Package hl7.fhir.uv.extensions.r4#5.2.0

This IG defines the global extensions - the ones defined for everyone. These extensions are always in scope wherever FHIR is being used (built Mon, Feb 10, 2025 21:45+1100+11:00)

Package hl7.fhir.uv.ipa#1.1.0

This IG describes how an application acting on behalf of a patient can access information about the patient from an clinical records system using a FHIR based API. The clinical records system may be supporting a clinical care provider (e.g. a hospital, or a general practitioner), or a health data exchange, including a national health record system. (built Wed, Mar 19, 2025 14:34+0000+00:00)

Package hl7.fhir.uv.xver-r5.r4#0.0.1-snapshot-2

The cross-version extensions available in FHIR R4 from FHIR R5 (built Sat, Sep 13, 2025 16:55-0400-04:00)

Package hl7.fhir.eu.extensions.r4#1.2.0

This guide lists the extensions specified for the European REALM. (built Fri, Dec 19, 2025 11:52+0100+01:00)

Package ihe.pharm.mpd.r4#1.0.0-comment-2

ImplementationGuide for IHE Pharmacy Medication Prescription and Dispense (MPD) profile (built Tue, May 27, 2025 16:32+0200+02:00)

Package hl7.fhir.eu.base#2.0.0-ballot

This guide collects base and core profiles to be used in the European context. It also includes common artifacts, such as the profiles describing the European Health Insurance Card. (built Fri, Dec 19, 2025 18:28+0100+01:00)

Package ihe.iti.pdqm#3.2.0

The Patient Demographics Query for Mobile (PDQm) Profile defines a lightweight RESTful interface to a patient demographics supplier leveraging technologies readily available to mobile applications and lightweight browser based applications. (built Tue, Nov 4, 2025 12:07-0600-06:00)

Package ihe.iti.balp#1.1.4

The Basic Audit Log Patterns (BALP) Implementation Guide is a Content Profile that defines some basic and reusable AuditEvent patterns. This includes basic audit log profiles for FHIR RESTful operations to be used when there is not a more specific audit event defined. A focus is enabling Privacy centric AuditEvent logs that hold well formed indication of the Patient when they are the subject of the activity being recorded in the log. Where a more specific audit event can be defined it should be derived off of these basic patterns. (built Fri, Oct 31, 2025 12:53-0500-05:00)

Package ihe.iti.mhd#4.2.3

ImplementationGuide for IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework Supplement Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) (built Fri, Oct 31, 2025 14:32-0500-05:00)

Package hl7.fhir.uv.tools.r4#0.9.0

This IG defines the extensions that the tools use internally. Some of these extensions are content that are being evaluated for elevation into the main spec, and others are tooling concerns (built Tue, Dec 16, 2025 23:18+1100+11:00)

Required sections

Cross-Version Analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (hl7.fhir.eu.health-data-api.r4) and R4B (hl7.fhir.eu.health-data-api.r4b) are available.

Global Profiles

There are no Global profiles defined
