US Core Server CapabilityStatement

Implementation Guide Version: 3.1.0
FHIR Version: 4.0.1
Supported formats: xml, json
Published: 2019-10-04
Published by: HL7 International - US Realm Steering Committee

This Section describes the expected capabilities of the US Core Server actor which is responsible for providing responses to the queries submitted by the US Core Requestors. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by US Core Servers are defined. Systems implementing this capability statement should meet the ONC 2015 Common Clinical Data Set (CCDS) access requirement for Patient Selection 170.315(g)(7) and Application Access - Data Category Request 170.315(g)(8) and and the latest proposed ONC [U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)]. 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 Server SHALL:

Support the US Core Patient resource profile.
Support at least one additional resource profile from the list of US Core Profiles.
Implement the RESTful behavior according to the FHIR specification.
Return the following response classes:
- (Status 400): invalid parameter
- (Status 401/4xx): unauthorized request
- (Status 403): insufficient scope
- (Status 404): unknown resource
- (Status 410): deleted resource.
Support json source formats for all US Core interactions.

The US Core Server SHOULD:

Support xml source formats for all US Core interactions.
Identify the US Core profiles supported as part of the FHIR meta.profile attribute for each instance.
Support xml resource formats for all Argonaut questionnaire interactions.

Security:

See the General Security Considerations section for requirements and recommendations.
A server SHALL reject any unauthorized requests by returning an HTTP 401 unauthorized response code.

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.
