AU Core Implementation Guide

Comparison with other national and international specifications

Page standards status: Informative

A resource may be conformant to multiple implementation guides. In addition to the core FHIR specification, a resource conformant to an AU Core profile may be conformant to profiles published project implementation guides, other national, or international implementation guides.

The table provides a high-level comparison, indicating if a resource conformant to a particular AU Core profile also satisfies (i.e. is conformant to) a profile from International Patient Access, International Patient Summary, or US Core.

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.
