AU Core Implementation Guide
3.0.0-ci-build - CI Build Australia flag

AU Core Implementation Guide, published by HL7 Australia. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 3.0.0-ci-build built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/hl7au/au-fhir-core/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

This profile sets minimum expectations for a MedicationDispense resource to record, search, and fetch information about the dispense of a medication associated with a patient. It is based on the AU Base MedicationDispense profile and identifies the additional mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the MedicationDispense when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.

See Comparison with other national and international IGs for a comparison between AU Core profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

Usage Scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

  • Query the supply (dispense) of medications for a patient (current and historical)
  • Record or update the supply (dispense) of medications for a patient

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

  • See the Medicine Information page for guidance on how medicinal product identification can be structured in FHIR conformant to AU Core.
  • MedicationDispense resources can represent a medication using either a code as MedicationDispense.medicationCodeableConcept, or reference a Medication resource using MedicationDispense.medicationReference.
    • Responders are not required to support both a code and a reference, but SHALL support at least one of these methods
    • When referencing a Medication resource, it is preferred the resource is contained but it may be an external resource
    • If an external reference to a Medication resource is used, the responder SHALL support the _include parameter for searching this element
    • A requester SHALL support all methods
  • When populating MedicationDispense.medicationCodeableConcept responders SHALL correctly populate MedicationDispense.medicationCodeableConcept.coding with either a code from Australian Medication or PBS Item Codes, or both, if a coded value is known and MAY populate with a code from another code system.
    • Responders MAY populate with only text if no coded value is known.
  • The MedicationDispense resource SHALL NOT be used to represent that a patient is not currently taking any medications; implementers SHOULD use the MedicationStatement resource following the profile specific implementation guidance in AU Core MedicationStatement.

    Other representations of profile: CSV, Excel, Schematron

    Notes:

    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.

    Parameter(s) Conformance Type(s) Requirements (when used alone or in combination)
    patient SHALL reference The requester SHALL provide at least an id value and MAY provide both the type and id values. The responder SHALL support both.

    The requester SHOULD support chained search patient.identifier using IHI, Medicare Number, and DVA Number identifiers as defined in the AU Core Patient profile. The responder SHOULD support chained search patient.identifier using IHI, Medicare Number, and DVA Number identifiers as defined in the AU Core Patient profile.
    patient+status SHOULD reference+token
    status MAY token The requester SHALL provide at least a code value and MAY provide both the system and code values. The responder SHALL support both.

    The requester SHALL support multipleOr. The responder SHALL support multipleOr.
    prescription MAY reference The requester SHALL provide at least an id value and MAY provide both the type and id values. The responder SHALL support both.

    Mandatory Search Parameters

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

    1. SHALL support searching using the patient search parameter:
      • SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier patient.identifier (e.g. patient.identifier=[system|][code])
      • SHOULD support these _include parameters: MedicationDispense:medication

      GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient={type/}[id] or optionally GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient.identifier=[system|][code]

      Example:

      1. GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient=5678
      2. GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient=5678&_include=MedicationDispense:medication
      3. GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient.identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/medicare-number|32788511952
      4. GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient.identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608833357361

      Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all MedicationDispense resources for the specified patient (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

    Optional Search Parameters

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

    1. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient and status search parameters:
      • SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier patient.identifier (e.g. patient.identifier=[system|][code])
      • SHOULD support these _include parameters: MedicationDispense:medication
      • SHALL support multipleOr search on status (e.g. status={system|}[code],{system|}[code],...)

      GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient={type/}[id]&status={system|}[code]{,{system|}[code],...}

      Example:

      1. GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient=5678&status=completed
      2. GET [base]/MedicationDispense?patient=5678&status=completed&_include=MedicationDispense:medication

      Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all MedicationDispense resources for the specified patient and status (how to search by reference and how to search by token)
