The purpose of this document is to provide an implementable technical interface specification for searching and obtaining templates from the Template Service.
The Template Service enables implementers and systems to obtain standardised specifications for clinical documents to be exchanged within the Australian healthcare community. It is responsible for managing and storing the data representations associated with all of the data formats stored within a My Health Record, but can also store specifications for clinical documents not associated with a My Health Record.
The Template Service does not handle clinical information, and does not provide services to validate instances of documents created using templates obtained from the Template Service.
