    Notably, there are no updates or changes for most sections in either Zurich or Australia releases, except for new features introduced in Australia.

    Key Features

    • FHIR Sync Functionality: The Australia release introduces an automated FHIR synchronization process using a scheduled job that runs an orchestration subflow. This process imports four FHIR resources—Organization, Location, Practitioner, and PractitionerRole—in dependency order and upserts them into the Healthcare Operations data model keyed by the FHIR resource ID.
    • Incremental Syncs: After the initial full load, subsequent sync runs use the timestamp of the last successful run as a watermark to import only updated or changed resources, optimizing data freshness and efficiency.
    • Sync Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Each sync run creates detailed FHIR Sync Log entries per resource type, recording status, counts of processed and skipped records, and a shared correlation ID. This enables administrators to track and diagnose sync operations effectively.
    • Organization Classification: Imported organizations are classified as internal or external business locations using a configurable decision table, allowing for flexible business logic application.
    • Scheduled Daily Imports: The sync process runs on a configurable daily schedule to maintain up-to-date provider directory data without manual intervention.

    Activation and Dependencies

    • To activate EMR Provider Directory Sync Sync in the Australia release, customers must request the application 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 the prerequisites for the FHIR integration to ensure compatibility.

    Additional Notes

    • No changes were made to browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or highlight information between Zurich and Australia releases.
    • No features were removed or deprecated in this upgrade.
    • Customers should review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks as needed to ensure a smooth transition.

    How the FHIR sync works
    A scheduled job runs an orchestration subflow that imports the four FHIR resources in dependency order and upserts them into the Healthcare Operations data model, keyed on the FHIR resource ID.
    Run the initial load
    After the initial full load, each run uses the previous successful run's timestamp as a watermark to import only resources changed since then.
    Monitor and troubleshoot FHIR sync runs
    Each run records one FHIR Sync Log row per resource type, with status, processed and skipped counts, and a shared correlation ID, so admins can monitor and troubleshoot syncs.
