This profile sets minimum expectations for a CareTeam resource to record, search, and fetch information about a care team. It is based on the core CareTeam resource and identifies the additional mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the CareTeam when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.

Usage scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

  • Query for a care team for a patient
  • Record or update a patient’s care team

Comparison with other national and international specifications

A resource conforming to this profile is conformant to:

No equivalent International Patient Access or International Patient Summary profile.

Conformance in reverse is not guaranteed, i.e. a resource conforming to US Core MAY NOT conform to AU Core.

Profile specific implementation guidance

  • Because PractitionerRole supplies a provider’s location, contact information, and reference to the Practitioner, it SHOULD be referenced in CareTeam.member instead of the a Practitioner resource.

Specific feedback is sought on appropriate category values for care teams.

Notes:

Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters and combined search parameters. FHIR search operations and the syntax used to describe the interactions is described here.

Any search parameter defined in FHIR may be ‘allowed’ by the system unless explicitly marked as “SHALL NOT”. A few items are marked as MAY in this implementation guide to highlight their potential relevance.

Parameter(s) Conformance Type(s) Requirements (when used alone or in combination)
patient SHALL reference The client SHALL provide at least an id value and MAY provide both the Type and id values. The server SHALL support both.
patient+status SHALL reference+token
patient.identifier SHOULD reference.token The client SHALL provide both the system and code values. The server SHALL support both.

The client SHOULD support search using IHI, Medicare Number, and DVA Number identifiers as defined in the AU Core Patient profile. The server SHOULD support search using the using IHI, Medicare Number, and DVA Number identifiers as defined in the AU Core Patient profile.
status MAY token The client SHALL provide at least a code value and MAY provide both the system and code values. The server SHALL support both.

Mandatory Search Parameters

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported:

  1. SHALL support searching using the patient search parameter:
    • SHALL support these _revinclude parameters: Provenance:target
    • SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier patient.identifier (e.g. patient.identifier=[system|][code])

    GET [base]/CareTeam?patient={Type/}[id] or optionally GET [base]/CareTeam?patient.identifier=[system|][code]

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/CareTeam?patient=5678
    2. GET [base]/CareTeam?patient.identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/medicare-number|32788511952
    3. GET [base]/CareTeam?patient.identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608833357361

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all CareTeam resources for the specified patient (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

  2. SHALL support searching using the combination of the patient and status search parameters:
    • SHALL support these _revinclude parameters: Provenance:target
    • SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier patient.identifier (e.g. patient.identifier=[system|][code])
    • SHOULD support multipleOr search on status (e.g.status={system|}[code],{system|}[code],...)

    GET [base]/CareTeam?patient={Type/}[id]&status={system|}[code]{,{system|}[code],...}

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/CareTeam?patient=5678&status=active
    2. GET [base]/CareTeam?patient=5678&status=active&_revinclude=Provenance:target

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all CareTeam resources for the specified patient and status (how to search by reference and how to search by token)
