Mobile Patient Discovery ITI Proposal Brief
The Problem Data Repositories A eCharts MPI Integration Service Data Repository eRxmyPHR B Integration Service C MyPHR
MHD Designed for sharing of documents – JSON representation of XD* meta-data – RESTful access to XD* infrastructure – Patient identity not scoped but guidance exists Can be performed by the recipient/responder Bracelet number = enterprise identity Difficult to get demographics information XD* / Other Infrastructure Doc Recipient / Responder Consum er Source MHD
PIX / PDQ Established patient identity X-Ref and Demographics query Not suited for mobile – PIX/PDQ (HL7v2) Inconsistent support for socket programming on mobile Lightweight browser apps (JavaScript) = nearly impossible without gateway – PIX/PDQ (HL7v3) Inconsistent support for SOAP + WS* on mobile Same issue for lightweight browser apps
Mobile Patient Discovery Seeks to profile mechanisms for mobile / lightweight clients to: – Resolve patient identities from a known identifier (similar to PIX) – Retrieve demographics information from structured query (similar to PDQ) – Leveraging existing projects in mHealth community Complementary to MHD – Similar: PIX/PDQ complements XDS – Similar: XCPD complements XCA
