Smart4Health Implementation Guide (IG)

This implementation guide covers the use cases that form part of the Smart4Health project.

Note that the web-based IG always represents the current build and may thus differ from the version that is deployed on running systems. Stable, versioned snapshots of the artifacts in this IG are provided by the released FHIR packages from the project.

The associated FHIR artifacts were developed by the Smart4Health consortium with the following contributing partners:

The research leading to these results has received funding from the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission under Grant Agreement No. 826117.
