International Patient Summary
summary
The International Patient Summary (IPS) offers a minimal, non‑exhaustive clinical extract for unscheduled cross‑border care and is available as a CDA IG (CDA published Sep 2018) with a FHIR R4 implementation guide moving through ballots (FHIR R4 IG in ballot). Work produces a SNOMED free subset (initially ~8,000 concepts, later folded into a ~43,000‑concept global set), an IPS Immunization FHIR profile, and reusable FHIR fragments; an Argentina IPS viewer and European MODEX disaster exercise demonstrate practical exchange and successful prototype use.
