Interaction IDs

A list of GP Connect API interaction IDs

GP Connect Interaction ID naming policy

All new interaction IDs follow the following format:

  • urn:nhs:names:services:[programme]:[capability]:[standard]:[mechanism]:[operation]:[subject]

Many of the existing interaction IDs follow the older format, which omits the [capability] delimeter:

  • urn:nhs:names:services:[programme]:[standard]:[mechanism]:[operation]:[subject]

Where the fields above are defined as:

  • Programme = gpconnect
  • Capability = [ structured, documents ]
  • Standard = fhir
  • Mechanism = [ rest, operation ]
    • rest for RESTful API interactions
    • operation for custom Operation API interactions
  • Operation
    • RESTful style = [ create, read, update, delete, search ] + any more specific actions (for example, cancel)
    • Extended operation = [ gpc.getcarerecord, gpc.registerpatient ]
  • Subject = [ resourceType, operationName ]
    • Resource Type is the name of a FHIR resource, such as Patient, Appointment, Organization
    • Operation Name is the name of a extended operation, such as gpc.getcarerecord
