Summary

Cross-Community Patient Discovery (XCPD) - supports the means to locate communities which hold patient relevant health data and the translation of patient identifiers across communities holding the same patient’s data.

Benefits

  • supports the means to locate communities which hold patient relevant health data
  • translation of patient identifiers across communities holding the same patient’s data.

Details

The Cross-Community Patient Discovery (XCPD) profile supports the means to locate communities which hold patient relevant health data and the translation of patient identifiers across communities holding the same patient’s data. A community is defined as a group of facilities/enterprises that have agreed to work together using a common set of policies for the purpose of sharing health information within the community via an established mechanism. Facilities/enterprises may host any type of healthcare application such as EHR, PHR, etc. A community is identifiable by a globally unique id called the homeCommunityId. Membership of a facility/enterprise in one community does not preclude it from being a member in another community. Such communities may be XDS Affinity Domains which define document sharing using the XDS profile or any other communities, no matter what their internal sharing structure.

Options

The following modes are supported and are intended

  • Normal (synchronous)
    • the SOAP request and response are carried in one TCP/IP connection
      • Response is expected in very short timeframe, e.g. less than 60 seconds
  • Asynchronous
    • where the WS-Addressing support for “replyTo” is used to return the response through a separate TCP/IP connection
      • Response is expected in short timeframe, e.g. less than 60 minutes
  • Deferred
    • where the request is decoupled from the reply so each are a separate SOAP interaction (Section 3.55.6.2)
      • Response is expected to have lengthy delay, e.g. more than 60 minutes
