This document summarises the requirements for producing and consuming systems of the Specialist Letter clinical document (“Specialist Letter”) when connecting to the national My Health Record (MHR) system.
These conformance requirements are in addition to the Clinical Documents –Common Conformance Profile [AGENCY2014]. Together, these two conformance profile documents represent the complete conformance requirements for the Specialist Letter.

The Specialist Letter Structured Content Specification [AGENCY2011] and the Specialist Letter CDA Implementation Guide [AGENCY2012a] include either mandatory or conditional conformance requirements for applicable data elements related to the inclusion of HPI-Is when producing a specialist letter.
However, these mandatory or conditional requirements for the HPI-I are temporarily modified. For more information, download the Specialist Letter My Health Record Conformance Profile below.
