Australian Digital Health FHIR Example: RelatedPerson Resource Definition

Details

This document is an example of a structured electronic health record, based on the FHIR Implementation Guide provided by the Australian Digital Health Agency. It illustrates the definition of the 'RelatedPerson' resource for an individual, including critical elements such as National unique individual identifiers, patient information, and relationships (classified using SNOMED CT or RoleCode). The data is available in multiple formats—Narrative, XML, JSON, and Turtle—providing a technical guideline for handling medical information in a standardized way. This example adheres to FHIR version 4.0.1 and utilizes the ADHA Core RelatedPerson Profile. This ensures that an individual's relationships and attributes, such as those of 'Rosalia SMITH,' can be exchanged accurately and interoperably across different systems. In Australian healthcare IT, providing standardized data structures and concrete implementation examples is crucial for promoting system interoperability and building high-quality electronic health record systems. The guide was generated on April 14, 2023, based on FHIR version 4.0.1, serving as a technical reference for healthcare institutions and developers implementing these standards.
