AS 4700.6:2013 pdf free.Implementation of Health Level Seven (HL7) Version 2.5
The Standard provides consistent use of data definitions and takes cognizance of definitions used by or in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the National Health Data Dictionary (NHDD), the National Association of Testing Authorities Australia, and The General Practice Computing Group and its General Practice Data Model and Core Dataset (co-sponsored with the Australian Department of Health and Ageing).
This Standard deals with representation of clinical information for the purposes of sharing and transferring patient care. There may be additional administrative,financial, and eligibility aspects of referral, which are outside the scope of this Standard, and have been excluded.
The message structure described in this Standard is intended to communicate information from one clinical provider or organization to another (potentially via a shared electronic health record), and should be used wherever there is a complete or partial transfer of care,as occurs on discharge from a hospital or other care provider. Where used for transfer of care, the message will typically contain referral details as well as a discharge or other event summary. Relevant definitions are included in Clause 4.
This Standard is applicable across clinical domains,and is intended to be used for communication between providers and organizations with different information models and datasets. This will present a challenge to the exchange of structured clinical information,which will be required for a richer utilization of health information. Such a level of semantic exchange will enable processing aimed at supporting clinical decision making for optimal health outcomes. It is for this purpose that the referral message has been designed to include, optionally, segments covering the more complex clinical situations reflected in Problems, Goals, and Pathways. It is not, however, dependent on standardized clinical datasets, and is therefore immediately applicable.
This message is a general clinical communication, which carries health record information,including past history, family history, allergies, medications and medication history, social status, problem, goal and other management details as well as the requested services, which constitute the reason for referral.AS 4700.6 pdf free download.
