CSD - Find matching services - ITI-73
PIX Query - ITI-9
Optionally, the MHD profile can be supported (in addition or instead of XDS.b) to enable PoC systems to query clinical content using a simpler and more modern FHIR-based approach. This option may be supported in two ways:
The SHR itself may support the required MHD transactions.
(recommended) The IL can provide an adapter to convert incoming MHD transactions to XDS.b transactions for the SHR to process as normal.
Assumptions and Prerequisites
The PoS system must ensure the patient they are querying clinical information about already exists. It can do this by querying for the patient (Query patients workflow).
The PoS 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 SHR MUST be able to generate on-demand documents in the XDS-MS format using the data it stored in the save patient-level clinical data workflow. Optionally, any other sections that have been discretely imported and are deemed useful may be added to the generated XDS-MS document.
Actors
PoS - The point of care system that captures a patient's clinical encounter, it is responsible for sending clinical data on to the HIE.
IL - Mediates the transactions between the PoS system and the infrastructure services to facilitate easier interoperability.
CR - The source of truth for patient demographic and identifier detail. It is able to be queried using an identifier to find the enterprise identifier for a particular person.
FR - The source of truth for facility information. It is able to be queried for details about a particular facility by ID.
SHR - Stored patients clinical information. It is able to receive and store patient clinical documents.
