AU Base Implementation Guide
4.2.1-preview - Preview
This page is part of the Australian Base IG (v4.2.1-preview: QA Preview) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. The current version which supersedes this version is 4.1.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

This June 2024 preview snapshot of AU Base supports testing of AU Core prior to Ballot of AU Core R1.
Testing plays a crucial role in the development of AU Core. It helps to build an AU Core that is aligned with its intended purpose and is practical, and responsive to the diverse needs of various stakeholders.
Testing AU Core helps identify issues, challenges, or gaps in the specification, enabling its improvement. During testing, implementers test their FHIR resources, software products, and/or proof of concepts with AU Core and provide essential feedback.
This testing period ends 08 September 2024.
To learn more about testing AU Core or express your interest in participating, see AU Core FHIR IG Testing.
This implementation guide is provided to support the use of HL7® FHIR®© in an Australian context.
The AU Base implementation guide presents Australian use concepts defined via FHIR processable artefacts; these are collaborative outputs with agreed approaches to varied kinds of healthcare related information based on the core FHIR R4 specification as base profiles that can be further constrained in a separate implementation guide for a particular usage.
This guide alone does not constrain profiles sufficiently to ensure implementation use cases can be met.
For an implementation guide that has basic constraints to support many uses it is recommended that the AU Core implementation guide is used. The implementable AU Core specification references and uses AU Base profiles, this constrains elements further and defines an expected level of interface interaction support around profiles. If an implementation is AU Core conformant this allows a level of core capability to be assumed when using.
This guide is divided into several pages which are listed at the top of each page in the menu bar.
This guide is the product of collaborative work undertaken with participants from:
FHIR®© connectathon events are key to the verification of the guide as being suitable for implementation. This implementation guide will be used as the basis for Australian connectathon events.
FHIR profiles are managed under HL7 Australia work groups and projects managed by the HL7 Australia FHIR Work Group
Some profiles indicate the responsible work group, or enquires can be directed to the Work Group Liaison Officer
