Assumptions and Prerequisites
  • The Point-of-Service system is a trusted application known by the HIE and it is registered with the interoperability layer to be able to send and receive data securely (Common message security workflow).
  • The Patient to be updated is assumed to already exist in the Client Registry.
Actors
  • PoS - The point of care system that captures patient identifiers, is responsible for sending the identifiers to the HIE.
  • IL - Mediates the transactions between the PoS system and the Client Registry.
  • CR - Manages patient demographics and identifier details.
