For the Italian guide I'd like to start working on the representation of the EHIC. (but I'm not in a hurry :-) )
The example reported in the fhir core specs doesn't seem to fit with the information present in the real EU Card

is there any existing example I could refer to ? Could it be something that we can agree at the EU level ? i.e. an EU coverage profile for the EHIC ?

My plan is to work either on a logical model for the EHIC and on the corresponding Coverage profile.

Some work is being done on ID, related to eIDAS. e.g. the health-eid project. To my knowledge not so much related to Coverage and EHIC. Not sure if there is a use case for a European coverage profile. In the German Coverage profile I do not see EHIC data included: https://simplifier.net/basisprofil-de-r4/coveragedegkv

I don't see either a use case for a European coverage profile :-)
But since the content of the EHIC is common for 31 countries (https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=653&langId=en) and it is a typical information captured for foreign citizens covered by EU health Insurance .

I was wondering if we could share a common representation of these data, maybe simply starting with the list of the OIDs/Urls used to describe the identification system of the "Personal Identification Number" used for the EHIC field #6.

For example the personal identification number used in the Italian EHIC is the Fiscal Code having
OID: 2.16.840.1.113883.2.9.4.3.2
URL: http://hl7.it/sid/codiceFiscale

but no idea which url an Italian hospital should used when it treats a German; a Belgian or a Danish citizen.
