This profile sets minimum expectations for a Procedure resource to record, search, and fetch procedures associated with a patient. It is based on the AU Base Procedure profile and identifies the additional mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the Procedure resource when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.

See Comparison with other national and international IGs for a comparison between AU Core profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

### Usage Scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

- Query for procedures performed on a patient
- Record or update a record of a procedure performed on a patient

### Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

- `Procedure.category` provides an efficient way of supporting system interactions, e.g. restricting searches. Implementers need to understand that data categorisation is somewhat subjective. The categorisation applied by the source may not align with a receiver’s expectations.
- The use of coding can vary significantly across systems, requesters need to understand that they may encounter codes they do not recognise and be prepared to handle those resources appropriately. Responders SHOULD populate `Procedure.code.text` and/or `Procedure.code.coding.display` so that requesters can at least display the procedure even if the requester does not recognise the code supplied.
- `Procedure.code` contains the identification of the procedure which may include body site information. Where a system has information not supported by the coding in `Procedure.code.coding` (e.g. body site, laterality and other qualification of procedure coding terms) that information SHOULD be supplied in `Procedure.code.text`
- See the Representing Body Site, Which May Include Laterality section for guidance on representing a relevant body site and associated laterality.
- The Procedure resource can represent a clinical indication with `Procedure.reasonCode`, or a reference with `Procedure.reasonReference` to a Condition or other resource.
  - Although both are marked as Must Support, responders are not required to support both a code and a reference, but they SHALL support at least one of these elements
  - A requester SHALL support both elements
- A procedure including an implantable device is recommended to use `Procedure.focalDevice` with a reference to a Device resource

The additional obligation for `Procedure.performedDateTime` for AU Core Responder is SHOULD:populate. There is no additional obligation for AU Core Requester, the obligation of SHALL:no-error applies.

This obligation is present in the underlying structure but due to a tooling limitation is not currently rendered in the profile view. See Zulip discussion for more information.

### Notes:

Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters and combined search parameters. See the AU Core CapabilityStatements for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

FHIR search operations are described here and the syntax used to describe AU Core interactions is defined 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)
--- | --- | --- | ---
patient | SHALL | `reference` | The requester SHALL provide at least an id value and MAY provide both the Type and id values. The responder SHALL support both. The requester SHOULD support chained search patient.identifier using IHI, Medicare Number, and DVA Number identifiers as defined in the AU Core Patient profile. The responder SHOULD support chained search patient.identifier using IHI, Medicare Number, and DVA Number identifiers as defined in the AU Core Patient profile.
patient+date | SHALL | `reference`+`date` |
patient+code+date | SHOULD | `reference`+`token`+`date` |
patient+status | SHOULD | `reference`+`token` |
code | MAY | `token` | The requester SHALL provide at least a code value and MAY provide both the system and code values. The responder SHALL support both. The requester SHOULD support `multipleOr`. The responder SHOULD support `multipleOr`.
date | MAY | `date` | A requester SHALL provide a value precise to the second + time offset. A responder SHALL support a value precise to the second + time offset. The requester SHALL support these search comparators `gt`, `lt`, `ge`, `le`. The responder SHALL support these search comparators `gt`, `lt`, `ge`, `le`. The requester SHOULD support `multipleAnd`, and if `multipleAnd` is supported, SHALL support the search comparators `gt`, `lt`, `ge`, `le`. The responder SHOULD support `multipleAnd`, and if `multipleAnd` is supported, SHALL support the search comparators `gt`, `lt`, `ge`, `le`.
status | MAY | `token` | The requester SHALL provide at least a code value and MAY provide both the system and code values. The responder SHALL support both. The requester SHALL support `multipleOr`. The responder SHALL support `multipleOr`.

#### Mandatory Search Parameters

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported:

1. SHALL support searching using the `patient` search parameter:
   - SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier `patient.identifier` (e.g. `patient.identifier=[system|][code]`)

   `GET [base]/Procedure?patient={Type/}[id]` or optionally`GET [base]/Procedure?patient.identifier=[system|][code]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Procedure?patient=5678
   2. GET [base]/Procedure?patient.identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/medicare-number|32788511952
   3. GET [base]/Procedure?patient.identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608833357361

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Procedure resources for the specified patient (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

2. SHALL support searching using the combination of the `patient` and `date` search parameters:
   - SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier `patient.identifier` (e.g. `patient.identifier=[system|][code]`)
   - SHALL support these `date` comparators: `gt,lt,ge,le`
   - SHOULD support multipleAnd search on `date` (e.g.`date=[date]&date=[date]]&...`), and if multipleAnd is supported, SHALL support the search comparators `gt,lt,ge,le` `GET [base]/Procedure?patient={Type/}[id]&date={gt|lt|ge|le}[date]{&date={gt|lt|ge|le}[date]&...}`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Procedure?patient=5678&date=ge2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
   2. GET [base]/Procedure?patient.identifier=http://example.org/fhir/mrn|12345&date=ge2020-01-01T00:00:00Z

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Procedure resources for the specified patient and date (how to search by reference and how to search by date)

#### Optional Search Parameters

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHOULD be supported:

1. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the `patient` and `code` and `date` search parameters:
   - SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier `patient.identifier` (e.g. `patient.identifier=[system|][code]`)
   - SHOULD support multipleOr search on `code` (e.g.`code={system|}[code],{system|}[code],...`)
   - SHALL support these `date` comparators: `gt,lt,ge,le`
   - SHOULD support multipleAnd search on `date` (e.g.`date=[date]&date=[date]]&...`), and if multipleAnd is supported, SHALL support the search comparators `gt,lt,ge,le`

   `GET [base]/Procedure?patient={Type/}[id]&code={system|}[code]{,{system|}[code],...}&date={gt|lt|ge|le}[date]{&date={gt|lt|ge|le}[date]&...}`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Procedure?patient=5678&code=http://snomed.info/sct|26782000,http://snomed.info/sct|36969009&date=ge2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
   2. GET [base]/Procedure?patient.identifier=http://example.org/fhir/mrn|12345&code=http://snomed.info/sct|26782000,http://snomed.info/sct|36969009&date=ge2020-01-01T00:00:00Z

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Procedure resources for the specified patient and date and procedure code(s). SHOULD support search by multiple codes. (how to search by reference and how to search by token and how to search by date)

2. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the `patient` and `status` search parameters:
   - SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier `patient.identifier` (e.g. `patient.identifier=[system|][code]`)
   - SHALL support multipleOr search on `status` (e.g.`status={system|}[code],{system|}[code],...`)

   `GET [base]/Procedure?patient={Type/}[id]&status={system|}[code]{,{system|}[code],...}`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Procedure?patient=5678&status=completed

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Procedure resources for the specified patient and status (how to search by reference and how to search by token)
