+https://oehf.github.io/ipf-docs/
-'''Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD)''' profile defines a simple HTTP interface to a [[Document Sharing]] environment. The MHD profile is intended for any system that prefers the simplified HTTP RESTful technology rather than the more robust technology used in XDS. It defines transactions to
-# submit a set of documents and metadata from the mobile device to a document receiver,
-# find the document submission set metadata based on query parameters;
-# find document entries containing metadata based on query parameters, and
-# retrieve a copy of a specific document.
-These transactions leverage the document content and format agnostic metadata concepts from XDS, but simplify them for access by constrained environments such as mobile devices, or other resource constrained systems. The MHD profile does not replace XDS.  It can be used to allow mobile devices, or other resource constrained systems, access to an XDS health information exchange. The following figure shows one possible way to implement MHD with a document sharing environment (that may, but is not necessarily, XDS based). This implementation choice is not mandatory and we recognize other architectures will be implemented.
-==Benefits==
-'''RESTful interface to XDS and other Document Sharing environments'''
-The Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) Profile defines one standardized interface to health documents (a.k.a. an Application Programming Interface (API)) for use by mobile devices so that deployment of mobile applications is more consistent and reusable. The transactions defined here leverage the document content- and format-agnostic metadata concepts from XDS, but simplify them for access in constrained environments including mobile devices. The MHD Profile does not replace XDS. Mobile devices, and other resource-constrained systems, can use MHD to access to an XDS Repository. The following figure shows one possible way to implement MHD within a document sharing environment (that may be, but is not necessarily, XDS-based). This implementation choice is not mandatory and we recognize other architectures will be implemented.
-The XDS Profile has separated Document Registry and Document Repository to support the needs of Cross-Enterprise deployment architectures and enable robustness, security, privacy, and interoperability. The MHD Profile has simplified the interactions in ways that are more consistent with use within a single policy domain. MHD transactions are not specifically tied to XDS; some of the system implementations envisioned may interface directly to an organizational EHR, or a multi-national PHR.
-The MHD Profile supports a broad set of XDS use cases and functionality while keeping the technology as simple as possible. MHD focuses on a useful subset of the XDS use cases and does not try to reproduce the full scalability, flexibility, privacy, or security supported by the more robust XDS infrastructure. The following are examples of environments which may choose the MHD Profile over the XDS Profile:
-* Medical devices such as those targeted by the Patient Care Devices (PCD) domain or Continua organization, submitting data in the form of documents.
-* Kiosks used by patients in hospital registration departments, where it is anticipated that a hospital staff member will review, edit, and approve the document before it is allowed into the hospital system.
-* PHR publishing into a staging area for subsequent import into an EHR or HIE.
-* Patient or provider application that is configured to securely connect to a PHR in order to submit a medical history document. (For example BlueButton+)
-* Electronic measurement device participating in an XDW workflow and pulling medical history documents from an HIE.
-* A General Practitioner physician’s office with minimal IT capabilities using a mobile application to connect to an HIE or EHR.
-==Details==
-Applications specific to resource-constrained and mobile devices are an emerging platform for healthcare-enhancing software. The MHD Profile is not limited to mobile devices, using the term “mobile” only as a grouping for mobile applications, mobile devices or any other systems that are resource and platform-constrained. These constraints may drive the implementer to use simpler network interface technology. There are numerous deployed implementations of Document Sharing that need a simpler network interface technology, for example those hosted by a Health Information Exchange (HIE), large health provider electronic health record (EHR), or personal health record (PHR).
-The Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) Profile defines one standardized interface to health documents (a.k.a. an Application Programming Interface (API)) for use by mobile devices so that deployment of mobile applications is more consistent and reusable. In this context, mobile devices include tablets, smartphones, and embedded devices including home-health devices. This profile is also applicable to more capable systems where needs are simple, such as pulling the latest summary for display. The critical aspects of the ‘mobile device’ are that it is resource-constrained, has a simple programming environment (e.g., JSON, JavaScript), simple protocol stack (e.g., HTTP), and simple display functionality (e.g., HTML browser). The goal is, in part, to avoid burdening the client with additional libraries such as those that are necessary to process SOAP, WSSE, MIME-Multipart, MTOM/XOP, ebRIM, and multi-depth XML.
-The Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) Profile defines one pair of actors and a transaction to submit or push new “document entries” from the mobile device to a receiving system. Another set of actors and transactions is used to query a list of “document entries” having specific metadata, and to retrieve a document.
-This profile leverages the metadata concepts from XDS, but simplifies the transaction requirements for access by mobile devices.
-The MHD Profile does not replace XDS. Rather, it enables simplified access by mobile devices to an XDS (or a similar) document management environment containing health information.
-===Options===
-Two options are defined
-* Comprehensive Metadata -- Indicates that the actors will abide by the XDS definition of metadata cardinality (not minimal metadata)
-* XDS on FHIR -- Indicates that the actors are expecting XDS implementation behind the Document Responder and Document Recipient.
-===Proxy Service===
-One deployment model is to use the MHD as a FHIR based API to XDS, thus more friendly to applications. This is defined as the "XDS on FHIR" Option. In this option the MHD Document Responder is responsible for converting the XDS metadata into MHD metadata. This Document Responder is thus responsible for setting the DocumentReference.content.attachment.url so that a Document Consumer simply requests the document from that URL. This URL is fully in the control of the Document Responder. Thus the Document Responder might choose to encode the XDS Document Repository ID and the Document UniqueID into the URL. It might encode them as query parameters in a URL. The Document Responder might alternatively use UUIDs that it keeps a mapping table. The URL might be rooted at the same or a different server endpoint as the Document Responder. The important point is that the Document Responder is empowered to fill the URL anyway it wants. The URL must simply be used by the Document Consumer, meaning the Document Consumer shall not try to interpret the URL, it should just GET.
