This profile sets the minimum expectations for a CommunicationRequest resource used to represent a request for direct communication from a diagnostic provider (filler) to a patient. It is based on the AU eRequesting CommunicationRequest profile and identifies the additional constraints, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the CommunicationRequest when conforming to this profile.
The following are example usage scenarios for this profile:

This structure is derived from AUeRequestingCommunicationRequest
Summary
Mandatory: 3 elements
Must-Support: 2 elements
Structures
This structure refers to these other structures:
Maturity: 1
Other representations of profile: CSV, Excel, Schematron
Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters and combined search parameters. See the AU eRequesting 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 eRequesting interactions is defined here.
Any search parameter defined in FHIR may be ‘allowed’ by the system unless explicitly marked as “SHALL NOT”.
| Parameter(s) | Server Conformance | Placer Conformance | Filler Conformance | Patient Conformance | Type(s) | Requirements (when used alone or in combination) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| _id | SHALL | MAY | MAY | MAY | token |
The following search parameters and search parameter combinations are supported. Conformance obligations are detailed in the table above.
_id search parameter
GET [base]/CommunicationRequest?_id=[id]
Example:
Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle with the requested CommunicationRequest, 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)
