Standard 2: Safety and quality systems – Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027)

Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 2.05: Interoperable information systems: use national healthcare identifiers for patients, organisations and providers, apply standard information structures and national terminologies including the SPIA guidelines, align with jurisdictional and industry interoperability standards such as the Australian HL7 diagnostic messaging standard, and have processes to adopt new versions and standards as they emerge

What does 2.05 require?

Information systems are built to interoperate. They carry the national identifiers for the patient, the organisation and each individual provider; they apply standard structures and national terminologies, including those set out in the SPIA guidelines from the RCPA; and they conform to the jurisdictional and industry standards for storing and sending data, the Australian localisation of HL7 version 2.4 for diagnostic messaging being the current floor, with a process for taking up newer versions or new standards (FHIR-based messaging where interfacing parties agree) as they arrive.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 1.15-1.18 The organisation knows the diversity and higher-risk groups among its consumers and plans care accordingly, keeps healthcare records available at the point of care, accurate, secure, auditable and integrated, and works towards and governs contributions to the My Health Record system

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
