Introduction

This is the implementation guide for the e-card Profile based on HL7® FHIR® R4.

ECARD FHIR Profile is an FHIR representation of an Austrian social insurance plan. It is built on top of the Austrian Core Profile as it derivation.

ECARD Profile is hosted on the (TBD). The most recent version of this implementation guide can be found at the (TBD).

Core Profile is hosted on the HL7® Austria github project. The most recent version of this implementation guide can be found at the HL7® Austria FHIR® Website.

This implementation guide is provided to support the use of FHIR® in the e-card services in Austria.

This guide is a working specification. We anticipate that it will be implemented and tested by FHIR® system producers whose feedback will help improve its content. With this IG for trial use, we are looking for feedback on whether the following goals have been met:

  • The guide provides guidance on the e-card VDAS Proof of Concept including the e-card Profile on HL7 FHIR Coverage.
    • Along with the Coverage profile the Proof of Concept uses the HL7 Austrian Patient - a profile on the patient resource from the core Profile.
  • This guide provides a set of sample Code Systems and ValueSets based on FSH files.

Proof of Concept: VDAS on FHIR

This implementation guide should support healthcare software providers to try out the e-card service VDAS (Versicherungsdatenabfrageservice) with the use of FHIR. We used the Austrian patient from the AT Core Patient Profile, created a profile on Coverage and defined ValueSets and CodeSystems accordingly. Please note that there will be a mixure of German and English vocabulary due to the fact, that HL7 FHIR uses English terms and the e-card system uses mainly German terms.
