Artifacts Summary

Contents:

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Requirements: Actor Definitions

The following artifacts define the types of individuals and/or systems that will interact as part of the use cases covered by this implementation guide.

AU eRequesting Filler

The AU eRequesting Filler is a system that is responsible for finding and retrieving diagnostic request fulfilments so that service providers can fulfil them.
AU eRequesting Patient

A system that allows patients or their representatives to view diagnostic requests and fulfilment of diagnostic requests.
AU eRequesting Placer

The AU eRequesting Placer is a system that is responsible for creating diagnostic requests.
AU eRequesting Server

The eRequesting Server is a system that accepts diagnostic service requests and makes diagnostic service requests accessible.

Behavior: Capability Statements

The following artifacts define the specific capabilities that different types of systems are expected to have in order to comply with this implementation guide. Systems conforming to this implementation guide are expected to declare conformance to one or more of the following capability statements.

AU eRequesting Filler CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Filler actor that is responsible for finding and retrieving diagnostic request fulfilments so that service providers can fulfil them. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting fillers are defined in this CapabilityStatement.
AU eRequesting Patient CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Patient actor that is the digital interface that allows patients or their representatives to view diagnostic requests and fulfilment of diagnostic requests. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting patient clients are defined in this CapabilityStatement.
AU eRequesting Placer CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Placer actor that is responsible for creating diagnostic requests. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting placers are defined in this CapabilityStatement.
AU eRequesting Server CapabilityStatement

This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU eRequesting Server actor that is is a system that accepts diagnostic service requests and makes diagnostic service requests accessible. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU eRequesting servers are defined in this CapabilityStatement.

Structures: Abstract Profiles

These are profiles on resources or data types that describe patterns used by other profiles, but cannot be instantiated directly. I.e. instances can conform to profiles based on these abstract profiles, but do not declare conformance to the abstract profiles themselves.

AU eRequesting Diagnostic Request

This profile sets minimum expectations for a ServiceRequest resource that is used to record, search, and fetch information about diagnostic requests for a patient. It is based on the AU Base Diagnostic Request and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the ServiceRequest when conforming to this profile.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

AU eRequesting Imaging Request

This profile sets minimum expectations for a ServiceRequest resource that is used to record, search, and fetch information about diagnostic imaging requests for a patient. It is based on the AU eRequesting Diagnostic Request and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the ServiceRequest when conforming to this profile.
AU eRequesting Pathology Request

This profile sets minimum expectations for a ServiceRequest resource that is used to record, search, and fetch information about pathology requests for a patient. It is based on the AU eRequesting Diagnostic Request and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the ServiceRequest when conforming to this profile.
AU eRequesting Task

This profile sets minimum expectations for a Task resource that is used to record, search, and fetch information about a task to be performed. It is based on the Task and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the Task when conforming to this profile.

Terminology: Value Sets

These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

AU eRequesting Coverage Type and Self-Pay

Coverage type and self pay codes typically used in the Australian eRequesting context.
AU eRequesting Task Status

Task status values used in the Australian eRequesting context.
RANZCR Radiology Referral

Standard codes for use in requesting radiology tests in Australia, derived from the RANZCR Radiology Referral Set (RRS).

Example: Example Instances
