This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.
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 Core Requester |
The AU Core Requester is a system that creates and initiates a data access request to retrieve core digital health and administrative information. |
AU Core Responder |
The AU Core Responder is a system responsible for providing responses to queries submitted by AU Core Requesters. |
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 Core Requester CapabilityStatement |
This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU Core Requester actor is responsible for creating and initiating the queries for information. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU Core Requesters are defined in this CapabilityStatement. |

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU Core Responder actor that is responsible for providing responses to queries submitted by AU Core Requesters. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU Core Responders are defined in this CapabilityStatement. |
These define the properties by which a RESTful server can be searched. They can also be used for sorting and including related resources.
