contributing to globally usable solutions where appropriate.
