This profile defines content for describing details of an endpoint that would be adequate for addressing a secure message. 

### Usage Notes

**Profile specific implementation guidance:**

At least one of the following defined identifier types, known to this profile, **SHALL** be supplied:

* [PD Secure Messaging Delivery Target Identifier](StructureDefinition-au-pd-smdtargetidentifier.md)

**Usages:**

* Refer to this Profile: [AU PD Healthcare Service](StructureDefinition-au-pd-healthcareservice.md) and [AU PD Practitioner Role](StructureDefinition-au-pd-practitionerrole.md)
* Examples for this Profile: [Telstra Health Secure Messaging Endpoint](Endpoint-example0.md) and [Medical Objects Test Secure Messaging Endpoint](Endpoint-example1.md)

You can also check for [usages in the FHIR IG Statistics](https://packages2.fhir.org/xig/resource/hl7.fhir.au.pd|current/StructureDefinition/StructureDefinition-au-pd-sm-endpoint.json)

### Notes:

-------

**Read: Endpoint** Read identified endpoint resource content.

`GET [base]/Endpoint/[id]`

**Example:** `GET [base]/Endpoint/1234`

**Support:** MUST support read Endpoint

**Implementation Notes:** [[(how to read resource)](http://hl7.org/fhir/http.html#read)

-------

**Search: Active Status**

Search based on active status of the endpoint record.

`GET [base]/Endpoint?status=[code]`

**Example:** `GET [base]/Endpoint?status=active`

**Support:** MUST support search Organization by active status code (active | suspended | error | off | entered-in-error | test)

**Implementation Notes:** [(how to search by token)](http://hl7.org/fhir/search.html#token)

-------

**Search: Identifier (Secure Messaging Target Identifier)**

Search based on identifier token.

`GET [base]/Endpoint?identifier=[system]|[value]`

**Example:** `GET [base]/Endpoint?identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/smd/target|http://ns.argusdca.com.au/smd/id/hostname/ACC5959010000000`

**Support:** MUST support search by Secure Messaging Target Identifier

**Implementation Notes:** [(how to search by token)](http://hl7.org/fhir/search.html#token)

-------

**Search: Connection Type (Service Interface)**

Search based on token for a protocol to be used to connnect to the endpoint.

`GET [base]/Endpoint?connection-type=[system]|[code]`

**Example:** `GET [base]/Endpoint?connection-type=http://hl7.org.au/fhir/CodeSystem/smd-interfaces|http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/smd/intf/SealedMessageDelivery/TLS/2010`

**Support:** MUST support search by Connection Type.

**Implementation Notes:** [(how to search by token)](http://hl7.org/fhir/search.html#token)

-------

**Search: Payload Type (Service Category)**

Search based on token for the type of content supported by the endpoint.

`GET [base]/Endpoint?payload-type=[system]|[code]`

**Example:** `GET [base]/Endpoint?payload-type=http://hl7.org.au/fhir/CodeSystem/endpoint-payload-type|http://ns.hl7.org.au/hl7v2/profiles/HL7AU-OO-REF-SIMPLIFIED-201706`

**Support:** MUST support search by Payload Type.

**Implementation Notes:** [(how to search by token)](http://hl7.org/fhir/search.html#token)

-------

**Search: Receiving Facility Extension Elements (Custom)**

Search based string element content in the au-receivingfacility extension[1](searchparams.md). (namespace-id, universal-id, universal-id-type)

`GET [base]/Endpoint?au-receivingfacility-namespace-id=[string]&au-receivingfacility-universal-id=[string]&au-receivingfacility-universal-id-type=[string]`

**Example:** `GET [base]/Endpoint?au-receivingfacility-namespace-id=Buderim Medical Center&au-receivingfacility-universal-id=877F9695-1298-4E6A-B432-0FDD46AD80B8&au-receivingfacility-universal-id-type=GUID`

**Support:** MUST support search by Receiving Facility Extension Elements.

**Implementation Notes:** [(how to search by string)](http://hl7.org/fhir/search.html#string)

* For searching explicitly for empty elements use **:missing=true** e.g. `au-receivingfacility-universal-id-type:missing=true`
* Definition: au-receivingfacility-namespace-id (MSH-6.1) search `extension('http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-receivingfacility').extension('namespace-id').value`
* Definition: au-receivingfacility-universal-id (MSH-6.2) search `extension('http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-receivingfacility').extension('universal-id').value`
* Definition: au-receivingfacility-universal-id-type (MSH-6.3) search `extension('http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-receivingfacility').extension('universal-id-type').value`
