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

This profile defines the expected capabilities of the Research Query Requester 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 Requester.

General

FHIR Version:	$ver$
Supported formats:	json and xml

REST behavior

The Research Query Requester SHALL implement REST behavior according to the FHIR specification. The Research Query Requester SHALL support both json and xml resource formats for all DAF interactions. The Research Query Requester SHALL identify the DAF profile(s) supported as part of the FHIR BaseResource.Meta.profile attribute for each instance. The Research Query Requester SHALL declare a Conformance statement and identify the list of profiles, operations, search parameters supported.

Security:

Research Query Requester are advised to implement security requirements according to their existing protocols for executing research queries. However Research Query Requesters implementing DAF-Core IG can reuse their security protocols for query execution purposes as applicable.
