1. Pre-Requisites for FHIR Servers

1.1 CareConnectAPI Requirements

  • SHALL support HL7 FHIR STU3 version 1.0.0.
  • SHALL support the CareConnect Patient resource profile.
  • SHALL support at least one additional resource profile from the list of CareConnect Profiles
  • SHALL Implement REST behavior according to the FHIR specification
  • Resources SHALL identify the CareConnect profile supported as part of the FHIR Base Resource
  • SHALL support XML or JSON formats for all CareConnect API interactions and SHOULD support both formats.

1.2 FHIR Conformance

SHALL declare a Conformance identifying the list of profiles, operations, search parameter supported.

In order to be a compliant FHIR server, client systems need to expose a valid FHIR Capability profile. See also Care Connect API FHIR Capability profile.

1.3 NHS Number

Only verified NHS Number SHALL be used with CareConnect profiles. This can be achieved using a spine accredited system, a Demographics Batch Service (DBS) batch-traced record (CSV), or using a Spine Mini Services Provider (HL7v3) to verify the NHS Number.

2. Resource API Structure

The FHIR Care Connect profile API’s described in the Explore section of this implementation guide have been structured consistently in the following way:

  • 0. References
  • 1. Read
  • 2. Search Parameters
  • 3. Example

2.1 Resource API Structure Details
