Resource Profile: AU eRequesting Communication Request CopyTo

This profile sets minimum expectations for a CommunicationRequest resource that is used to define a copy-to clinician or copy-to patient as a report recipient. This is differentiated from an urgent practitioner communication as priority may not be urgent and the requester will not be the recipient. It is based on the CommunicationRequest and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the CommunicationRequest when conforming to this profile.

Usage:

• CapabilityStatements using this Resource Profile: AU eRequesting Filler CapabilityStatement, AU eRequesting Patient CapabilityStatement, AU eRequesting Placer CapabilityStatement and AU eRequesting Server CapabilityStatement
• This Resource Profile is not used by any profiles in this Implementation Guide
