Argonaut Scheduling Conformance Requirements

This section outlines conformance requirements for the Argonaut Scheduling Servers application, identifying the specific profiles that need to be supported, the specific RESTful operations that need to be supported, and the search parameters that need to be supported. Note: The individual Argonaut Scheduling profiles identify the structural constraints, terminology bindings and invariants, however, implementers must refer to the conformance requirements for details on the RESTful operations, specific profiles and the search parameters applicable to each of the Argonaut Scheduling actors.

Conformance requirements for the Argonaut Scheduling Implementation Guide Server

• FHIR Version: 3.0.1
• Supported formats: xml, json
• Published: March 20, 2018
• Published by: The Argonaut Project

The Section describes the expected Capabilities of the Argonaut Scheduling Scheduling Server which is responsible for providing responses to the requests submitted by the Argonaut Scheduling Clients. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by Argonaut Scheduling Servers are defined.

Behavior

Description:

The Argonaut Scheduling Server SHALL:

1. Support at least one Argonaut Scheduling patient or provider use case.
2. Implement the RESTful behavior according to the FHIR specification including returning the appropriate response classes as described in the FHIR specification for FHIR RESTful API and Extended Operations on the RESTful API.
3. Conform to the US Core Implementation Guiide.
4. Support json resource formats for all Argonaut Scheduling interactions.
5. Declare a CapabilityStatement identifying the list of profiles, operations, search parameter supported.

The Argonaut Scheduling Server SHOULD:

1. Support xml resource formats for all Argonaut Scheduling interactions.
2. Identify the Argonaut Scheduling profiles supported as part of the FHIR meta.profile attribute for each instance.

Security:

For general security consideration refer to the Security section in the US Core Implementation Guide.

Profile Interaction Summary:

Specific server capabilities are described in detail in each of the resource sections below.

Resource Type	Supported Profiles	Supported Interactions
Appointment	Argonaut Appointment Profile	read, search, patch, $find, $hold, $book
Bundle	Argonaut Appointment Bundle Profile, Argonaut Slot Bundle Profile
Coverage	Argonaut Coverage Profile	create, update
Patient	US Core Patient Profile	search, create
Schedule	Argonaut Schedule Notification Profile
