Details

This document serves as a technical Implementation Guide (IG) for Australia's My Health Record system, providing detailed specifications for the OperationOutcome resource profile (v1.4.0). The purpose of this profile is to define structured information regarding the outcome of an attempted electronic health information exchange. Specifically, it structures results related to system operations using elements such as Issue, Severity (fatal, error, warning, information), Code, and Details. This specification is based on FHIR standards and utilizes terminologies like SNOMED CT, forming a foundation for ensuring data quality and reliability in Australian healthcare information exchange. The developers and implementers must understand the constraints (e.g., limitations when a resource is contained within another) and required elements listed in this profile to implement system integration. This represents a critical technical document showing the standard data exchange format within Australia's digital health infrastructure.
