EHR Extract Information Model STABLE

Model for packaging and exchanging structured subsets of an EHR between systems, supporting query-driven extraction, synchronisation-based transfer, and discharge summary scenarios. The model supports both full and partial extracts, including the ability to filter by care episode, date range, archetype, or composition type. It is used in discharge summary exchange, patient summary transfer, and cross-institutional record sharing scenarios.
