Introduction

This implementation guide supports Diagnostic Requests using HL7® FHIR®© in an Australian context.

Initial work has focussed on community Pathology Requests but there has been an attempt to provide foundations compatible with Radiology request needs. Further input is needed to identify features needed for Hospital requesting.

Relationship between HL7 AU and this implementation guide

  • This implementation guide is published as a proof of concept implementation guide known to HL7 Australia.
  • The content in this proof of concept guide may become an HL7 Australia specification.
  • This implementation guide is not endorsed by HL7 Australia or any of its members just by being made available via HL7 Australia or because it uses content from HL7 Australia specifications.

How to Read this Guide

This guide is divided into several pages which are listed at the top of each page in the menu bar.

  • Home: This page provides the introduction and scope for this guide.
  • Guidance: This page provides guidance on using the profiles defined in this guide.
  • Workflow: Requesting workflows for the common diagnostic request approaches.
  • FHIR Artefacts: These pages provide detailed descriptions and formal definitions for all the FHIR artefacts defined in this guide.
    • Profiles and Extensions: This set of pages describes the profiles and extensions that are defined in this guide to represent Australian local concepts using FHIR. Each profile page includes a narrative description, guidance, and formal definition. Although the guidance typically focuses on the profiled elements and seeks to provide a ‘how-to’ guide when representing concepts, it may also may focus on un-profiled elements to aid with implementation.
    • Search Parameters and Operations: Additional search parameters and operations needed by IG.
    • Terminology: This set of pages lists the value sets and code systems defined in this guide.
  • Examples: This page lists all the examples used in this guide.
  • Change Log: Changes between versions of the eRequesting IG.
  • Downloads: This page provides links to downloadable artefacts including the AU Base FHIR NPM package.

Collaboration

This guide is the product of collaborative work undertaken with participants from:

Any other interested parties are welcome to collaborate and contribute.

The end goal is for this work to feed into the Requesting Accelerator and in the meantime, this IG will be worked on through the HL7 AU Connectathon process.

FHIR®© connectathon events are key to the verification of the guide as being suitable for implementation. This implementation guide will be used as the basis for Australian connectathon events.

Cross Version Analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (hl7.fhir.au.draft.diagnostic-orders.r4) and R4B (hl7.fhir.au.draft.diagnostic-orders.r4b) are available.

Package hl7.fhir.uv.extensions.r4#1.0.0

This IG defines the global extensions - the ones defined for everyone. These extensions are always in scope wherever FHIR is being used (built Sun, Mar 26, 2023 08:46+1100+11:00)

Package hl7.fhir.au.base#4.1.2-preview

This implementation guide is provided to support the use of FHIR®© in an Australian context. (built Wed, Nov 15, 2023 16:09+1100+11:00)

Package hl7.fhir.au.core#0.2.2-preview

This implementation guide is provided to support the use of FHIR®© in an Australian context, and defines the minimum set of constraints on the FHIR resources to create the AU Core profiles. This implementation guide forms the foundation to build future AU Realm FHIR implementation guides and its content will continue to grow to meet the needs of AU implementers.
