Topic: New Zealand specific FHIR profile for patient access?

Hi kiwi's !
As part of the International Patient Access project (not the same as the similarly abbreviated IPS project), we're identifying and documenting the national or regional FHIR IGs/profiles that have been created to enable patient access to their health data.
Does New Zealand have such a thing? I'm browsing y'all's simplifier specs -- and it looks like the FHIR NZ Base profiles are the closest. Is this right?

Hi @Isaac Vetter - we haven't defined any profiles yet in the NZ Base IG. The first release only has extensions, identifiers and terminology. We'll be starting on national profiles in the next release. However, the issue of patient access is most likely to be tackled in a new project that's just started to create an NZ derivation of the IPS and hopefully that will consider the IPA project.
