### Project Description and Scope

This Implementation Guide (IG) supports the Advance Care Planning (ACP) information standard (Dutch: informatiestandaard Proactieve Zorgplanning) and is intended for use within the palliative care domain in the Netherlands. This domain involves care for patients with an incurable illness or condition from which they are expected to die.

Developed by the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (Dutch: Integraal Kankercentrum Nederland (IKNL)), this guide provides technical direction for using FHIR to exchange ACP data. It is based on HL7 FHIR STU3 and builds on top of the Dutch STU3 zib2017 profiles.

This guide assumes that readers are familiar with the functional specifications of ACP and the STU3 version of FHIR.
