Slovak Interoperability

Slovakia's national eHealth system (eZdravie) is built on SOAP/XML interfaces developed before FHIR existed. The EHDS regulation mandates FHIR-based cross-border exchange by 2027. This track maps the gap between where Slovakia is and where it needs to be.

Content here mirrors the Phase 7–8 lab work: Slovak eHealth analysis and FHIR mapping. Articles are added as phase work is completed.
