AU Base Implementation Guide
6.0.1-ci-build - CI Build

AU Base Implementation Guide, published by HL7 Australia. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 6.0.1-ci-build built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/AuDigitalHealth/au-fhir-base/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

## Resource Profile: AU Base Organization

This profile defines an organisation structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

### Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

- See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
- When selecting a code for `Organization.type`:
  - Where possible a code from the preferred Healthcare Organisation Role Type value set should be selected.
  - If a system is unable to provide a code from the preferred value set because the implementation context is not restricted to healthcare practitioner providers then it is recommended to select a suitable code from SNOMED CT.
  - If a suitable code from SNOMED CT is not available, a code from the code system Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 (Revision 2.0) may be used.
- When constructing an address:
  - an international address can be represented using the core Address data type
  - an Australian address can be represented using the Australian Address data type profile
- Additional considerations for systems aligning to HL7 AU Base:
  - Contact details and associated contact purpose are encouraged to be sent in `Organization.contact` over making use of the Contact Purpose extension.

Usages:

- Examples for this Profile: Test Org -DigitalHealth 5, Downunder Hospital, Albion Hospital, Holistic Medical Pty Ltd as trustee for Smith Family Trust...
