This 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.

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 the ONC U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 3 July 2022. 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.

This operation is used to return all the references to documents related to a patient. It is invoked on a FHIR Server’s DocumentReference endpoint (e.g., [base]/DocumentReference/$docref) and operates across all DocumentReference instances.

The operation requires a patient id and takes the optional input parameters:

• start date
• end date
• document type
• on-demand
• profile

and returns a searchset Bundle containing DocumentReference resources for the patient. If the server has stored documents or can create documents for the patient and those documents are available for the user, the server returns the DocumentReference resources associated with documents. This operation’s intended use is to provide a way for providers or patients to access their available documents. The document itself can be subsequently retrieved using the link provided in the DocumentReference.content.attachment.url element. The link could be a FHIR endpoint to a Binary Resource or some other document repository.

This operation is different from a FHIR RESTful query on DocumentReference by patient and type and date range because:

1. It is used to request a server to generate a document based on the specified parameters.

2. If no parameters are specified, the server SHALL return a DocumentReference to the patient’s current C-CDA CCD.

3. If the server cannot generate a document based on the specified parameters, the operation will return an empty search bundle.

Unless the client indicates they are only interested in ‘on-demand’ documents using the on-demand parameter, the server SHOULD return DocumentReference instances for existing documents that meet the request parameters In this regard, this operation is similar to a FHIR RESTful query.

The US Core Condition Encounter Diagnosis Profile is based upon the core FHIR Condition Resource and meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 Encounter Diagnosis requirements. In version 5.0.0, The US Core Condition Profile has been split into the US Core Condition Encounter Diagnosis Profile and US Core Condition Problems and Health Concerns Profile. To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile defines constraints and extensions on the Condition resource for the minimal set of data to record, search, and fetch information about an encounter diagnosis. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.

The US Core Condition Problems and Health Concerns Profile is based upon the core FHIR Condition Resource and meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 ‘Problems’ and ‘Health Concerns’ requirements and SDOH ‘Problems/Health Concerns’ requirements.
