AU Core Implementation Guide
2.0.1-ci-build - CI Build AU

AU Core Implementation Guide, published by HL7 Australia. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.1-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

## Resource Profile: AU Core Practitioner

Official URL: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-practitioner | Version: 2.0.1-ci-build
Standards status: Trial-use | Maturity Level: 2 | Computable Name: AUCorePractitioner

This profile sets minimum expectations for a Practitioner resource to record, search, and fetch basic demographics and other administrative information about an individual practitioner. It is based on the AU Base Practitioner profile and identifies the additional mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the Practitioner 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:

- Record or update information about a practitioner referenced by another resource
- Read information about a practitioner referenced by another resource

### Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

- Even though AU Core Profiles allow both PractitionerRole and Practitioner to be referenced, because PractitionerRole supplies a provider’s location, contact information, and reference to the Practitioner, it SHOULD be referenced instead of the Practitioner resource.
- If a system only supports Practitioner, the system SHALL provide implementation specific guidance how to access a provider’s location and contact information using only the Practitioner resource.
- See guidance on the construction of an identifier on the relevant Identifier profile page and the section on Business Identifiers in AU Base.

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: AU Core Pathology Result Observation, AU Core Diagnostic Result Observation, AU Core Encounter, AU Core MedicationRequest and AU Core PractitionerRole
- Examples for this Profile: Practitioner/bobrester-bob, Practitioner/chau-fryer, Practitioner/darleen-mackay and Practitioner/sallie-sutherland
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: AU Core Requester CapabilityStatement and AU Core Responder CapabilityStatement

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics

Changes since version 1.0.0:

- The resource metadata has changed (description)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

- The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Practitioner.identifier

### 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)
--- | --- | --- | ---
identifier | SHALL | `token` | The requester SHALL provide both the system and code values. The responder SHALL support both. The requester SHOULD support search using a HPI-I identifier as defined in the profile. The responder SHOULD support search using the using a HPI-I identifier as defined in the profile.
_id | SHOULD | `token` |
name | SHOULD | `string` |

#### Mandatory Search Parameters

The following search parameters SHALL be supported:

1. SHALL support searching using the `identifier` search parameter:

   `GET [base]/Practitioner?identifier=[system|][code]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Practitioner?identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/hpii/1.0|8003616566719020

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle containing all Practitioner resources matching the identifier (how to search by token)

#### Optional Search Parameters:

The following search parameters SHOULD be supported:

1. SHOULD support searching using the `_id` search parameter:

   `GET [base]/Practitioner?_id=[id]`

   Example:

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

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle with the requested Practitioner, 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 for a practitioner based on text name using the `name` search parameter:

   `GET [base]/Practitioner?name=[string]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Practitioner?name=Sandyson
   2. GET [base]/Practitioner?name=Sandyson&

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