AU Diagnostic Service Request [FMM 1]

This profile defines a service request structure that includes core localisation concepts for use as a request for a diagnostic investigation in an Australian context. This profile is intended to support ordering for pathology, radiology, and specialist diagnostic investigations.

Identifiers

These definitions, defined as profiles of Identifier, represent common data held in the ServiceRequest.identifier element:

Extensions

Extensions used in this profile:

Usage Notes

The procedure-targetBodyStructure extension should only be used if not implicit in the code found in ServiceRequest.code. If the use case requires bodySite to be handled as a separate resource instead of an inline coded element (e.g. to identify and track separately) then use the standard extension procedure-targetBodyStructure.

A pathology order is preferred to be a member of the RCPA - SPIA Requesting Pathology Terminology Reference Set [1].

An imaging order is preferred to be a member of the Imaging Procedure value set.

Examples

Hepatitis B surface antibody measurement order
