Artifacts Summary

Contents:

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Requirements: Actor Definitions

The following artifacts define the types of individuals and/or systems that will interact as part of the use cases covered by this implementation guide.

AU eRequesting Filler

The AU eRequesting Filler is a system that is responsible for finding and retrieving diagnostic service requests so that service providers can fulfil them. It ensures that service providers have the necessary information to fulfil the requests and manages the requests through the fulfilment process.
AU eRequesting Patient Access

The AU eRequesting Patient Access is a system that is the digital interface that allows patients or their representatives to view and manage requests for diagnostic services. It provides access to request information, enabling patients to choose service providers and track the status of requests.
AU eRequesting Placer

The AU eRequesting Placer is a system that is responsible for initiating and creating diagnostic service requests. This system connects to enable requesters to provide the necessary information to create a request, ensuring that required data is accurately collected and provided to service providers with sufficient information for them to fulfil the request.
AU eRequesting Server

The eRequesting Server is a system that accepts diagnostic service requests and makes diagnostic service requests accessible.

Behavior: Capability Statements

The following artifacts define the specific capabilities that different types of systems are expected to have in order to comply with this implementation guide. Systems conforming to this implementation guide are expected to declare conformance to one or more of the following capability statements.

AU eRequesting Filler CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Filler actor that is responsible for finding and retrieving diagnostic service requests so that service providers can fulfil them. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting fillers are defined in this CapabilityStatement.
AU eRequesting Patient Access CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Patient Access actor that is the digital interface that allows patients or their representatives to view and manage requests for diagnostic services. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting patient access clients are defined in this CapabilityStatement.
AU eRequesting Placer CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Placer actor that is responsible for initiating and creating diagnostic service requests. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting placers are defined in this CapabilityStatement.
AU eRequesting Server CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Server actor that is is a system that accepts diagnostic service requests and makes diagnostic service requests accessible. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting servers are defined in this CapabilityStatement.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

AU eRequesting Imaging Request

This profile sets minimum expectations for a ServiceRequest resource that is used to record, search, and fetch information about diagnostic imaging requests for a patient. It is based on the AU eRequesting ServiceRequest and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the ServiceRequest when conforming to this profile.
AU eRequesting Pathology Request

This profile sets minimum expectations for a ServiceRequest resource that is used to record, search, and fetch information about pathology requests for a patient. It is based on the AU eRequesting ServiceRequest and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the ServiceRequest when conforming to this profile.
AU eRequesting ServiceRequest

This profile sets minimum expectations for a ServiceRequest resource that is used to record, search, and fetch information about diagnostic requests for a patient. It is based on the AU Base Diagnostic Request and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the ServiceRequest when conforming to this profile.

Terminology: Value Sets

These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

RANZCR Radiology Referral

Standard codes for use in requesting radiology tests in Australia, derived from the RANZCR Radiology Referral Set (RRS).

Example: Example Instances

These are example instances that show what data produced and consumed by systems conforming with this implementation guide might look like.

Encounter - Consultation

Shows an example for the AU Core Encounter profile. Patient: Fred Roberts.
Organization - Elimbah Medical Center

Shows an example for the AU Core Organization profile.
Patient - Fred Roberts

Shows an example for the AU Core Patient profile.
Practitioner - Dr. Jarred Guthridge

Shows an example for the AU Core Practitioner profile.
PractitionerRole - General practitioner

Shows an example for the AU Core PractitionerRole profile.
ServiceRequest - Full Blood Count

Shows an example of a request for an FBC for the AU eRequesting Pathology Request profile. Patient: Fred Roberts.
ServiceRequest - X-Ray

Shows an example of a request for an X-Ray for the AU eRequesting Imaging Request profile. Patient: Fred Roberts.
