Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **FHIR Sync Process:** The Australia release introduces an automated FHIR sync process that operates on a scheduled job running an orchestration subflow. This subflow imports four FHIR resources (Organization, Location, Practitioner, PractitionerRole) in a dependency order and upserts them into the Healthcare Operations data model, keyed by the FHIR resource ID. * **Initial and Delta Loads:** The first sync performs a full data load. Subsequent syncs use timestamps from the previous successful run as a watermark, importing only changed resources, optimizing data synchronization. * **Monitoring and Troubleshooting:** Each sync run generates a FHIR Sync Log entry per resource type, detailing status, processed and skipped record counts, and a correlation ID. This facilitates efficient tracking and troubleshooting of sync activities. ## Key Functional Enhancements * Organizations imported through the FHIR sync are classified as internal or external business locations using an editable decision table, allowing configurable categorization aligned with organizational needs. * The sync process keeps Healthcare Operations organizations, business locations, practitioners, and care-team memberships synchronized with a FHIR R4 server automatically, removing the need for manual maintenance. ## Activation and Dependencies * EMR Provider Directory Sync Sync can be installed by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store. * The application depends on the HL7 FHIR Spoke, Healthcare Operations, and Healthcare and Life Sciences data-model applications. Customers should review prerequisites for the FHIR integration to ensure all dependencies are met before upgrade. ## Additional Notes * There were no changes, removals, or deprecations between Zurich and Australia releases for this application. * There are no updated browser, accessibility, or localization requirements for the Australia release. * Customers should review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks as part of their upgrade plan.
