NRLS Record Locator Service
The FHIR resource profiles within this DMS have been created to support the National Record Locator Service interface:
National Record Locator Service (NRLS) Register- FHIR resource profiles to register the availability of a record.
National Record Locator Service (NRLS) Discover- FHIR resource profiles to discover if a record exists.
National Record Locator Service (NRLS) Removal- FHIR resource profiles to remove/delete an existing record.
Base Resources
Implementers of the NRLS FHIR Messaging interface are required to support the following optional Base Resource elements (and properties) which are defined for all NRLS resources within this DMS:
1. Resource Identity:
Each resource has an "id" element which contains the logical identity of the resource assigned by the server responsible for storing it.
2. Resource Metadata:
Each FHIR resource profile contains an element "meta", of type "Meta", which is a set of metadata that provides technical and workflow context to the resource.
| Metadata Item | Type | Usage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| profile (0..*) | [uri] | This defines resource profiles that are described in the NRLS FHIR RESTful section of the DMS e.g. NRLS-DocumentReference-1-0 http://fhir.nhs.net/StructureDefinition/nrls-documentreference-1-0 |
