This profile sets minimum expectations for a Patient resource to record, search, and fetch basic demographics and other administrative information about an individual patient. It is based on the AU Base Patient profile and identifies the additional mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the Patient when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.
The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:
A resource conforming to this profile is conformant to:
Conformance in reverse is not guaranteed, i.e. a resource conforming to International Patient Access, International Patient Summary, or US Core MAY NOT conform to AU Core.
Patient.identifier if available, in preference to Medicare or DVA numbersAU Core TDG held a discussion on preferred identifiers to support where an individual is ineligible for an IHI, e.g. tourist or other temporary stay in Australia. Passport was proposed for use (see example Patient/italia-sofia).
AU Core TDG decided this is not a priority for AU Core and will not be addressed in AU Core release 1.
AU Core TDG discussed whether MRN is to be a supported identifier for patients.
AU Core TDG decided that MRN will not be added to the profile as a supported identifier, noting that MRN is still permitted.
AU Core Patient currently supports Administrative Gender as Patient.gender.
Specific feedback is sought on the case for inclusion of specific gender and sex use-data elements in AU Core Patient in release 1:

Summary
Mandatory: 4 elements
Must-Support: 17 elements
Structures
This structure refers to these other structures:
Slices
This structure defines the following Slices:
Maturity: 0
Other representations of profile: CSV, Excel, Schematron
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| _id | SHALL | token |
|
| identifier | SHALL | 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 profile. The server SHOULD support search using the using IHI, Medicare Number, and DVA Number identifiers as defined in the profile. |
| birthdate+family | SHOULD | date+string |
|
| birthdate+name | SHOULD | date+string |
|
| family | SHOULD | string |
|
| family+gender | SHOULD | string+token |
|
| gender+name | SHOULD | token+string |
|
| name | SHOULD | string |
|
| birthdate | MAY | date |
A client SHALL provide a value precise to the day. A server SHALL support a value precise to the day offset. |
| gender | 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. |
| indigenous-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. |
| patient-gender-identity | 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. |
_id search parameter:
_revinclude parameters: Provenance:targetGET [base]/Patient/[id] or GET [base]/Patient?_id=[id]
Example:
Implementation Notes: Returns a single Patient resource (how to search by the logical id of the resource)
identifier search parameter:
_revinclude parameters: Provenance:targetGET [base]/Patient?identifier=[system|][code]
Example:
Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle containing any Patient resources matching the identifier (how to search by token)
The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHOULD be supported:
name search parameter:
_revinclude parameters: Provenance:targetGET [base]/Patient?name=[string]
Example:
gender and name search parameters:
_revinclude parameters: Provenance:targetGET [base]/Patient?gender={system|}[code]&name=[string]
Example:
Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Patient resources matching the specified gender and name (how to search by string and how to search by token)
birthdate and family search parameters:
_revinclude parameters: Provenance:targetGET [base]/Patient?birthdate=[date]&family=[string]
Example:
Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Patient resources matching the specified birthdate and family (how to search by date and how to search by string)
birthdate and name search parameters:
_revinclude parameters: Provenance:targetGET [base]/Patient?birthdate=[date]&name=[string]
Example:
Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Patient resources matching the specified birthdate and name (how to search by date and how to search by string)
family and gender search parameters:
_revinclude parameters: Provenance:targetGET [base]/Patient?family=[string]&gender={system|}[code]
Example:
Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Patient resources matching the specified family and gender (how to search by string and how to search by token)
