This page is part of the Personal Health Device FHIR IG (v1.1.0: STU 1) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

PHG Implementation Guidance

These sections provide background on the concepts behind the technical mapping approach and how the PHD's IEEE 11073-20601 Objects, which represent the measurements and device data, are related to FHIR Observation and Device resources. The normative details of the mapping are given in the Profiles sections. Implementers who are familiar with the concepts behind the IEEE 11073-20601 Object model can skip these sections and proceed directly to the Profile Details sections. Readers who are interested in consuming the FHIR resources specified in this IG should go directly to the Profile Consumers chapter. The mapping sections require knowledge of the IEEE 11073-20601 domain and are intended for implementers of PHGs.
