  1. NwHIN Power Team Provider Directories Tasking, Review and Mod Spec Presentation April 17, 2014

  2. HITSC Tasking

  3. HITPC Recommendations Overarching • Search for provider: EHR systems have the ability to query external provider directories to discover and consume addressing and security credential information to support directed and query exchange • Respond to search: EHR systems have the ability to expose a provider directory containing EPs and EH addressing and security credential information

  4. HITPC Recommendations Guidelines (1 of 5) • Scope:Standards must address PD transactions (query and response) as well as minimum acceptable PD content to enable directed and query exchange • Continuity: Build on Stage 1 and 2 approaches and infrastructure for directed exchange where possible and allow use of organized HIE or cross-entity PD infrastructures where applicable and available (ie, remain agnostic to architecture and implementation approaches) • Simplification: Set goal of having PD query and response happen in a single (or minimal) set of transactions • External EHR system: An EHR system of another distinct legal entity, regardless of vendor

  5. HITPC Recommendations Guidelines (2 of 5) • Transactions: • Querying systems must have ability to: • Present authenticating credentials of requesting entity • Validate authenticating credentials of provider directory holding entity • Present provider-identifying information • Securely transmit query message

  6. HITPC Recommendations Guidelines (3 of 5) • Provider directory must have ability to: • Validate authenticating credentials of requesting entity • Present authenticating credentials to requesting entity • Match provider • Respond with unambiguous information necessary for message addressing and encryption or acknowledgement of non-fulfillment of request

  7. HITPC Recommendations Guidelines (4 of 5) • Provider directories must have administrative capabilities to: •  Submit updated provider directory information (additions, changes, deletions) to external provider directories • Receive and process provider directory updates from external provider directories

  8. HITPC Recommendations Guidelines (5 of 5) • Transaction details: • Provider directories should contain minimum amount of information necessary on EPs and EHs to address and encrypt directed exchange and/or query for a patient record messages

  9. Recommended Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria 1 The Standards and Interoperability Framework team should select either REST or SOAP, as most appropriate within the context of the NwHIN standards currently being defined. 2 To support LDAP federation, a profile specifying a standardized way to federate LDAP directories is needed.
