In particular, an implementer must provide the technical infrastructure and security framework necessary to support operations in accordance with law, regulation, best practices and business agreements. |
T 23 | HITSP Patient Demographics Query Transaction
The Patient Demographics Query Transaction is intended to provide a ‘list patients and their demographics’ query / ‘patient(s) and their demographics identified’ response message pair (QBP^Q22, RSP^K22) for use wherever such needs exist. This Transaction document extracts the Health Level Seven (HL7) version 2.5 Query and Response data mapping. The underlying basis for this extraction can be found in the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise IT Infrastructure Technical Framework, Patient Demographics Query integration profile. |
T 24 | HITSP Pseudonymize Transaction
The Pseudonymize Transaction describes a framework for including Pseudonymization Services where the use of “dummy” or pseudo references to specific patients or providers is requred. Pseudo-identifiers are intended to allow accessibility to clinical information, while safeguarding any information that may compromise the privacy of the individual patient or provider. Using pseudo-identifiers can assist in compliance with HIPAA regulations regarding suppression of patient identification information. |
T 29 | HITSP Notification of Document Availability Transaction
The NAV Integration Profile introduces a mechanism allowing notifications to be sent point-to-point to systems within a Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing Affinity Domain (See “IHE IT Infrastructure Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) Integration Profile”), eliminating the need for manual steps or polling mechanisms for a Document Consumer to be aware that documents of interest have been registered with an XDS Document Registry Actor. |
T 31 | Document Reliable Interchange
The Document Reliable Interchange Transaction provides a standards-based mechanism for conveying a set of medical documents in a point-to-point network-based communication. This Transaction uses the IHE Cross-Enterprise Document Reliable Interchange (XDR) Integration Profile, a companion to the IHE Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) Integration Profile. Cross-Enterprise Document Reliable Interchange (XDR) uses the XDS defined metadata formats in a simpler environment in which the communicating parties have agreed to a point-to-point interchange rather than communicating via document sharing. |
T 33 | HITSP Transfer of Documents on Media Transaction
The Transfer of Documents on Media Transaction describes both the type of media (CD-ROM, USB Memory, and e-Mail) that may be used to write the documents and provides a directory structure that must be followed in order for the contents to be successfully accessed and processed by systems. An example might be to transport data from one healthcare provider to another healthcare provider, or a healthcare consumer may wish to move the contents of a Personal Health Record (PHR) using physical media or e-Mail. This Transaction uses the IHE Cross-Enterprise Document Media Interchange Integration Profile developed by Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE), a companion to the IHE Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) Integration Profile. |
