This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.
CapabilityStatement describes supported capabilities. In this guide it is a non-normative example; implementations publish their own description of actual support.
| Municipal FHIR minimum CapabilityStatement |
Non-normative example of minimum search and read capabilities for a municipal FHIR server following this IG (v0.3.0). Implementations SHOULD publish their own CapabilityStatement reflecting actual support. |
These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| no-kommune-CarePlan |
Municipal plan profile for follow-up, goals, interventions and planned activity in health and care services. The profile is used when a system needs to share a plan that shows what the municipality follows up, which goals or interventions are relevant, and which activities are planned or completed. The plan can point to requests, planned appointments, completed contacts, observations, supporting documents, goals and responsible team. |
| no-kommune-Encounter |
Municipal contact profile for an actual completed contact, assessment, meeting, visit or stay in municipal health and care services. The profile is used when a system needs to share that a municipal contact has taken place, and provides a shared minimum for patient, timing, contact form, responsible unit, participants and location. The contact can be linked to a municipal episode through |
| no-kommune-EpisodeOfCare |
Municipal episode profile for collecting follow-up over time when the municipality has a responsibility, service context or coordinated follow-up process. The profile is used as shared context for requests, plans and completed contacts that belong to the same municipal follow-up. It provides a shared minimum for patient, status, period, responsible organization, relevant requests and optionally team or care manager. |
| no-kommune-ServiceRequest |
Municipal request profile for a referral, assignment or order that should be followed up by a municipal health and care service. The profile is used when a system needs to share what the municipality should do or follow up for a patient, for example home nursing, practical assistance, rehabilitation or digital follow-up. It provides a shared minimum for requested service, patient, requester, requested performer, timing/period and relevant basis. Decisions, assessments and other supporting documents can be linked to the request through |
These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| Municipal service types – illustrative examples |
Two illustrative codes from Service type in KPR municipal service allocation (code system 9151). The profiles use the value set with example binding strength; it is not a complete service catalogue. See the full code system and validity dates in FinnKode. |
These define identifier and/or code system identities used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| NorwegianOrganizationNumberNamingSystem |
Identifier system for Norwegian organization numbers from Enhetsregisteret. Used by no-basis Organization.identifier:ENH. |
