This profile defines a service request structure to represent a request for a diagnostic investigation in an Australian context. This profile is intended to support ordering for pathology, radiology, and specialist diagnostic investigations.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • The procedure-targetBodyStructure extension may be suitable for use where
    • body site is not implicit in the code found in ServiceRequest.code and
    • body site information is to be handled as a separate resource (e.g. to identify and track separately) instead of an inline coded element in ServiceRequest.bodySite.
  • ServiceRequest.code for a pathology order is preferred to be a member of the RCPA - SPIA Requesting Pathology Terminology Reference Set.
  • ServiceRequest.code for an imaging order is preferred to be a member of the Imaging Procedure value set.
  • When exchanging concepts of sex or gender, refer to the guidance in the Gender Harmony Implementation Guide.
  • See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
