Extensions

The primary way to adapt the FHIR specification to specific requirements of a jurisdiction is through extensions.

This list includes the FI Base extensions as well as other known extesions used in Finland. We hope listing extensions here will promote their use and thereby increase interoperability.

Please note that there is no guarantee that the extensions from other sources are kept in sync with the source implementation guides. For up-to-date information, please refer to the original definitions (which can be read from the Official URL part of the page describing the extension, or from the url field of the relevant StructureDefinition resouce). For Kanta PHR extensions (with URLs starting http://phr.kanta.fi) see the Finnish PHR implementation guide.
