Health Connect Australia Provider Directory FHIR Implementation Guide, published by Australian Digital Health Agency. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.1.0-preview built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build.

This profile defines content for describing details of an endpoint.

Note: All elements defined within this profile are expected to be supported by implementing systems unless explicitly stated otherwise. The following sections provide additional guidance and exceptions for specific elements.

No data is entered directly into Health Connect; all directory content is sourced from authoritative systems including PCA, HI-Service, and NHSD.

Usage notes

The following guidance expands on operational and implementation expectations for this Endpoint profile.

  • Purpose: An Endpoint in Health Connect describes how to communicate with a service (address, protocol, payloads and contact details). Directory consumers use this information to establish connections, and operational tooling uses it to monitor and validate connectivity.

Identifiers and stable handles

The Endpoint profile uses two stable identifier slices for directory management and routing:

  • HC Endpoint Identifier (HC-EPI) — a externally-assigned endpoint identifier. Publishers SHOULD set this identifier on creation and thereafter treat it as immutable. The identifier SHALL be globally unique within HealthConnect and SHALL NOT be re‑assigned. Client systems SHOULD prefer this identifier for reconciliation and updates rather than attempting to infer identity from other attributes.
  • HC SMD Target Identifier — a slice used only when the endpoint (or associated practitioner/service) supports Secure Messaging Delivery (SMD). When present the SMD identifier SHALL be globally unique and SHALL be treated as an immutable routing handle for secure point‑to‑point or hub‑mediated messaging. Publishers SHOULD only populate this slice for endpoints that actually support SMD.

Reciprocal relationships

In FHIR, linkage to resources is owned by the referencing resources (HealthcareService.endpoint, PractitionerRole.endpoint, Location.endpoint). The Endpoint resource itself has no back‑reference slots to those resources. Consequently:

  • Reciprocity cannot be enforced within the Endpoint profile (there is no standard element on Endpoint to list referencing HealthcareService / Location / PractitionerRole resources).
  • Directory governance MUST ensure that when a referencing resource adds or removes an Endpoint, any operational expectations (availability, deprecation, auditing) are handled in process.

Notes:

Search parameters

This IG defines and introduces several search parameters in addition to those inherited from R4, that make it easier to find and filter HC Endpoint resources in Health Connect implementations.

Search parameters defined in this IG

The following search parameters are defined by this IG and SHALL be supported:

  • hcepi (Endpoint.identifier where system = HC endpoint record identifier)
    • Find endpoint records by the HC identifier assigned in Health Connect.
    • Example: GET /Endpoint?hcepi=12345
  • payloadmimetype (Endpoint.payloadMimeType)
    • Search for endpoints that advertise support for a specific MIME type for payloads.
    • Typical values present in this IG's example data are:
      • application/pdf
      • application/fhir+xml
      • application/fhir+json
    • Example: GET /Endpoint?payloadmimetype=application%2Ffhir%2Bjson
  • epurl (alias used in this IG for Endpoint.address)
    • Convenience alias used in this IG's documentation to search by endpoint address.
    • Example: GET /Endpoint?epurl=https://smd.sydneyhospital.org.au/secure-messaging/endpoint

Search parameters from R4

The following search parameters are inherited from FHIR R4 and have been deemed useful for implementation within this IG. They SHALL be supported:

  • name (Endpoint.name)
    • Search for endpoints by name (partial matches may be supported).
    • Example: GET /Endpoint?name=My%20GP%20Service
  • connection-type (Endpoint.connectionType)
    • Search for endpoints by connection type (for example, hl7-fhir-rest or other interface codes).
    • Example: GET /Endpoint?connection-type=http://terminology.hl7.org.au/CodeSystem/endpoint-connection-type|secure-messaging

    • payload-type (Endpoint.payloadType)
    • Search for endpoints by payload type (CodeableConcept). Use HC Endpoint payload type ValueSet codes where applicable.
    • Example: GET /Endpoint?payload-type=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/hc/CodeSystem/hc-endpoint-payload-type-cs|some-payload



Note: Support for _id is mandatory for a responder and optional for a requester. Where the expectation for a search parameter differs between actors, the table below will reflect the stronger conformance requirement.

Parameter(s) Conformance Type(s) Requirements (when used alone or in combination)
_id SHALL token
hcepi SHALL token
name (R4) SHOULD string
connection-type (R4) SHOULD token
payload-type (R4) SHOULD token
epurl SHOULD uri
payloadmimetype SHOULD token
name+connection-type SHOULD string+token
name+payload-type SHOULD string+token
connection-type+payloadmimetype SHOULD token+token

Search reverse include parameters

This implementation supports the following _revinclude parameters when searching for Endpoint resources:

  • _revinclude=HealthcareService:endpoint - Include HealthcareService resources that reference this Endpoint
  • _revinclude=Location:endpoint - Include Location resources that reference this Endpoint
  • _revinclude=PractitionerRole:endpoint - Include PractitionerRole resources that reference this Endpoint
  • _revinclude=Provenance:target - Include Provenance resources that track changes to this Endpoint

Example usage

GET /Endpoint/303?_revinclude=HealthcareService:endpoint&_revinclude=Location:endpoint

This query returns the Endpoint resource along with all HealthcareServices and Locations that use this Endpoint.
