The Swiss FHIR - Interoperability Challenges
summary
Swiss ePR uses FHIR core profiles plus domain exchange formats and a terminology guide; CH E-Talk is a Formulary-based exchange built on SDC and reuses IPS library elements but requires Questionnaire/QuestionnaireResponse and ServiceRequest and still needs a PDF option for EPR use. An evaluation finds CH E-Talk is not a base IPS implementation due to extra elements and profile differences (notably medication cardinality and national code sets). Recommended path: align IPS requirements into ch-core, publish a Swiss IPS implementation guide, then update CH E-Talk.
