AU Base HealthcareService [FMM Level 3]
This profile defines a healthcare service administration details structure that includes core localisation concepts for use in an Australian context.
These definitions represent common data held in the HealthcareService.identifier element:
NOTE: AU Base on STU3 included two extensions Healthcare Service Eligibility Detail, and Healthcare Service Communication which are now no longer required as direct R4 support is available.
Examples
HealthcareService with HPI-O and SNOMED-CT coded specialty
Albion Hospital Radiology Service
Albion Hospital Pathology Service
Strahan General Practitioner Services
