This profile defines a healthcare service structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • An HPI-O can be sent in HealthcareService.identifier when supporting the case where network HPI-Os are issued for sub-organisations, departments, or other logical divisions acting as specific healthcare services. This is useful in the absence of any specific national identifier for healthcare service entities.
  • See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
  • If a system needs to differentiate contacts for a practitioner in a role by purpose:
    • contact information is sent in HealthcareService.telecom
    • purpose for the contact is sent using the Contact Purpose extension in HealthcareService.telecom.extension
  • See the AU Base Location profile for guidance on using a Location resource as part of defining a type of mobile or remotely delivered service.
