### Background

The STARS network provides restricted sample submission. This implementation guide outlines the requirements for users to implement a common standard FHIR protocol to transfer specimen information between laboratories for the purpose of testing.

This verison has been built to the R5.0.0 build of FHIR.

### Workflow

Basic outline of sending and receiving [Workflow](workflow.md).

### Message Format

The message format has been refreshed and is based on the opend FHIR standard leading to more compatibility between systems.

### STARS Client

The STARS Client has been refreshed inline with the stars-api project. [stars-client](stars-client.md)

### STARS Api

The api is the preferred connection method for better integration your your LIMS. [stars-api](stars-api.md)

### Profiles

See more detailed specifics for CSV fields, FHIR Profiles, ConceptMaps and ValueSets on [Profile - ServiceRequest](servicerequest.md) and [Profile - DiagnosticReport](diagnosticreport.md). The [Artifact Summary](artifacts.md) gives an in depth description for the expectations of each field within the process.

### Terminology

The FHIR system is built to take advantage of standardised terminology lists hosted on an ontology server.

A dedicated Ontoserver has been implemented for the purpose of creating and hosting custom user codesystems and value sets. This will be utilised for developing concept maps linked to standardised terminology lists (e.g. SNOMED, LONIC).

Initial setup of the Ontoserver will take advantage of the exisiting STARS legacy terminology sets as the core of the terminology server.

### Migrating

See the [Migration Guide](migrating.md) for direction and testing plans to get ready to migrate.

### Downloads

[downloads](downloads.md)

### FHIR Shorthand Resources

This guide has been automatically built using FHIR Shorthand to define a standard set of required fields that form a profile schema for specimen transmission.
