## Artefacts Summary

Page standards status: Informative

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

### Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

AU PS AllergyIntolerance | This profile sets minimum expectations for an AllergyIntolerance resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core AllergyIntolerance profile, and applies the additional requirements from AllergyIntolerance (IPS).
AU PS Bundle | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Bundle resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on core FHIR Bundle, and applies the constraints of Bundle (IPS) and AU Patient Summary.
AU PS Composition | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Composition resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on AU Base Composition and imposes Composition (IPS).
AU PS Condition | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Condition resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Condition profile, and applies the additional requirements from Condition (IPS).
AU PS Encounter | This profile sets minimum expectations for an Encounter resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Encounter profile, and applies the additional constraints for use in a patient summary context consistent with the profiling conventions of IPS.
AU PS Immunization | This profile sets minimum expectations for an Immunization resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Immunization profile, and applies the additional requirements from Immunization (IPS).
AU PS Medication | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Medication resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Medication profile, and applies the additional requirements from Medication (IPS).
AU PS MedicationRequest | This profile sets minimum expectations for a MedicationRequest resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core MedicationRequest, and applies the additional requirements from MedicationRequest (IPS).
AU PS MedicationStatement | This profile sets minimum expectations for a MedicationStatement resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core MedicationStatement profile, and applies the additional requirements from MedicationStatement (IPS).
AU PS Organization | This profile sets minimum expectations for an Organization resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Organization profile, and applies the additional requirements from Organization (IPS).
AU PS Pathology Result Observation | This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource that represents a pathology result associated with a patient in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Pathology Result Observation profile, and applies the additional requirements from Observation Results - Laboratory/Pathology (IPS).
AU PS Patient | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Patient resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Patient profile, and applies the additional requirements from Patient (IPS).
AU PS Practitioner | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Practitioner resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Practitioner profile, and applies the additional requirements from Practitioner (IPS).
AU PS PractitionerRole | This profile sets minimum expectations for a PractitionerRole resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core PractitionerRole profile, and applies the additional requirements from PractitionerRole (IPS).
AU PS Procedure | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Procedure resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Procedure profile, and applies the additional requirements from Procedure (IPS).
AU PS RelatedPerson | This profile sets minimum expectations for a RelatedPerson resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Related Person profile, and applies the additional constraints for use in a patient summary context consistent with the profiling conventions of IPS.
AU PS Smoking Status | This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource that represents a patient’s smoking status in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Smoking Status profile, and applies the additional requirements from Observation Social History - Tobacco Use (IPS).

### Example: Example Instances

These are example instances that show what data produced and consumed by systems conforming with this implementation guide might look like.

Bundle - Basic summary | Shows an example of a provider curated patient summary that demonstrates no known problems or disabilities, current allergies and intolerances, and current medication use. Example for the AU Patient Summary Bundle and AU Patient Summary Composition profile. Patient: Mia Leanne Banks.
Bundle - Jeramy’s Patient Summary as of 27 May 2025 | Interstate GP use case example. Shows an example of a patient summary authored by the patient’s usual GP that was updated after a recent admission to hospital. Example for the AU Patient Summary Bundle and AU Patient Summary Composition profile. Patient: Jeramy Ezra Banks.
Bundle - Patient Summary for Joyce Johnson as of 07 NOV 2024 (with digital signature) | Referral to Specialist and Allied Health use case example. Shows an example of a patient summary containing the medical history and current medications that is automatically generated by a clinical information system and includes the most recent information. This example is digitally signed. Example for the AU Patient Summary Bundle and AU Patient Summary Composition profile. Patient: Joyce Johnson.
Bundle - Patient Summary for Joyce Johnson as of 28 OCT 2024 (with electronic signature) | Referral to Specialist and Allied Health use case example. Shows an example of a patient summary containing the medical history and current medications at the time of referral that was authored by the GP through curation of a generated view of the data within their clinical information system, and was attested at the time of creation of the patient summary and signed electronically. Example for the AU Patient Summary Bundle and AU Patient Summary Composition profile. Patient: Joyce Johnson.
Bundle - Section empty reason | Shows an example of a software-assembled patient summary that demonstrates the system has no information for the sections: problems, allergies, medications, immunisations. Example for the AU Patient Summary Bundle and AU Patient Summary Composition profile. Patient: Ronny Lawrence Irvine.
