CONNECT Architecture (Versions 2.3 and 2.4) Cross Community Patient Discovery (XCPD) and XDR Overview MONDAY, 2:00 – 2:00PM Greg Fairnak, CONNECT Chief Architect (Contractor) Federal Health Architecture, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT

What’s new in 2.3? CONNECT 2.3 is the latest version of the CONNECT Solution. Released in January 2010, the new version is designed to comply with NHIN specifications. One of the significant improvements made possible by CONNECT 2.3 is the move from subject discovery to patient discovery. Additional benefits of CONNECT 2.3 include: – Supports both Linux and Windows platforms – The ability to expire patient correlations (time to live) – The gateway can now be configured to be FIPS compliant – A document query interface that supports additional queries – Enhanced access consent and authorization framework opt in, opt out to restrict by document type, XDS.b meta model – The ability to receive asynchronous or synchronous Web services calls HIMSS 20102
