IHE IT Infrastructure – Plan for 2007 New Supplements For 2007 Web Services for XDS – Roberto Ruggeri Cross Enterprise User Authentication (XUA) – John Moehrke Cross Community Access (XCA) – Karen Witting Significant updates to existing last years profiles PIX/PDQ HL7 V3 transactions updated to support latest V3 specification RFD updated for latest level of XForms specification White Papers for 2007 Configuration Management Security Risk Management Web Services Roadmap Aggregate Data Meeting Privacy Principles using IHE Profiles Change Proposal (CP) work for all profiles

Web Services for XDS Value Proposition Bring XDS in line with current Web Services standards Builds on the WS adoption of XDS Stored Query. Easier to develop and manage Align use of ebXML Reg/Rep standard to version 3.0 Stored Query transaction introduced in 2006 is based on 3.0 Original transactions are based on ebXML Reg/Rep 2.1 Lay the foundation for security, federation, reliable messaging work (XUA, XC…)

Web Services for XDS Technical Solution Defines optional Web Services based versions of the existing transactions: Updated Provide & Register on-line transaction based on SOAP/MTOM New Document Retrieve using SOAP/MTOM Updates Web Services specification to use SOAP 1.2 Updates metadata format to use ebXML Reg/Rep 3.0 for Provide & Register and Register New WSDL contracts for all the new Web Services XDS transactions Integrates WS for PIX/PDQ HL7 v3 for the Patient Identity Feed

Cross-Enterprise User Authentication Value Proposition Extend User Identity to Affinity Domain Users include Providers, Patients, Clerical, etc Must supports cross-enterprise transactions, can be used inside enterprise Distributed or Centralized. Provide information necessary so that receiving actors can make Access Control decisions Does not include Access Control mechanism Provide information necessary so that receiving actors can produce detailed and accurate Security Audit Trail

Cross-Enterprise User Authentication Technical Solution Initial scope to XDS-Stored Query and XDS-Retrieve (WS) Relies on Web Services profiling work in progress Leverage WS-I Basic Security Profile 1.1 Use SAML Assertions Leverage IHE PWP Profile Update PWP to include user attributes needed Define grouping behavior with EUA and ATNA

Cross Community Access Value Proposition Sharing of documents beyond the XDS Affinity Domain (community) boundary. Part of a larger vision for regional and national sharing – 2006 whitepaper on Cross Community Information Exchange Cross Community Access (2007) Cross Community Location (2008) Scoped to document sharing between XDS Affinity Domains. Future goal to define sharing with other types of communities.

Community Locator service Hierarchical Exchange From Cross Community Information Exchange White Paper Which community holds records for a patient ? Community Locator service Regional Network B Acute Care (Inpatient) PCPs and Clinics (Ambulatory) Long Term Care Other Specialized Care or Diagnostics Services Document Registry Document Repository Longitudinal Record as used across-encounters Regional Network A Acute Care (Inpatient) PCPs and Clinics (Ambulatory) Long Term Care Other Specialized Care or Diagnostics Services Document Registry Document Repository Longitudinal Record as used across-encounters Cross Community Bridge IHE Transactions (future) Cross Community Bridge Cross Community Bridge Each region notifies Community Location Service when new patient is registered or first data is stored. Cross Community Bridges query Community Locator Service (future) Cross-Community Bridges query and retrieve records (2007 & future) Regional Network C Acute Care (Inpatient) PCPs and Clinics (Ambulatory) Long Term Care Other Specialized Care or Diagnostics Services Document Registry Document Repository Longitudinal Record as used across-encounters

Community Locator service Lateral Exchange and non-IHE Domains From Cross Community Information Exchange White Paper What communities have specific attributres? Community Search Service National Network A National or Regional Network B Acute Care (Inpatient) PCPs and Clinics (Ambulatory) Long Term Care Other Specialized Care or Diagnostics Services Document Registry Document Repository Longitudinal Record as used across-encounters Non-IHE National EHR Cross Community Bridge IHE Transactions (future) Cross Community Bridge Cross Community Bridge National or Regional Networks not required to be IHE-based Mapping to & from IHE Transactions performed by X-Community bridges Mapping practical as most European projects use variants of structured document sharing National Network C Community Locator service IHE based Sub-Networks Non-IHE Sub-Net Acute Care (Inpatient) PCPs and Clinics (Ambulatory) Long Term Care Other Specialized Care or Diagnostics Services Document Registry Document Repository Longitudinal Record as used across-encounters Acute Care (Inpatient) PCPs and Clinics (Ambulatory) Long Term Care Other Specialized Care or Diagnostics Services Document Registry Document Repository Longitudinal Record as used across-encounters XDS Affinity Domain (NHIN sub-network) Integrated Delivery Network

Cross Community Access Technical Solution Cross Community Bridge A new actor which supports all inter-community communications. Encapsulates in one actor all activities required to communicate outside the community. Every community would have one cross community bridge which would interact with actors within the community and remote cross community bridges. Cross Community Consumer Initiator of a request for information beyond the community. Technical Issues: Need for asynchronous transactions in the cross community environment Interaction with existing XDS actors Reliable identification of the patient

White Papers Security Risk management Web Services Roadmap – June 2006 Cookbook for the security section of IHE profiles. Publish final text. how to run a risk assessment for interoperability specifications (IHE Profiles). Web Services Roadmap – June 2006 Web Services standards are in rapid evolution and states of adoption. Provide across IHE a solid stepwise and pragmatic plan for staged adoption. Access to Aggregate Data – June 2006 Requirements & standards evaluation for an infrastructure for surveillance/notification for quality mgt, public health and research. Complementary to IHE-XDS working in both distributed and centralized repositories architectures. Configuration Management – August 2006 Establish the general principles of intra-enterprise and cross-enterprise systems configuration for interoperability Requirements & standards evaluation for a configuration infrastructure Meeting Privacy Principles using IHE Profiles Shows how the IHE Profiles address data protection principles (e.g. OECD Data protection principles) when used in a proper policy environment.
