Mapping the SPHN Dataset to FHIR

Abstract

Several European health data research initiatives aim to make health data FAIR for research and healthcare, and supply their national communities with coordinated data models, infrastructures, and tools. We present a first map of the Swiss Personalized Healthcare Network dataset to Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®). All concepts could be mapped using 22 FHIR resources and three datatypes. Deeper analyses will follow before creating a FHIR specification, to potentially enable data conversion and exchange between research networks.
