Shared Health Specification and Guide Version 5.0


v5.0 of this specification has been superseded by v5.3. v5.3 is compatible but adds additional features for Quebec.

The version (Bundle.meta.tag:version) that is sent in the message will remain PrescribeIT5.0

NameCard.TypeConstraints and Usage
.  MessageHeader 0..*MessageHeaderDefinition:
The header for a message exchange that is either requesting or responding to an action. The reference(s) that are the subject of the action as well as other information related to the action are typically transmitted in a bundle in which the MessageHeader resource instance is the first resource in the bundle.

..  id 1..1idDefinition:
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.


Comments:
Usage Note: This value is assigned by the system that creates a bundle and is unique to the specific message instance of the bundle and the uniqueness of this value will be validated by the PrescribeIT® service. This value is sometimes referenced in error messages.

..  meta 0..1MetaDefinition:
The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource.


Comments:
See children

...  profile 0..*uriDefinition:
A list of profiles [[[StructureDefinition]]]s that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to [[[StructureDefinition.url]]].


Comments:
It is up to the server and/or other infrastructure of policy to determine whether/how these claims are verified and/or updated over time. The list of profile URLs is a set.

..  timestamp 1..1instantDefinition:
Time and date the transaction was created


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Must be a full date and time with timezone (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd-HH:mm:ss.SSS-ZZZZZ).

..  event 1..1CodingBinding: SharedMessageEvents (20190415) (preferred)
Definition:
Code that identifies the event this message represents and connects it with its definition.

...  system 1..1uriFixed Value: https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/CodeSystem/sharedmessageevents
Definition:
The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.


Comments:
Fixed value: https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/CodeSystem/sharedmessageevents

...  code 1..1codeDefinition:
A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).

..  response 0..1BackboneElementDefinition:
Information about the message that this message is a response to. Only present if this message is a response.

...  identifier 1..1idDefinition:
The id of the message that this message is a response to.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This is to be populated with the MessageHeader.id of the original message that is being responded to.

...  details 0..1Reference(Shared Health Operation Outcome) {b}Definition:
A reference from one resource to another.


Comments:


..  source 1..1BackboneElementDefinition:
The source application from which this message originated.

...  extension
       (applicationId)
1..1Message Header Application IdDefinition:
Unique identifier for the application responsible for sending a message.


Comments:
Vendors will be assigned this identifier upon registration by PrescribeIT® technical support.

...  extension
       (conformanceVersion)
1..1Message Header Source Conformance VersionDefinition:
String identifying the version of the sending software application that was most recently subjected to conformance testing


Comments:
This is the version number of the software that underwent conformance testing. It may be earlier than the source.version in cases where the application has since undergone changes that do not affect the communication interface.



Usage Note: This version must be registered with the Shared Services Hub and will be validated by the Hub at runtime.

...  name 0..1stringDefinition:
Human-readable name for the source system.


Comments:
Usage Note: The name of the Vendor.

...  software 1..1stringDefinition:
May include configuration or other information useful in debugging.


Comments:
Usage Note: The name of the Vendor's software creating the message.



Conformance Rule: This must be a known value that is registered on Shared Services Hub. This will be validated at run time.

...  version 1..1stringDefinition:
Can convey versions of multiple systems in situations where a message passes through multiple hands.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This must convey the build version of the vendor application. This is the version of the application that created the message.



Usage Note: This version number is issued by the software vendor and will be used primarily for audit and troubleshooting purposes. This may or may not be the same as the conformance version.

...  endpoint 1..1uriDefinition:
Identifies the routing target to send acknowledgements to.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This is the full URL for the Organization Identifier (CPRID) that was issued by PrescribeIT®. The URL's must be completely configurable within the EMR or PMS as they will vary by environment. Format: https://{environmentspecifichost}/{EnvironmentAndContextSpecificPath}/Organization/CPR1000123



Vendors will be given the actual values for {environmentspecifichost}/{EnvironmentAndContextSpecificPath} in the API document at time of onboarding.

..  destination 1..*BackboneElementDefinition:
The destination application which the message is intended for.


Comments:
Usage Note: This is used to specify the destination system.

...  endpoint 1..1uriDefinition:
Indicates where the message should be routed to.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This must be populated with the full URL for the Organization Identifier (CPRID) that was issued by PrescribeIT®. The format to be used is as follows. The URL's must be completely configurable within the EMR or PMS as they will vary by environment. Format: https://{environmentspecifichost}/{EnvironmentAndContextSpecificPath}/Organization/CPR1000123



Vendors will be given the actual values for {environmentspecifichost}/{EnvironmentAndContextSpecificPath} in the API document at time of onboarding.



Conformance Rule: In the context of 401, this will be the PrescribeIT® Switch URI (https://EnvironmentSpecificHost/EnvironmentAndContextSpecificPathRegistry/Organization/111111111)
