HIE TECHNICAL DESIGN
HIE TECHNICAL DESIGN
The OpenHRE Community is a consortium of communities and organizations throughout America, that are working together to achieve secure and sustainable health information exchange. Established in 2004, this growing community contributes to the continuing design, development, and distribution of the world’s first open source software dedicated to health information exchange - the OpenHRE™ toolkit, developed by Browsersoft, Inc.
HIE TECHNICAL DESIGN The OpenHRE™ Toolkit consists of three NHIN
compliant services that address the needs of health stakeholders participating in Health Record Exchanges.
These services are “configured” by a community to meet their exchange needs:
Electronic Health Record Clinical Data Repository Summary Patient Record Clinical Messaging
Disease Management Outcomes Registry Reporting On-line Analytical Process (OLAP)
The OpenHRE™ toolkit includes:
The Authentication and Access Control Service (AACS) - Maintains and enforces the individual access control and data ownership requirements of stakeholders participating in Health Record Exchanges.
The Record Locator Service (RLS) - Locates where health records exist - within an enterprise – within a Health Record Exchange - or among multiple Health Record Exchanges.
The Record Exchange Service (RES) – Queries, retrieves, and caches data from located sources, and assembles the data into usable information displayed via web browser.
