The HL7 Europe FHIR Base and Core IG: what it is, why it was developed, and how it supports the EHDS
A new HL7 Europe webinar for Tuesday, 27 January 2026, 16.00-17.00 CET
The HL7 Europe FHIR Base and Core IG is a foundational set of FHIR profiles that provide a consistent framework for healthcare data exchange across Europe, supporting the European Health Data Space (EHDS) by defining reusable ‘Base’ (flexible) and ‘Core’ (more constrained) profiles for common elements, ensuring interoperability while aligning with international standards like the International Patient Summary. The version 2.0.0 has been developed with the support of the Xt-EHR Joint Action, which provided expertise and alignment with European health policy priorities, and is currently out for ballot in the HL7 Europe community. In this webinar, HL7 Europe and Xt-EHR speakers will report on what’s new in version 2.0.0, explain how this aligns with Xt-EHR, and what will be the next steps.
Join this webinar, the newest installment in our series on the FHIR IG ecosystem for the EHDS, to learn more about the interplay of international standards and the forthcoming specifications for the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EHRxF) which the Commission will publish in March 2027. Speakers will include:
- Giorgio Cangioli, HL7 Europe (EU)
- Daniel Karlsson, eHealth Agency (SE)
- Hynek Kružík, Ministry of Health (CZ)
- Rutt Lindström, TEHIK (EE)
The webinar will be facilitated by Michael Strübin from HL7 Europe.
