AUeReqDI Release 1

AUeReqDI Release 1 (R1) is focused on electronic pathology and medical imaging requests in primary and community-based care provision.

The R1 scope of AUeReqDI includes:

  • Service request;
  • Medical imaging request;
  • Pathology test request;
  • Implanted medical device summary;
  • Adverse reaction risk summary (from AUCDI);
  • Problem/diagnosis summary (from AUCDI); and
  • Sex and gender (from AUCDI)

The focus of the AUeReqDI is the representation of the clinical content required for each of the data groups. System information, or system-derived information, is deliberately excluded from the scope of AUeReqDI unless it is also of clinically significant and requires clinical validation. Information related to technical aspects of recording data (such as author and record date/timestamp) will be managed in the technical implementation specifications (e.g., FHIR IG).

The R1 scope of AUeReqDI R1 does not include:

  • Administrative, workflow and billing information;
  • Higher-level technical concepts such as security, access, privacy, and consent;
  • Non-clinical recording context such as author, location, patient; or
  • MBS workflow items like self-determined and rule 3 exemptions.

AUeReqDI R1 also does not address user interface or form implementation requirements. These have been left to the responsibility of other specifications such as the AU eRequesting FHIR IG.
