This profile defines a condition structure that localises core concepts, including 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](http://hl7.org/fhir/profiling.html), about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.
This profile defines a coverage structure that localises core concepts, including 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.

This profile provides an observation information structure for asserting a clinical judgement that there are no items of specific interest, (e.g. no current medications or no history of vaccination), for a patient. An assertion of no relevant finding may be used in continuity of care or transfer or care related lists and composition sections.

This extension is not to be the sole representation of the medication concept; it shall not be used as a substitute for medication code (e.g. Medication.code or MedicationStatement.medicationCodeableConcept). If a system can only supply branded product information in text form, that information will be supplied in the text portion of that code e.g. code.text or medicationCodeableConcept.text. This extension only supports the name portion of a medication concept, not the branded product or product pack information. It is available for use for where a system needs to separate out the brand name string for handling or other processing.
This extension applies to the Medication, MedicationRequest, MedicationDispense and MedicationStatement resources and is used to represent the generic name of a medication.

This extension is not to be the sole representation of the medication concept; it shall not be used as a substitute for medication code (e.g. Medication.code or MedicationStatement.medicationCodeableConcept). If a system can only supply generic product information, and only in text form, that information will be supplied in the text portion of that code e.g. code.text or medicationCodeableConcept.text.

This extension is to support the provision of healthcare services to patients with specific cultural identities. This extension provides further information about a person’s cultural values and practices which can be significant in determining service type, support required and possible needs. The words 'ethnicity' and 'ethnic' are associated with many different meanings, but for the purpose of this extension ethnicity refers to the shared identity or similarity of a group of people on the basis of one or more distinguishing sociological characteristics, such as language, shared history, religion, cultural traditions or geographic origin etc. This extension supports Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as well as ethnicities originating from outside of Australia.

This profile defines a substance structure that localises core concepts, including 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](http://hl7.org/fhir/profiling.html), about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.
This identifier profile defines a patient internal identifier in an Australian context. A patient internal identifier is assigned to a patient by an application (e.g. practice management system or a cloud-based electronic medical record) to uniquely identify a patient within that application. While a patient internal identifier can be exchanged with other applications, its scope for sharing is limited and typically occurs for context-specific patient matching (e.g. a patient internal identifier included in a pathology request can be returned in the associated pathology report). This identifier is only unique within the assigning application and is not suitable for broader use as a persistent identifier, unlike a Medical Record Number (MRN), which is unique within an institution.
The purpose for which an associated contact can be reached.

This profile defines a service request structure to represent a request for a diagnostic investigation in an Australian context. This profile is intended to support ordering for pathology, radiology, and specialist diagnostic investigations.
This profile defines a service request structure that localises core concepts, including 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](http://hl7.org/fhir/profiling.html), about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.
This extension applies to the Patient, RelatedPerson, and Practitioner resources and is used to represent a person's date of arrival in an Australian context (see [Australian Bureau of Statistics](https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/1200.0.55.007Main+Features12014,%20Version%201.5?OpenDocument) for further information). The date of arrival is when a person (born outside of Australia) first arrived in Australia, from another country, with the intention of living in Australia for one year or more. This date is recorded once for a person and is not subsequently updated with subsequent arrivals. This element is a part of Cultural and Linguistic Diversity (CALD) data set. It is an important indicator of cultural identity, and provides further information about a person's cultural values and practices which can be significant in determining service type, support required, and possible needs.
This identifier profile defines a local order identifier in an Australian context. A local order identifier is an organisation's identifier for an order in that organisation's local system set of orders. Typically a local order identifier will be either a [placer identifier](https://confluence.hl7australia.com/display/OOADRM20181/5+Observation+Ordering#id-5ObservationOrdering-5.4.1.2ORC-2Placerordernumber(EI)00216) or a [filler identifier](https://confluence.hl7australia.com/display/OOADRM20181/5+Observation+Ordering#id-5ObservationOrdering-5.4.1.3ORC-3Fillerordernumber(EI)00217) (sometimes known as filler order number). A placer identifier is an identifier for a request or group of requests where the identifier is issued by the entity making the request. A filler identifier is an identifier for a request or group of requests where the identifier is issued by the entity that produces the observations or fulfills the request.
This identifier profile defines a local report identifier in an Australian context. A local report identifier is an organisation's identifier for a report in that organisation's local system set of reports. A report identifier must uniquely identify the report from all other reports in a particular system (e.g. diagnostic imaging system, clinical laboratory system, document management system, referral systems). In some laboratory systems, the report identifier may be a concatenation of a lab number and report panel code (e.g. 19P123456-FBC), where the panel code makes the identifier unique from other reports under the same lab number.
This identifier profile defines an accession number in an Australian context. Accession numbers are typically assigned by a diagnostic imaging system or clinical laboratory system and depending on the domain an accession number may for example identify a specimen, imaging examination, or biological polymer sequence.
