The Future is E-Health ATS 5822 – eHealth Secure Message Delivery A.K.A. SMD
Introduction • Development of SMD • Specification overview • Ongoing work
Development of SMD specification • SMD was the result of a collaborative development process • NEHTA • medical software industry (MSIA) • standards community (Standards Australia IT14-06) ATS 5822 – eHealth Secure Message Delivery published March 2010
Starting point The Future is E-Health • Apply NEHTA secure messaging specifications in a meaningful way for GPs (PIP) • Engage vendors to find an agreeable solution • NEHTA content specifications not ready • Existing NEHTA secure messaging specifications were profiles, that is, not directly implementable
PIP Process The Future is E-Health
Scope and Key Requirements The Future is E-Health • Any-to-any connectivity • Content-agnostic messaging • Explicit support for messaging hubs (intermediaries) • Private clinical information not visible to hubs • Allow existing business models (e.g. per-message billing) • Minimal infrastructure dependencies • Usable for to-be-defined, content-specific interactions
Use case: direct messaging The Future is E-Health
Use case: receiver intermediary The Future is E-Health
Use case: two intermediaries The Future is E-Health
Use case: immediate response The Future is E-Health
Ongoing work - implementation • Refine, re-test and publish NEHTA’s free open-source SMD implementation • Provide technical assistance to other parties implementing the SMD specification (software vendors, jurisdictions) • Work with industry to establish independent conformance testing capability (test specs, test tools, assessment scheme)
Ongoing work – standards • Harmonise SMD with IHE XDR profile • Collaboration with IHE International under auspices of Standards Australia • Refine SMD specification based on implementation experience and progress toward full Australian Standard • Under auspices of Standards Australia IT14-06
