The Section describes the expected capabilities of the US Core Client which is responsible for creating and initiating the queries for information about an individual patient. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by US Core Servers are defined in the Conformance Requirements for Server. US Core Clients have the option of choosing from this list to access necessary data based on their local use cases and other contextual requirements.

FHIR RESTful Capabilities

The US Core Client SHALL:

Support fetching and querying of one or more US Core profile(s), using the supported RESTful interactions and search parameters declared in the US Core Server CapabilityStatement.

Security:

See the [General Security Considerations] section for requirements and recommendations.

Summary of System Wide Interactions

MAY support the transaction interaction.

MAY support the batch interaction.

MAY support the search-system interaction.

MAY support the history-system interaction.

ValueSet

Operation Summary:

SHOULD support the $expand operation
A client can determine the note and report types support by a server by invoking the standard FHIR Value Set Expansion ($expand) operation defined in the FHIR R4 specification. Because servers may support different read and write formats, it also is used to determine the formats (for example, text, pdf) the server supports read and write transactions.
