description: The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) is the Australian Government statutory agency responsible for national
  digital health infrastructure and standards. It operates and stewards My Health Record (the national shared health record),
  the Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service, the National Authentication Service for Health (NASH) PKI, electronic prescribing,
  and the National Clinical Terminology Service (NCTS). ADHA publishes machine-readable APIs for connecting conformant clinical
  software to these national systems, centred on HL7 FHIR (R4) alongside legacy HL7 CDA document exchange. Its developer surface
  spans the My Health Record FHIR Gateway (B2B and Mobile), the NCTS FHIR terminology server and Atom syndication feed (SNOMED
  CT-AU, AMT, LOINC), and conformance profiles for electronic prescribing. Home market is Australia. Authentication to the
  national record systems uses NASH SHA-2 PKI certificates (mutual TLS), while the NCTS terminology server uses SMART-on-FHIR
  OAuth2. Production onboarding is gated behind registration, conformance testing, and PKI issuance; ADHA aligns to the AU
  Base / AU Core FHIR implementation guides stewarded through HL7 Australia and the Sparked national FHIR accelerator.

  name: My Health Record FHIR Gateway (B2B)
  description: The business-to-business FHIR Gateway for connecting conformant clinical software to the My Health Record national
    shared health record. Exposes FHIR-based read and upload interactions for clinical documents, mapping between HL7 CDA
    implementation guides and FHIR resources. Access is authenticated with NASH SHA-2 PKI certificates over mutual TLS and
    requires registration and conformance testing.
