AU Patient Summary Implementation Guide
0.3.0-ballot - Ballot Australia flag

This page is part of the AU Patient Summary (v0.3.0-ballot) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. No current official version has been published yet. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions. This version does not produce a registered package so may only be referenced directly here.

Declaring Conformance

Page standards status: Informative

A system declaring conformance to AU Patient Summary (AU PS) SHALL implement the conformance requirements as defined for one or both of the following actors:

AU PS does not define any FHIR-specific interactions and therefore does not include a CapabilityStatement.

Systems implementing AU PS MAY implement interactions defined in other CapabilityStatements, for example:

FHIR Server CapabilityStatement

Servers that implement support for AU PS profiles, declare conformance to each profile by hosting a CapabilityStatement resource at [server-base-url]/metadata that is available to both authenticated and unauthenticated clients. The capability statement declares support for a resource as either a base profile using CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.profile or supported profile using CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.supportedProfile.

Example: CapabilityStatement resource for a server supporting the AU PS Patient profile as a system-wide profile that is applied across all instances of the Patient resource:

```
{
  "resourceType": "CapabilityStatement",
  ...
  "rest": [
    {
      "mode": "server",
    ...
        "resource": [
          ...
          {
            "type": "Patient",
            "profile": [
              "http://hl7.org/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-patient"
            ],
            ...
          }
        ]
    }
  ] 
}
```

Example: CapabilityStatement resource for a server supporting the AU PS Patient profile as a profile for supported use cases provided by the server:

```
{
  "resourceType": "CapabilityStatement",
  ...
  "rest": [
    {
      "mode": "server",
    ...
        "resource": [
          ...
          {
            "type": "Patient",
            "supportedProfile": [
              "http://hl7.org.au/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-patient"
            ],
            ...
          }
        ]
    }
  ] 
}
```
