Switzerland on FHIR: learning and success
summary
Switzerland defines CH Core profiles and has produced multiple country-specific FHIR IGs—most have passed two ballots—covering medication, vaccinations, allergies and orders; CDA↔FHIR transformations use the FHIR Mapping Language and six medication document types; order/referral uses Questionnaire/QuestionnaireResponse rendered with Open Tools Matchbox and transforms into EPR‑compliant bundles; mobile integration extends IHE Mobile profiles (CHEPR M Health) and adds a PPQM privacy query; annual EPR Projectathon testing proves the specs work and drives iterative fixes and wider adoption.
