These profiles are derived from a subset of profiles described in the following implementation guides:

The profile descriptions and additional guidance provided in the Pathology FHIR Implementation Guide must be read in conjunction with these referenced implementation guides, together with the base FHIR R4 Specification.

Refer to How to Construct Bundles for a description of how the profiles may be used to form FHIR Bundles for test reporting.

Refer to the Design Overview section for supporting information, including a description of the Pathology FHIR data model and the design approach that has been adopted as part of this implementation guide.
