Query Patient-level Clinical Data Workflow

The transaction queries for previously stored clinical data for a specific patient. The following sequence diagram shows the steps involved in this transaction.

Workflow Maturity

Mature

  • One or more OpenHIE implementations of this workflow exist in one or more countries

  • Workflow is defined and ARB approved

  • Workflow is supported by mature standards

Standards*

  • XDS.b with the on-demand document option

  • CDA documents profiled by IHE PCC

  • 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

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.

Interaction Description

The following is a description of the interaction steps.
