Example Usage Scenarios:

The following are example usage scenarios for this profile:

• Query by organization name or NPI

Mandatory and Must Support Data Elements

The following data elements must always be present (Mandatory definition) or must be supported if the data is present in the sending system (Must Support definition). They are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and examples are provided as well. The Formal Views below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Each Organization Must Have:

1. A status of the organization (i.e., whether it is still active )
2. A name

Each Organization Must Support:

1. An identifier*
2. A list of contact information
3. An address*

*see guidance below

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance:

• *Systems SHALL support National Provider Identifier (NPI) for organizations and SHOULD support Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) for laboratories and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners NAIC Company code (sometimes called “NAIC Number” or “cocode”) for payers.
• * Systems SHOULD follow the Project US@ Technical Specification for Patient Addresses Final Version 1.0 as the standard style guide for Organization.address.line and  Organization.address.city.

This structure is derived from Organization

Summary

Mandatory: 2 elements
Must-Support: 15 elements

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

• The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Organization.identifier

Maturity: 3

Quick Start

Below is an overview of the required Server RESTful FHIR interactions for this profile - for example, search and read operations - when supporting the US Core interactions to access this profile’s information (Profile Support + Interaction Support). Note that systems that support only US Core Profiles (Profile Only Support) are not required to support these interactions. See the US Core Server CapabilityStatement for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

• See the Scopes Format section for a description of the SMART scopes syntax.
• See the Search Syntax section for a description of the US Core search syntax.
• See the General Requirements section for additional rules and expectations when a server requires status parameters.
• See the General Guidance section for additional guidance on searching for multiple patients.

US Core Scopes

Servers providing access to organization data SHALL support these US Core SMART Scopes:

• resource level scopes: <patient|user|system>/Organization.rs

Mandatory Search Parameters:

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported:

1. SHALL support searching by organization name using the name search parameter:

   GET [base]/Organization?name=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Organization?name=Health

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Organization resources that match the name (how to search by string)

2. SHALL support searching organization based on text address using the address search parameter:

   GET [base]/Organization?address=[string]

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/Organization?address=Arbor

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Organization resources that match the address string (how to search by string)
