Australian Core Data for Interoperability Release 1

This document outlines the contents of the Australian Core Data for Interoperability (AUCDI) and provides insights into the context of its development. The AUCDI is changing the approach to health data and is set to become a national asset focused on establishing an independent base of reusable, standardised information models and related artefacts. As clinical systems converge their internal data structures towards AUCDI, this common, consensus-based data foundation will reduce the need for data transformations and mappings, supporting safer and simpler interoperability.

The intended audience of this document is stakeholders interested in improving health data interoperability in Australia. This includes consumers, clinical and technical subject matter experts, healthcare organisations, peak bodies, technology and software industry partner organisations, jurisdictions, and government organisations.
