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 about a person related to a patient
• Record or update information about a related person referenced by another resource

Profile specific implementation guidance

• 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
• Related person names can be provided as a text representation in name.text and/or parts such as name.family and name.given.
  • name.text specifies the entire name as it is intended to be displayed. This may be provided instead of, or as well as, the specific parts. It is important to note that the presence of parts of a name, e.g. name.family and name.given, do not imply that name.text is known or needs to be supplied.
  • In this profile, the following sub-elements of name are marked as Must Support: name.use, name.text, name.family, and name.given
    • responders are required to support at least one of the following sub-elements: name.text, name.family, and name.given
    • requesters are required to support all sub-elements marked Must Support: name.use, name.text, name.family, and name.given

This structure is derived from AUBaseRelatedPerson

Summary

Must-Support: 9 elements

Structures

This structure refers to these other structures:

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

Maturity: 0

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

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])

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

   Example:

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

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all RelatedPerson 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 _id search parameter:

   GET [base]/RelatedPerson?_id=[id]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/RelatedPerson?_id=5678

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle with the requested RelatedPerson, instead of just the resource itself, and allows for the inclusion of additional search parameters such as _include, _revinclude, or _lastUpdated (how to search by id of the resource)

2. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient and relationship search parameters:
   • SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier patient.identifier (e.g. patient.identifier=[system|][code])

   GET [base]/RelatedPerson?patient={Type/}[id]&relationship={system|}[code]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/RelatedPerson?patient=5678&relationship=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-RoleCode|MTH,http://snomed.info/sct|133932002
   2. GET [base]/RelatedPerson?patient.identifier=http://example.org/fhir/mrn|12345&relationship=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-RoleCode|MTH,http://snomed.info/sct|133932002

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

3. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient and name search parameters:
   • SHOULD support chained searching of patient canonical identifier patient.identifier (e.g. patient.identifier=[system|][code])

   GET [base]/RelatedPerson?patient={Type/}[id]&name=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/RelatedPerson?patient=5678&name=Wang
   2. GET [base]/RelatedPerson?patient.identifier=http://example.org/fhir/mrn|12345&name=Wang

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