Hi Marc,
I haven't come across any tooling that directly converts FHIR profiles into entity relationship diagrams. I think most folks have stayed away from ERDs in FHIR because the use of references (which can point to many different types of FHIR resources) can make them a bit unwieldy to view & produce in this fashion.
But I did put the question out to the IPS community to see if any similar assets have been developed for IPS, and will keep you apprised if we hear back from anyone.

Thanks Attila.
So does anyone out there have a diagram for the IPS-UV model? I would just like to see some boxes connected with fancy lines, I find that easier to consume than the tree structure. I'm a little surprised there's no tooling around to convert the tree structure to an entity relationship diagram (or is there?).
Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,
The project did start with building a common data model for the Patient Summary (MDS). If you remember an earlier post we published an interim version of this for public review. This work was trying to build a model close to an ERD based on the CA-Baseline. While the CA-Baseline was also trying to align to the IPS data set, there was sufficient divergence from it to not be the most effective way towards adoption of the IPS standard. You may also remember that we took the matter to the Coordinating table for recommendation. The question in need of a resolution at the time was whether or not we should build the PS-CA data model from scratch using an MDS approach or start from the IPS-UV data set and assess it for Canadian alignment. The recommended path was to follow the latter, hence the ERD for the PS-CA is implicitly the IPS-UV data model. We do not have any additional data browser support aside from the profiles posted in the Simplifier project. Hope this helps.

Is there a conceptual or logical data model available? Looking for an ERD, or something similar to what is seen in HL7 Explorer here...
Thanks,
Marc
