ePI on HL7 FHIR

The HL7 standard that turns the paper package leaflet into structured, interoperable healthcare data — the format regulators are converging on for ePI.

What it is

Electronic product information (ePI) replaces the folded paper leaflet with authoritative digital product information. HL7 FHIR gives it a structured clinical format, so the leaflet becomes data that health systems, apps, and regulators can consume — not a PDF.

EMA and FDA pilots have both converged on FHIR-based ePI, with GS1 identifiers connecting the regulated document to the physical pack.

Why it matters

The leaflet becomes queryable

Structured ePI means a clinical system can surface the warnings section, in the patient's language, for the exact batch dispensed — impossible with paper or PDF.

Update at the speed of safety

Label changes reach patients when the regulator approves them, not when old stock exhausts. That is the core patient-safety argument for ePI.

Accessibility by default

Screen readers, larger type, and 29 languages from the same source document — paper can't do that.
