  5. Mediconsult and PlugIT • Mediconsult joined PlugIT in spring 2002 • At first there seemed to be big expectations • Later the project focused on a few concrete problems • Interfaces aroused our interest • Participated actively in interface definition work

  6. Context Manager • Implementation based on standard version 2 • Only a little influence on client program code • Clients are easy to implement • Possible to extend usage to custom subjects and items

  7. Users, patients and codes • Interfaces: IdentifyProfile, ProfileAccess, Codeservice, Codeset, Code • Most applications have their own registers • Information is needed throughout the application • Possibly difficult to alter existing program code • Interfaces are recommended in new programs

  8. Authentication and authorization • Interfaces: AuthenticateUser, AuthorizationAccess • Authentication is usually made only once • Authorization is checked all the time and everywhere • AuthorizationAccess-interface may require large code modifications in existing applications

  9. Benefits • Increase of knowledge • Cost savings • Programs are easier to use simultaneously • Time savings • Duplicate registers can be avoided • Centralized rights management

  10. In the future • Implementations will reveal the problems in interface definitions • Standardization work must continue • HL7 Common Services SIG • SerAPI-project
