Care Coordination and 360 Referrals (Proof of Concept) - Local Development build (v0.1.0) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: Referral Request

Official URL: https://fhir.acmeexample.org.uk/PatientCareCoordination/StructureDefinition/ReferralRequest Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-11-03 Computable Name: ReferralRequest

Referral - the request from the Referral Initiator to the Referral Recipient (Referral Request [PCC-55]). Equivalent to HL7 v2 OMG^O19 (360X) or REF_I12 and the eRS ServiceRequest; BaRS referrals are mapped onto it (see BaRS). Also used for referrals to a virtual ward.

FDP Canonical Data Model

Equivalent FDP Canonical Data Model (CDM) v1.0.0 objects: Referral, UEC Referral, eRS Service.

Differences:

  • Identifiers: CDM referralId, sourceUniqueId and ubrn carry no identifier type or assigning organisation, so the Referral Initiator's (placer) Referral ID is not distinguished - this profile slices identifier into the Referral ID (PLAC, assigner ODS) and UBRN.
  • Supporting information: the CDM holds the referral letter (referralLetterContent, referralLetterRid) and notes; this profile references structured information and forms (supportingInfo, reasonReference).
  • Onward and replacement referrals: no CDM basedOn / replaces; redirection is triage outcome text.
  • Workflow state: the CDM keeps it on the referral (status); this guide keeps it on the Referral Task.
  • Represented well: reason (presentingComplaintSnomedCtCode, primaryReferralReasonCode), priority, referrer and provider ODS codes, treatment function, booking dates.

The CDM is a downstream persistence model, used here as evidence of what NHS operations record, not as a design source. Mapping by property name - To confirm. See FDP Canonical Data Model Mapping for the full mapping.
