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.

Summary of Must Support and References Between Profiles

The table below identifies where a Profile has a Must Support reference to other profiles or resources (i.e., Target Profiles). This list is provided to clarify where additional profiles or resources may need to be supported if a server supports a particular resource.

Capabilities by Resource/Profile

Summary

The summary table lists the resources that are part of this configuration, and for each resource it lists:

  • The relevant profiles (if any)
  • The interactions supported by each resource (Read, Search, Update, and Create, are always shown, while VRead, Patch, Delete, History on Instance, or History on Type are only present if at least one of the resources has support for them.
  • The required, recommended, and some optional search parameters (if any).
  • The linked resources enabled for _include
  • The other resources enabled for _revinclude
  • The operations on the resource (if any)
