NHS North West Genomics - Local Development build (v2.0.0) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Health Data API (HIE/EURDICE)

Follow API Contracts from EURIDICE EU Health Data API and Data Contracts from EHDS in particular:

1. HL7 Europe Base and Core FHIR IG
2. HL7 Europe Laboratory Report

This specification adds England-specific data modeling from NHS England Canonical Data Model (NHS Futures - Canonical Data Model (CDM)). This specification also conforms to HL7 UK Core.

Process flows and background information are the same as EU Health Data API and so are not repeated here.
