 ### Introduction
-This implementation guide is provided to support the use of FHIR<sup>&reg;&copy;</sup> in a Swiss context, realm.
+This implementation guide is provided to support the use of FHIR<sup>&reg;&copy;</sup> FHIR in Switzerland.
 
-This document is a working specification that is expected to be implemented and tested by FHIR<sup>&reg;&copy;</sup> system producers to enable feedback to improve the content of this guide. With this first Standard for Trial Use ballot version we are looking for feedback if the following goals are met:  
-- provide guidance on core resources for identifiers, code system, value sets and naming systems in a Swiss specific context, especially related to the Swiss [Electronic Patient Record](https://www.patientendossier.ch/en)
-- define extensions that are necessary for local use covering needed Swiss concepts
-- covering the requirements from [eCH-0010 postal adress](https://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0010&documentVersion=7.0) and [eCH-0011 person data](https://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0011&documentVersion=8.1)
-- define data elements from [HL7.ch CDA-CH V2.1 (2020) document standard](http://e-health-wiki.ch/index.php/Ehscda:CDA-CH_2017_(specification)) in FHIR CH-Core profiles.
-- incorporate BFS variables for medical statistic (german, french, italian) see [BFS](https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/de/home/statistiken/kataloge-datenbanken/publikationen.assetdetail.7066232.html).
+This guide is a working specification. We anticipate that it will be implemented and tested by FHIR system producers whose feedback will help improve its content. With this standard for trial use, we are looking for feedback on whether the following goals have been met: 
+- The guide provides guidance on essential resources for identifiers, code systems, value sets and naming systems in Switzerland, specifically in relation to the Swiss Electronic Patient Record ([EPR](https://www.patientendossier.ch/en)).
+- The guide defines extensions that are necessary for local use in Switzerland.
+- The guide covers the requirements for [eCH-0010 postal address](https://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0010&documentVersion=7.0) and [eCH-0011 personal data](https://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0011&documentVersion=8.1).
+- The guide defines data elements from [HL7.ch CDA-CH V2.1 (2020) document standard](http://e-health-wiki.ch/index.php/Ehscda:CDA-CH_2017_(specification)) document standard in FHIR CH Core profiles.
+- The guide incorporates Federal Statistics Office (BFS) variables for medical statistics. See [BFS](https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/de/home/statistiken/kataloge-datenbanken/publikationen.assetdetail.7066232.html) (available in German, French, and Italian).

 ### Relation to the Swiss EPR
 
-The Annexes in the Swiss [Electronic Patient Record](https://www.patientendossier.ch/en) specify the technical and semantical requirements.
+The Annexes to the Swiss [Electronic Patient Record](https://www.patientendossier.ch/en) (EPR) law specify the technical and semantic requirements for interoperability.
 
 #### Metadata (Annex 3 and Annex 9)
 
- In Annex 3 and 9 metadata in the context of the EPR is defined. The metadata in these Annexes is defined by the [Ministry of Health](https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/de/home/gesetze-und-bewilligungen/gesetzgebung/gesetzgebung-mensch-gesundheit/gesetzgebung-elektronisches-patientendossier.html), [eHealth Suisse](https://www.e-health-suisse.ch/startseite.html) maintains the ValueSets with additional provided translations in ART-DECOR in the [ch-epr](https://art-decor.org/art-decor/decor-project--ch-epr-) project. All CodeSystems and ValueSets from this project are exported to the [CH-EPR-TERM](http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-epr-term/index.html) FHIR implementation guide. This implementation guide is dependent on CH-EPR-TERM.
+Metadata relating to the Swiss EPR is defined in Annexes 3 and 9 by the [Ministry of Health](https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/de/home/gesetze-und-bewilligungen/gesetzgebung/gesetzgebung-mensch-gesundheit/gesetzgebung-elektronisches-patientendossier.html). [eHealth Suisse](https://www.e-health-suisse.ch/startseite.html) maintains the value sets with additional provided translations in ART-DECOR in the [ch-epr](https://art-decor.org/art-decor/decor-project--ch-epr-) project. All code systems and value sets from the CH-EPR project are exported to the FHIR implementation guide, [CH EPR Term](http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-epr-term/index.html), which forms the basis for CH Core.
 
 #### Exchange formats (Annex 4)
 
-In Annex 4 exchange formats will be listed. There are currently three CDA specifications exchange formats defined in the draft of Annex 4. Those three CDA specifications are based on CDA-CH V2. With FHIR, exchange formats in documents can also be defined. CH-Core defines the equivalent concepts to CDA-CH V2 so that in the future derived exchange formats can be represented and mapped between FHIR and CDA:
-- [CH Core Document Profile EPR](StructureDefinition-ch-core-document.html) is the base definition for a document in the context of the electronic patient record (EPR) and can correspond to a [CDA-CH derived document](https://art-decor.org/art-decor/decor-project--hl7chcda-).
-- [CH Core Composition Profile EPR](StructureDefinition-ch-core-composition-epr.html) is the base definition for a composition and can corresponds to the [CDA-CH v2.1 - structuredBody](https://art-decor.org/art-decor/decor-templates--hl7chcda-?section=templates&id=2.16.756.5.30.1.1.10.1.9&effectiveDate=2019-10-17T15:22:41&language=en-US) template.

+- [CH Core Document Profile EPR](StructureDefinition-ch-core-document.html): the base definition for a structured document in the Swiss EPR; it corresponds to a [CDA-CH derived document](https://art-decor.org/art-decor/decor-project--hl7chcda-).
+- [CH Core Composition Profile EPR](StructureDefinition-ch-core-composition-epr.html): the base definition for a composition; it corresponds to the [CDA-CH v2.1 - structuredBody](https://art-decor.org/art-decor/decor-templates--hl7chcda-?section=templates&id=2.16.756.5.30.1.1.10.1.9&effectiveDate=2019-10-17T15:22:41&language=en-US) template.
 
 #### XDS (Annex 5, Amendment 1)
 
-Annex 5 has requirements on IHE XDS. The [CH Core DocumentReference Profile EPR](StructureDefinition-ch-core-documentreference-epr.html) defines a mapping to the XDS Metadata used in the EPR.
-Please note that the IHE MHD profile which includes the DocumentReference resource is not yet specified in the Annexes.
+Requirements for IHE XDS are given in Annex 5. The [CH Core DocumentReference Profile EPR](StructureDefinition-ch-core-documentreference-epr.html) defines how metadata used in the EPR is to be mapped to XDS Metadata. Please note that the IHE MHD profile, which includes the document reference resource, is not yet specified in the Annexes, a draft implementation guide is [CH EPR mHealth](http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-epr-mhealth/index.html)
 
 #### CH:ATC Profile (Annex 5, Amendment 2.2)
 
-CH:ATC profile defines the audit trail consumption requirements a community has to provide for a patient’s audit trail. CH:ATC is also a FHIR implementation guide, based on FHIR STU3. There is no relation to this implementation guide currently.
-
+The CH ATC profile defines the requirements for a patient’s audit trail. [CH ATC](http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-atc/index.html) is a FHIR implementation guide based on FHIR STU3 and R4. There is currently no relationship between CH ATC and CH Core.

+### Safety considerations
+This implementation guide defines data elements, resources, formats, and methods for exchanging healthcare data between different participants in the healthcare process. As such, clinical safety is a key concern. Additional guidance regarding safety for the specification’s many and various implementations is available at: [https://www.hl7.org/FHIR/safety.html](https://www.hl7.org/FHIR/safety.html).
+
+Although the present specification does gives users the opportunity to observe data protection and data security regulations, its use does not guarantee compliance with these regulations. Effective compliance must be ensured by appropriate measures during implementation projects and in daily operations. The corresponding implementation measures are explained in the standard. 
+In addition, the present specification can only influence compliance with the security regulations in the technical area of standardisation. It cannot influence organisational and contractual matters.
