This profile sets minimum expectations for the CareTeam resource for identifying the Care Team members associated with a patient. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.

Example Usage Scenarios:

The following are example usage scenarios for the US Core-CareTeam profile:

Mandatory and Must Support Data Elements

The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present) or must be supported if the data is present in the sending system (Must Support definition).

Quick Start

Below is an overview of the required set of Server RESTful FHIR interactions - for example, search and read operations - for this profile. See the Conformance requirements for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

  • The syntax used to describe the interactions is described here.

  • See the General Guidance section for additional rules and expectations when a server requires status parameters.
  • See the General Guidance section for additional guidance on searching for multiple patients.

Mandatory Search Parameters:

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported.:

  1. SHALL support searching using the combination of the patient and status search parameters:
    • including support for composite OR search on status (e.g.status={system|}[code],{system|}[code],...)

    GET [base]/CareTeam?patient=[reference]&status=active

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/CareTeam?patient=1137192&status=active

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all CareTeam resources for the specified patient and status =active (how to search by reference and how to search by token)
