Sparked Scope

Sparked will deliver the following products and services during the two-year program.


The AUCDI is changing the approach to health data and is set to become a national asset focused on creating an independent foundation of reusable, standardised information models and related artefacts.

The AUeReqDI builds upon the work and community of Australian Core Data for Interoperability (AUCDI) and focuses on the use case of electronic requesting and ordering. 

  • Implementable standard for FHIR based interfaces for provider and patient information systems in Australia
  • Data model and RESTful API interactions that set minimum expectations for a system to record, update, search, and retrieve core digital health and administrative information associated with a patient
  • Standardise exchange of core clinical information through FHIR Implementation Guide
  • Useful in many interactions, easy to implement, supports use case specialisation for clinical workflows without requiring redevelopment of the core

More information is available on the development of the AU Core FHIR Implementation Guide R1 and the AU Core Technical Design Group

The current build of the AU eRequesting FHIR Implementation Guide R1 is available at AU Core Implementation Guide v0.4.0-ci-build
