Australian Digital Health Agency FHIR Implementation Guide

This profile identifies the additional constraints, extensions, and value sets that build on and extend EpisodeOfCare that are supported.

This profile is designed to set an EpisodeOfCare standard for:

• Query for a patient's registered GP practice information from MyMedicare
• Reading a patient’s registered GP practice information from MyMedicare

This profile may be referred to by APIs, which will be listed here when available.

Profile specific guidance

• Information about the GP Practice is represented with an Organization resource that is referenced in EpisodeOfCare.managingOrganization and Patient.generalPractitioner
• Practitioner name is represented in Patient.generalPractitioner.display with Patient.generalPractitioner.type="PractitionerRole", see example Patient's registered GP practice and practitioner name
• In an exchange with the My Health Record system the set of resources that make up patient GP practice registration information are collected in a Bundle

Boundaries and relationships

This profile is not referenced by another profile in this implementation guide.

This structure is derived from EpisodeOfCare

Summary

Mandatory: 5 elements
Must-Support: 6 elements
Fixed: 1 element

Structures

This structure refers to these other structures:

• ADHA Core Patient (http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/dh-patient-core-1)
• ADHA Core Organization (http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/dh-organization-core-1)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

• The element 1 is sliced based on the value of EpisodeOfCare.type

Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters. FHIR search operations and the syntax used to describe the interactions is described here.

Mandatory Search Parameters

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported:

1. SHALL support searching for all consent statements for a patient using the patient:identifier search parameter:

   GET [base]/EpisodeOfCare?patient:identifier={system|}[code]

   Example:

    GET [base]/EpisodeOfCare?patient:identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608000228437
   

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all EpisodeOfCare resources for the specified patient (how to search by :identifier)

2. SHALL support searching using the combination patient:identifier and status search parameter:
   • including support for OR search on status (e.g.status={system|}[code],{system|}[code],...)

   GET [base]/EpisodeOfCare?patient:identifier={system|}[code]&status={system|}[code]

   Example:

    GET [base]/EpisodeOfCare?patient:identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608000228437&status=active
   

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of the active EpisodeOfCare resources for the specified patient (how to search by :identifier and how to search by token)

3. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient:identifier and date and status search parameters:
   • including support for OR search on status (e.g.status={system|}[code],{system|}[code],...)

   GET [base]/EpisodeOfCare?patient:identifier={system|}[code]&date=[date]&status={system|}[code]

   Example:

    GET [base]/EpisodeOfCare?patient:identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608000228437&date=ge2013-03-14&status=active
   

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all active EpisodeOfCare resources for the specified patient that have a date greater than or equal to 21st Jan 2013. (how to search by :identifier and how to search by date)
