Swedish FHIR group


1.0 Introduction

​This ImplementationGuide is published by a collaborative group of Swedish stakeholders of healthcare IT systems. It includes implementation profiles, extensions and value sets created by the group. It also includes core profiles, value sets and extensions which have not been published by this group but are used in one way or another in the implementation profiles. One example is the Swedish base profiles which have been derived to implementation profiles published in this ImplementationGuide.

1.1 What we want to achieve

The goal of the joint collaboration is to unite the sector around implementations of FHIR profiles for Swedish healthcare. It should be able to contribute to an implementation that provides many integration possibilities/"plug and play". It should create cost efficiency for the industrial players who choose to implement these profiles. Of course with the basic aim of being able to deliver benefits to the business faster and more easily. That benefit is expected to be achieved through better integrations that provide less duplication of work, better information transfer, etc.
