Published: 2016-08-10

Published by: U.S. Office of the National Coordinator (ONC)

This profile defines the expected capabilities of the Research Query Responder actor when conforming to the DAF-Research IG. The statement includes the complete list of actual profiles, RESTful operations, search parameters supported by a Research Query Responder.

General

FHIR Version:	STU3
Supported formats:	json and xml

REST behavior

The Research Query Responder SHALL implement REST behavior according to the FHIR specification. The Research Query Responder SHALL use either US-Core or DAF-Research profiles as needed to create query results. The Research Query Responder SHALL support both json and xml resource formats for all DAF interactions. The Research Query Responder SHALL identify the DAF profile(s) supported as part of the FHIR BaseResource.Meta.profile attribute for each instance. The Research Query Responder SHALL declare a Capability statement and identify the list of profiles, operations, search parameters supported.

Security:

Research Query Responder are advised to implement security requirements according to their existing protocols for query execution and returning results. However Research Query Responders implementing US-Core IG SHOULD reuse US-Core security protocols for data access as applicable. Research Query Responders SHOULD honour patient's data disclosure polices.
