Referral Profile

BaseServiceRequest (constraint)
SourceFSH · JSON

Defines the Nexus EMR FHIR profile for referrals: a request that another clinician or service accept the patient, for consultation, second opinion, or ongoing management. Aligned to the pan-Canadian CA-eReC / Ontario eReferral contract, which is the shape Nexus already exchanges with Ocean. Distinct from NexusEmrCoreServiceRequest, which governs laboratory, imaging and procedure ORDERS and fixes intent to order.

TypedFhir API / C#

The typed accessor surface ServiceRequest exposes for ServiceRequest — generated from this IG's compiled profile; each typed accessor has a validating raw-FHIR twin (xRaw) where marked. The three ports are parity-enforced.
