International Patient Summary: examples, tooling and exchange
summary
International Patient Summary (IPS) is a FHIR R4 document built on the Composition resource and adopted by the G7/GDHP as a minimal cross‑border summary requiring allergies, problems and medications while allowing optional sections like immunizations and observations. Implementation uses ISO 27269, SNOMED and IHE exchange profiles; validation runs on the Inferno validation tool and a web viewer adapted from Argentina displays human‑readable and machine parts; a public repo hosts two dozen IPS samples. Patient‑mediated exchange and national tests in Canada, UK and New Zealand are already working.
