This page describes the exchange of images within MedMij. In contrary to other described use cases for MedMij no existing information standard fits nor are there specific ZIB models applicable. 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 [http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Cross-Enterprise_Document_Sharing 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. Based on future research, a use case to retrieve images by the patient will be added. Most likely, this will be based on DICOMweb™, which is the DICOM standard for web-based medical imaging based on RESTful services.

==IHE MHD specification==
 +
Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) profile defines a simple HTTP interface to an XDS like environment. The four described 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.[http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Mobile_access_to_Health_Documents_(MHD)]

=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 specifications for this use case mainly deviates in the use of the FHIR Media resource instead of the DocumentReference resource. Although the DocumentResource is in line with the requirements of persisting content in a XDS network and the resource can handle images, the Media resource is more appropriate and specific for the exchange of images. The Media resource has additional, more specific, (medical related) elements compared to the DocumentReference. These are the Media's 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. The information standards in use by MedMij have the primary objective to enable standardized communication based on FHIR STU3. As a secondary objective, enabling exchange with XDS networks is 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 perform a successful DocumentEntry of an image.

 +
 
 +
== 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:
 +
# Patients makes, downloads or receives an image and uploads it to his PHR.
 +
# The PHR sends the image to the chosen XIS system.
 +
## Potentially the patient needs to provide sufficient metadata concerning the image.
 +
# 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 at point 2.

 +
 
 +
=== Client - PHR request===
 +
When the patient (PHR) wants to send one or more images, it issues a send image bundle request message.
 +
 
 +
The PHR initiate a FHIR transaction using a create action by sending an HTTP POST request composed of a FHIR Bundle Resource containing one or more FHIR Media resources, zero or more Binary resources and one patient resource to the XIS Recipient. References to the FHIR specification for the required transaction and POST requests are given in the [[#Interactions.2C_operations.2C_search_parameters | interactions, operations and search parameters]] section below.
 +
 
 +
The PHR executes an HTTP POST against the XIS's base endpoint as shown below.
 +
 
 +
<pre>
 +
POST [base] {?_format=[mime-type]}
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
The PHR shall assure all FHIR resource elements are consistent with the requirements specified in the StructureDefinitions for List, Media, Device, Patient, Practitioner and Organization resources. References to these StructureDefinitions are provided in [[#List_of_StructureDefinitions | list of StructureDefinitions]].
 +
 
 +
==== Textual Requirements ====
 +
 
 +
* The Bundle.type shall be transaction.
 +
 
 +
* The Media.content.attachment.url points at the image content, which shall be in the Bundle as a Binary resource. See FHIR Resolving references in Bundles at the [http://hl7.org/fhir/STU3/bundle.html#references FHIR specification] and use within MedMij at the [https://informatiestandaarden.nictiz.nl/wiki/MedMij:V2018.06_FHIR_IG#Use_of_the_reference_datatype MedMij Use case overarching principles].
 +
 
 +
* All Media.subject values shall be References to Patient resources and shall be included in the Bundle.
 +
 
 +
* A List resource shall be used to group the images if a collection of images are sent.
 +
 
 +
* Accompanying text from the patient for the image and/or collection of images shall be placed in the Media.note and List.note respectively.
 +

 +
* [https://simplifier.net/nictizstu3-zib2017/images-bundle-transaction-multiple-images Transaction Bundle containing multiple images]
 +
* [http://hl7.org/fhir/bundle-response.xml.html Transaction Bundle response - example from the FHIR spec]
 +
 
 +
=== Server - XIS response ===
 +
The XIS shall process the bundle atomically. If necessary for processing, the XIS shall retrieve resources referenced by absolute URLs in the FHIR Bundle Resource.
 +
 
 +
The XIS returns an HTTP Status code appropriate to the processing outcome, conforming to the transaction specification requirements as specified in the FHIR specification.
 +
 
 +
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) is/are received and completely processed and persisted as appropriate to the XIS configuration.
 +
 
 +
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 [http://hl7.org/fhir/STU3/bundle.html#transaction-response Bundle transaction-response] and [http://hl7.org/fhir/STU3/http.html#transaction-response the HTTP transaction-response] specifications.
 +
 
 +
=== Server - XIS & XDS ===
 +
If the receiving XIS is part of a XDS network, it will 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 shall provide the minimally required metadata. A mapping is shown below to assist in 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 [https://simplifier.net/NictizSTU3-Zib2017/ImagesMedia/~mappings Media StructureDefinition] contains a mapping to this profile and to XDS DocumentEntry, the [https://simplifier.net/NictizSTU3-Zib2017/images-List/~mappings List StructureDefinition] contatins a mapping to the XDS 'Folder Metadata Attributes'. 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.

{{IssueBox|'''IHE.1''' Currently, we don't use or specify a profile that concerns the transaction request. (A profile like "IHE MHD profile on Provide Document Bundle (ITI-65) transaction with Comprehensive Metadata") Is such a profile nescessary?

 +
{{IssueBox|'''IHE.2''' The main reason the "IHE MHD Profile on List (Folder)" is not used, is because it mandates the use of .title and .code which likely contains information a patient needs to enter manually. As we would like to keep the burden on patients as low as possible a custom profile of list is used without these mandatory elements. Additionally, one of the benefits is that we can use references to our own profiles. }}

{{IssueBox|'''IHE.4''' The IHE StructureDefinitions restrict the use of the .created element. This is a known issue and will be addressed in the R4 release of the profiles. This issue (CP-ITI-1100) can be found on the [http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Mobile_access_to_Health_Documents_(MHD)#FHIR_Implementation_Guide  IHE MHD wiki].

Introduction

Go to functional design

This page describes the exchange of images within MedMij. In contrary to other described use cases for MedMij no existing information standard fits nor are there specific ZIB models applicable. 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. Based on future research, a use case to retrieve images by the patient will be added. Most likely, this 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 the functional design published on this wiki page.

IHE MHD specification

Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) profile defines a simple HTTP interface to an XDS like environment. The four described 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.[1]

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 specifications for this use case mainly deviates in the use of the FHIR Media resource instead of the DocumentReference resource. Although the DocumentResource is in line with the requirements of persisting content in a XDS network and the resource can handle images, the Media resource is more appropriate and specific for the exchange of images. The Media resource has additional, more specific, (medical related) elements compared to the DocumentReference. These are the Media's 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. The information standards in use by MedMij have the primary objective to enable standardized communication based on FHIR STU3. As a secondary objective, enabling exchange with XDS networks is 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 perform a successful DocumentEntry of an image.

Use case: send image from a PHR to a XIS

Go to Afsprakenstelsel

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 makes, downloads or receives an image and uploads it to his PHR.
  2. The PHR sends the image to the chosen XIS system.
    1. 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 at point 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

Invocations

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.

Client - PHR request

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

The PHR initiate a FHIR transaction using a create action by sending an HTTP POST request composed of a FHIR Bundle Resource containing one or more FHIR Media resources, zero or more Binary resources and one patient 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 assure all FHIR resource elements are consistent with the requirements specified in the StructureDefinitions for List, Media, Device, Patient, Practitioner and Organization resources. References to these StructureDefinitions are provided in list of StructureDefinitions.

Textual Requirements

  • The Bundle.type shall be transaction.
  • All Media.subject values shall be References to Patient resources and shall be included in the Bundle.
  • A List resource shall be used to group the images if a collection of images are sent.
  • Accompanying text from the patient for the image and/or collection of images shall be placed in the Media.note and List.note respectively.

Examples

Message components

Transaction Bundle

Server - XIS response

The XIS shall process the bundle atomically. If necessary for processing, the XIS shall retrieve resources referenced by absolute URLs in the FHIR Bundle Resource.

The XIS returns an HTTP Status code appropriate to the processing outcome, conforming to the transaction specification requirements as specified in the FHIR specification.

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) is/are received and completely processed and persisted as appropriate to the XIS configuration.

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.

Server - XIS & XDS

If the receiving XIS is part of a XDS network, it will 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 shall provide the minimally required metadata. A mapping is shown below to assist in 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 StructureDefinition contains a mapping to this profile and to XDS DocumentEntry, the List StructureDefinition contatins a mapping to the XDS 'Folder Metadata Attributes'. 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.

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

DocumentReference.class Media.reasonCode If no reasonCode is present, a fixed LOINC code 72170-4 Photographic image Unspecified body region Document can be used.
DocumentReference.subject Media.subject
DocumentReference.indexed Media.occurrenceDateTime
DocumentReference.securityLabel Media.meta.security If no value is present 'normal' should be used as default.
