See Comparison with other national and international IGs for a comparison between AU Core profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

Usage scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

• Query for records associated with a patient
• Record or update a record associated with a patient
• Query for basic demographics and other administrative information about a patient
• Record or update basic demographics and other administrative information about a patient
• Read information about a patient referenced by another resource

Profile specific implementation guidance

• An individual’s IHI SHOULD be used in Patient.identifier if available, in preference to Medicare or DVA numbers.
• See guidance on the construction of identifiers in each Identifier profile and the section on Business Identifiers in AU Base.
• This profile supports the sex, gender, and related concepts of: Name to Use, Gender Identity, and Individual Pronouns. See the Sex and Gender page for guidance on exchanging sex and gender related concepts conformant to AU Core.
  • Sex Assigned at Birth is not marked as Must Support but may be exchanged using the Person Recorded Sex or Gender extension as profiled by AU Core Sex Assigned At Birth
• See the Representing communication preferences section for guidance.
• When constructing an address:
  • an international address can be represented using the core Address data type
  • an Australian address SHOULD be represented using the Australian Address data type profile
• Patient names can be provided as a text representation in name.text and/or parts such as name.family and name.given.
• name.text specifies the entire name as it is intended to be displayed. This may be provided instead of, or as well as, the specific parts. It is important to note that the presence of parts of a name, e.g. name.family and name.given, do not imply that name.text is known or needs to be supplied.
• In this profile, the following sub-elements of name are marked as Must Support: name.use, name.text, name.family, and name.given
  • responders are required to support at least one of the following sub-elements: name.text, name.family, and name.given
  • requesters are required to support all sub-elements marked Must Support: name.use, name.text, name.family, and name.given
