1 Introduction

Go to functional design

This page describes the exchange of images within MedMij. Contrary to other MedMij use cases, we have not identified an existing information standard nor any specifically applicable HCIM? models. To achieve exchange of images, MedMij adopts as much as possible from existing standards, such as the DICOM standard and the Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) profile from Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) that defines a RESTful/HTTP interface to an XDS environment using HL7 FHIR STU3 resources.

The specification currently consists of one use case, that covers sending an image by a patient to a healthcare provider. We anticipate adding a use case to retrieve images by the patient in a future version of this specification. This will most likely will be based on DICOMweb™, which is the DICOM standard for web-based medical imaging based on RESTful services.

Note: this page is part of the MedMij FHIR Implementation Guide and is a technical representation of its functional design.

2 Actors and transactions involved

Table 1 shows the relevant actors, systems and FHIR capability statements in a MedMij context. The capability statements demonstrate the minimum requirements to be in conformance with the described use cases.

3 Boundaries and Relationships

The use case where an image is sent from a PHR to a XIS is influenced by the IHE MHD profile with regards to the PHR message semantics and mandatory elements. The main deviation of these use-case specifications is the use of the FHIR Media resource instead of the DocumentReference resource. Although the DocumentReference is in line with the requirements of persisting content in an XDS network and the DocumentReference can handle images, the Media resource is more appropriate and specific for the exchange of images. The Media resource has additional, relevant, (medical related) elements compared to the DocumentReference. These are the Media elements view, reasonCode, bodySite, device and to a lesser extent the height and width elements. In addition, the Media resource has a reference coming from the DiagnosticReport that may be of value for further development of the MedMij information standard for images.

A XIS can possibly act within a XDS network. MedMij information standards have the primary objective to enable standardized communication between the parties that act within MedMij. As a secondary objective, exchange with parties that are part of a XDS networks are taken into account. For this objective, the PHR will need to provide additional meta information to the Media resource. The additional meta information allows XIS actors to index an image properly within a XDS network. The XIS is responsible for converting the PHR message into a XDS DocumentEntry. A mapping from the Media resource to the mandatory metadata elements of the IHE MHD DocumentReference resource is provided. The IHE MHD and general IHE XDS profiles will provide the information needed to produce a successful DocumentEntry for an image.

4 Use case: send image from a PHR to a XIS

Go to Afsprakenstelsel

This FHIR implementation guide assumes that the PHR system is able to make a connection to the right XIS that contains the patient's information. It does not provide information on finding the right XIS nor does it provide information about security. Moreover, each transaction is performed in the context of a specific authenticated patient, for whose context (token) has been established using the authentication mechanisms described in the 'Afsprakenstelsel'. Each XIS Gateway is required to perform filtering based on the patient associated with the context for the request, so only the records associated with the authenticated patient are returned. For this reason, search parameters should not be included for patient identification.

4.1 Introduction

This use case describes the minimal required technical functionalities in order to exchange an image made by the patient to a healthcare provider. Typical process flow would be:

  1. Patients creates, downloads or receives an image and uploads it to his PHR.
  2. The PHR sends the image to the chosen XIS system.
    • Potentially the patient needs to provide sufficient metadata concerning the image.
  3. A healthcare provider views the image in his XIS.

This use case presumes made agreements between the patient and healthcare provider. Besides a technical answer by the XIS of the healthcare provider, no answer to the patient is expected.

The following technical specifications will concern the process mentioned in bullet 2.

4.2 Actors

Transaction group Transaction Actor Role
Send Image Bundle (PUSH) Send image bundle request Patient (using a PHR) Sends image to the XIS
Receive image bundle response Healthcare professional (using a XIS) Receives image from PHR

4.3 Invocations

4.3.1 Client - PHR request

When the patient (PHR) wants to send one or more images, it issues a send image bundle request message.

The PHR initiates a FHIR transaction using a create action by sending an HTTP POST request composed of a FHIR Bundle Resource containing one List resource, one or more FHIR Media resources, one or more Binary resources, one Patient resource, and zero or one Practitioner resource to the XIS recipient. References to the FHIR specification for the required transaction and POST requests are given in the interactions, operations and search parameters section below.

The PHR executes an HTTP POST against the XIS's base endpoint as shown below.

POST [base] {?_format=[mime-type]}

The PHR shall guarantee consistency of all FHIR resource elements with the requirements specified in the StructureDefinitions for List, Media, Patient, Practitioner, PractitionerRole and Organization resources. References to these StructureDefinitions are provided in list of StructureDefinitions.

4.3.1.1 Textual Requirements

  • The Bundle.type shall be 'transaction'.
  • The Bundle contains one List resource that has one to three references to a Media resource.
  • The Media has one version specific identifier. This identifier is discriminated from potential other identifiers by a fixed 'official' value at identifier.use.
  • Referenced Resources (for example Patient, Practitioner and PractitionerRole) shall be included in the Bundle.
  • Accompanying text from the patient for the image and/or collection of images shall be placed in the Media.note and List.note respectively.

4.3.2 Examples

Example instances of FHIR resources can be found on Simplifier. Please note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of any information standard.

4.3.3 Server - XIS response

The XIS shall process the bundle atomically.

4.3.3.1 Response message

The XIS response message shall be sent when a success or error condition needs to be communicated. Success is only indicated once the image(s) and accompanying resources are received and completely processed and persisted as appropriate to the XIS configuration. The XIS returns an HTTP Status code appropriate to the processing outcome, conforming to the transaction specification requirements as specified in the FHIR specification.

To enable the PHR to know the outcome of processing the transaction, and the identities assigned to the resources by the XIS, the XIS shall return a Bundle, with type set to transaction-response, that contains one entry for each entry in the request, in the same order as received, with the Bundle.entry.response.outcome indicating the results of processing the entry. The XIS shall comply with FHIR Bundle transaction-response and the HTTP transaction-response specifications.

4.3.3.2 Handling errors

A client may use the returned Bundle to track the outcomes of processing the entries, and the identities assigned to the resources by the server. Each entry element SHALL contain a response element which details the outcome of processing the entries - the HTTP status code, and the location and ETag header values, which are used for identifying and versioning the resources. In addition, a resource may be included in the entry, as specified by the Prefer header.

When the resource syntax or data is incorrect or invalid, and cannot be used to create a new resource, the server returns a 400 Bad Request HTTP status code. When the server rejects the content of the resource because of business rules, the server returns a 422 Unprocessable Entity error HTTP status code. In either case, the server SHOULD include a response body containing an OperationOutcome with detailed error messages describing the reason for the error.

Common HTTP Status codes returned on FHIR-related errors (in addition to normal HTTP errors related to security, header and content type negotiation issues):

  • 400 Bad Request - resource could not be parsed or failed basic FHIR validation rules.
  • 404 Not Found - resource type not supported, or not a FHIR end-point.
  • 422 Unprocessable Entity - the proposed resource violated applicable FHIR profiles or server business rules. This should be accompanied by an OperationOutcome resource providing additional detail.

4.3.4 Server - XIS & XDS

If the receiving XIS is part of a XDS network, it may need to convert the PHR request message into a proper message for the IHE "Provide and Register Document Set-b [ITI-41]" transaction. The XIS shall create appropriate metadata from the resources in the FHIR Bundle. The PHR provides the minimally required metadata. A mapping is shown below to assist in creating the XDS entry. The FHIR Media resource is mapped to the mandatory elements in the IHE MHD Profile on "DocumentReference with Comprehensive (aka XDS-on-FHIR) Metadata". IHE MHD defined these elements as a minimum for a XDS DocumentEntry. The Media and List StructureDefinition, provided in the list of StructureDefinitions, contain mappings to a XDS DocumentEntry and XDS Folder Metadata Attributes respectively. Some FHIR elements do not translate to XDS concepts; the handling of these elements is left to the implementer of the XIS.

Upon successful conversion of the FHIR Bundle to XDS metadata, the XIS shall execute the Provide and Register Document Set-b [ITI-41] transaction. The transaction result and any error or warning messages shall be reported to the PHR. The XIS is responsible for translating the XDS response to the appropriate HTTP Status Code and FHIR OperationOutcome Resource in the Send Image Bundle Response Message.

4.3.4.1 Mapping Media to mandatory IHE MHD DocumentReference elements needed for XDS DocumentEntry

IHE MHD Profile on DocumentReference with Comprehensive (aka XDS-on-FHIR) Metadata Media for images, used by the PHR Implementation notes for XIS & XDS
DocumentReference.masterIdentifier Media.identifier and identifier.use = 'official'
DocumentReference.status Fixed value "current".
DocumentReference.type Media.type Fixed LOINC code: 72170-4 Photographic image Unspecified body region Document.
DocumentReference.class Fixed SNOMED code: 9491000146107 - Imaging documentation (record artifact).
DocumentReference.subject Media.subject
DocumentReference.indexed Media.occurrenceDateTime
DocumentReference.securityLabel Media.meta.security If no value is present 'normal' should be used as default.
DocumentReference.content Media.content
DocumentReference.content.attachment Media.content.attachment
DocumentReference.content.attachment.contentType Media.content.attachment.contentType Possible media content types: JPEG, PNG, GIF, JP2.
DocumentReference.content.attachment.url Media.content.attachment.url
DocumentReference.content.attachment.size Media.content.attachment.size
DocumentReference.content.attachment.hash Media.content.attachment.hash
