# Home - MII Implementation Guide Core Dataset Base v2026.0.1

## Home

### Introduction

This implementation guide describes the FHIR representation of the core dataset (CDS) base modules of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII). The specification covers the modules Person, Treatment Case, Diagnosis and Procedure. The MII core dataset aims to enable secondary use of routine clinical data in research.

#### Target Audience

This implementation guide is intended for:

##### Implementers

Implementers responsible for data management and integration in Data Integration Centers (DIC), software developers and system architects implementing FHIR-based solutions

* → See [Logical Models](logical-models.md) for conceptual data models
* → See [UML Diagrams](uml-diagrams.md) for visual representations
* → See [FHIR Artifacts](artifacts.md) for technical specifications

##### Researchers

Scientists using MII data for medical research

* → See [Researcher Guidance](researcher-guidance.md) for guidance, descriptions and sample data for analysis
* → See [Logical Models](logical-models.md) for data structure overviews

### Background

MII Core Dataset Modules

#### Module Overview

**Person Module**

The module includes:

* Patient identifiers and demographic information ([Patient](StructureDefinition-mii-pr-person-patient.md))
* Pseudonymized patient representations for research ([Patient Pseudonymized](StructureDefinition-mii-pr-person-patient-pseudonymisiert.md))
* Vital status ([Vital Status Observation](StructureDefinition-mii-pr-person-vitalstatus.md))
* Cause of death ([Cause of Death Condition](StructureDefinition-mii-pr-person-todesursache.md))

**Treatment Case Module**

The module includes:

* Representation of encounters (stays and visits) between patients and healthcare facilities ([Encounter](StructureDefinition-mii-pr-fall-kontakt-gesundheitseinrichtung.md))

**Diagnosis Module**

The module includes:

* Diagnoses and disease-related information ([Condition](StructureDefinition-mii-pr-diagnose-condition.md))

**Procedure Module**

The module includes:

* Documentation of operations, interventions, and other medical procedures ([Procedure](StructureDefinition-mii-pr-prozedur-procedure.md))
