The Basic Audit Log Patterns (BALP) Implementation Guide is a Content Profile that defines some basic and reusable AuditEvent patterns. This includes basic audit log profiles for FHIR RESTful operations to be used when there is not a more specific audit event defined. A focus is on enabling Privacy centric AuditEvent logs that hold well-formed indication of the Patient when they are the subject of the activity being recorded in the log. Where a more specific audit event can be defined, it should be derived off of these basic patterns.

Conformance Expectations

IHE uses the normative words Shall, Should, and May according to standards conventions.

Must Support

The use of mustSupport in StructureDefinition profiles equivalent to the IHE use of R2 as defined in Appendix Z.

mustSupport of true - only has a meaning on items that are minimal cardinality of zero (0), and applies only to the source actor populating the data. The source actor shall populate the elements marked with MustSupport, if the concept is supported by the actor, a value exists, and security and consent rules permit. The consuming actors should handle these elements being populated or being absent/empty. Note that sometimes mustSupport will appear on elements with a minimal cardinality greater than zero (0), this is due to inheritance from a less constrained profile.

Cross Version Analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed from R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (ihe.iti.balp.r4) and R4B (ihe.iti.balp.r4b) are available.
