German Practice Management FHIR Profiles

This FHIR R4 Implementation Guide defines vendor-neutral profiles, extensions, terminology declarations, and examples for ambulatory practice management in Germany.

Scope

Domain Contract
Medical billing composition Medical evidence and workflow constraints over the German Billing IG
Practice operations Encounters, appointments, queue state, locations, roles, and service offerings
Clinical workflows Laboratory, imaging, referral, order, medication, immunization, and care-coordination resources
Administration Practice operations, clinical authorization children, consent, and communication
Provenance Bounded compatibility with the HL7 AI Transparency lineage model

The IG defines exchange structures and bindings. It does not publish customer, product, adapter, contract-catalog, or runtime configuration data.

Generic Account, Coverage, ChargeItem, Claim, prior-authorization, Contract, Invoice, tax, receivable, budget, remuneration, and remittance contracts are owned by the German Billing IG. Praxis profiles may derive from those contracts only to add medical evidence or medical workflow constraints. See the Praxis-to-Billing Migration for predecessor handling.

Selective-contract boundary

HZV and other selective-contract catalogs are reference-only terminology. The public package does not enumerate their codes or displays. Implementations carry the applicable contract through Coverage, Contract, and the billing-case context, and use the issuer's coding system for contract-specific services.

An EBM code is used only for a service billed in an EBM context. A mapping between EBM and a contract catalog is a translation aid, not a pricing source.

Artifact navigation

Use the generated Artifact Index for the complete list of profiles, extensions, CodeSystems, ValueSets, NamingSystems, and examples. The guidance pages in this IG define the current usage contract for selected cross-cutting topics.

Cross-version analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (de.cognovis.fhir.praxis.r4) and R4B (de.cognovis.fhir.praxis.r4b) are available.

Global profiles

There are no Global profiles defined
