Usage scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

• Record or update basic information for a location
• Read information about a location referenced by another resource

Comparison with other national and international IGs

A resource conforming to this profile:

• MAY be conformant to US Core Location if Location.name is supplied

No equivalent International Patient Access or International Patient Summary profile.

Conformance in reverse is not guaranteed, i.e. a resource conforming to US Core MAY NOT conform to AU Core.

Profile specific implementation guidance

• See guidance on the construction of an identifier on the relevant Identifier profile page and the section on Business Identifiers in AU Base.
• When constructing an address
  • an international address can be represented using the core Address data type
  • an Australian address SHOULD be represented using the Australian Address data type profile

Changes since version 1.0.0-ballot:

• Differential Table
• Key Elements Table
• Snapshot Table
• Statistics/References
• All

Summary

Must-Support: 5 elements

Structures

This structure refers to these other structures:

• AU Core Organization (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-organization)

Maturity: 1

Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters and combined search parameters. See the AU Core CapabilityStatements for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

FHIR search operations are described here and the syntax used to describe AU Core interactions is defined here.

Any search parameter defined in FHIR may be ‘allowed’ by the system unless explicitly marked as “SHALL NOT”. A few items are marked as MAY in this implementation guide to highlight their potential relevance.

Mandatory Search Parameters

1. SHALL support searching based on text name using the name search parameter:

   GET [base]/Location?name=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Location?name=Hospital

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources matching the name (how to search by string)

Optional Search Parameters:

The following search parameters SHOULD be supported:

1. SHOULD support searching based on text address using the address search parameter:

   GET [base]/Location?address=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Location?address=QLD
   2. GET [base]/Location?address=QLD

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources matching the name (how to search by string)

2. SHOULD support searching using the address-city search parameter:

   GET [base]/Location?address-city=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Location?address-city=Westmead

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources for the city (how to search by string)

3. SHOULD support searching using the addresss-postalcode search parameter:

   GET [base]/Location?addresss-postalcode=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Location?addresss-postalcode=3005

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources matching the post code (how to search by string)

4. SHOULD support searching using the address-state search parameter:

   GET [base]/Location?address-state=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Location?address-state=TAS

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources matching the state (how to search by string)
