Introduction
This implementation guide is published by the Swedish eHealth Agency and constitutes the integration specification for Swedish medical record indexing and endpoint registration using the HL7® FHIR® standard. The APIs described in this guide ensure that all participating systems exchange medical record index and endpoint information in a predictable and interoperable way.
Scope and Usage
The artifacts and transactions in this guide have been designed to meet two use cases - index medical records and administer the usage of service endpoints. Furthermore this guide defines the possibility of combining these two functionalities to enable querying endpoints where medical records can be found. These use cases are categorized in interoperability domains that are made up of system actors and the transactions between them. The interoperability domains are introduced in the sub sections below.
Medical record indexing (MeRI)
See medical record indexing actor descriptions.
Endpoint registry (ER)
See endpoint registry actor descriptions.
Medical record locating (MRL)
See medical record locating actor descriptions.
Background and Context
This guide is a part of the Swedish national digital infrastructure. The Swedish eHealth Agency develop the services PDI (Patientdataindex) and NTK (Nationell tjänsteadresseringskatalog) which implement parts of this guide. Read more about the services here.
Boundaries and Relationships
The profile on Organization reuses and builds on the R4 Swedish base profiles from HL7 Sweden in order to ensure uniform profiling and terminology for common Swedish concepts. Note that the profiles in this guide do not technically inherit from the base profiles since they use the R4 version of FHIR® and the Swedish national digital infrastructure is required to use R5.
