Artifacts Summary

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

Behavior: Capability Statements

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.

US Core Client CapabilityStatement

This Section describes the expected capabilities of the US Core Client which is responsible for creating and initiating the queries for information about an individual patient. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by US Core Servers are defined in the Conformance Requirements for Server. US Core Clients have the option of choosing from this list to access necessary data based on their local use cases and other contextual requirements.

US Core Server CapabilityStatement

This Section describes the expected capabilities of the US Core Server actor which is responsible for providing responses to the queries submitted by the US Core Requestors. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by US Core Servers are defined. Systems implementing this capability statement should meet the ONC 2015 Common Clinical Data Set (CCDS) access requirement for Patient Selection 170.315(g)(7) and Application Access - Data Category Request 170.315(g)(8) and the ONC U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 4 July 2023. US Core Clients have the option of choosing from this list to access necessary data based on their local use cases and other contextual requirements.

Behavior: Operation Definitions

These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

US Core Fetch DocumentReference

This operation is used to return all the references to documents related to a patient. It is invoked on a FHIR Server’s DocumentReference endpoint (e.g., [base]/DocumentReference/$docref) and operates across all DocumentReference instances.

The operation requires a patient id and takes the optional input parameters:

  • start date
  • end date
  • document type
  • on-demand
  • profile

and returns a searchset Bundle containing DocumentReference resources for the patient. If the server has stored documents or can create documents for the patient and those documents are available for the user, the server returns the DocumentReference resources associated with documents. This operation’s intended use is to provide a way for providers or patients to access their available documents. The document itself can be subsequently retrieved using the link provided in the DocumentReference.content.attachment.url element. The link could be a FHIR endpoint to a Binary Resource or some other document repository.

This operation is different from a FHIR RESTful query on DocumentReference by patient and type and date range because:

  1. It is used to request a server to generate a document based on the specified parameters.

  2. If no parameters are specified, the server SHALL return a DocumentReference to the patient’s current C-CDA CCD.

  3. If the server cannot generate a document based on the specified parameters, the operation will return an empty search bundle.

Unless the client indicates they are only interested in ‘on-demand’ documents using the on-demand parameter, the server SHOULD return DocumentReference instances for existing documents that meet the request parameters In this regard, this operation is similar to a FHIR RESTful query.

Behavior: Search Parameters

These define the properties by which a RESTful server can be searched. They can also be used for sorting and including related resources.

Structures: Resource Profiles

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

US Core AllergyIntolerance Profile

To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile sets minimum expectations for the AllergyIntolerance resource to record, search, and fetch allergies/adverse reactions associated with a patient. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains the way the elements are used when using the profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.

US Core Average Blood Pressure Profile

To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch average diastolic and systolic blood pressure observations with standard LOINC codes and UCUM units of measure. It is based on the US Core Blood Pressure Profile and identifies which additional core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains the way the elements are used when using the profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.

US Core BMI Profile

To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch Body Mass Index (BMI) observations with a standard LOINC code and UCUM units of measure. It is based on the US Core Vital Signs Profile and identifies which additional core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains the way the elements are used when using the profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.
