  5. Agency Systems are MIS applications within the varying agencies that perform client/patient/person processing functions An Adaptor is a software component that enables communications between agency systems and the eCare Framework […] the Adaptor can be a logical software component built into an agency system or on a separate physical machine eCare Safe Haven or DMZ is a secure perimeter network that connects the Agency networks with the network in which the eCare Framework’s hardware is located. The Messaging Service provides Agency Applications with an interface to the eCare Framework The Multi Agency Store is the repository used to store consented data for the purpose of information being shared between different agencies eCare Technical Workshop

  6. Indexing & Matching • Systems must have a person record prior to sharing or viewing of data in the MAS • Systems must create an index entry in the MAS from a matching solution employing a national process as per the eCare Matching Overview strategy document • eCare maintains a multi-agency index of all connected systems person reference numbers; systems have no access to this index which contains no shared data • Systems must have an index entry to receive MAS notifications • This index permits systems to view data regardless of consent or disclosure authority. The ability to lock a person record in the MAS from viewing is a separate – and currently unrelated – function. eCare Technical Workshop

  7. Consent & Disclosure Authority • Conditions for data sharing are: • Either the Subject (or a proxy for the Subject) has given informed consent to the sharing of data or a competent professional within the disclosing agency has taken a considered decision to override the absence of consent; and • It is necessary and relevant to share the data. eCare Technical Workshop

  8. Consent • Consent is collected once per person in the MAS • A subset of data is stored • A full history of changes is maintained • All systems with an index entry are notified when the status changes • Does not physically enable data sharing eCare Technical Workshop

  9. Systems update their own consent status consent process (cross-partnership) MAS notifies each system with an Index entry that consent has changed MAS maintains a history of all consent eCare Technical Workshop

  10. Disclosure Authority • Authority is stored once per system per person in the MAS • A full history of changes is maintained • All systems with an index entry are notified when the status changes • Physically enables data sharing – no system can send data to the MAS without authority • Does not restrict viewing data from the MAS – all systems with an index entry can retrieve data eCare Technical Workshop

  11. disclosure process MAS notifies system admin thatauthority has changed MAS maintains a history of all authority eCare Technical Workshop
