Introduction

The national extensions documented in this implementation guide shall be used in conjunction with the definitions of integration profiles, actors and transactions provided in Volumes 1 through 3 of the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework.

This implementation guide with national extensions of IHE integration profiles was authored in order to fulfil the Swiss regulations of the Ordinance on the Electronic Patient Record (EPRO, SR 816.11). The EPRO and the EPRO-DFI are published in Official Compilation of Federal Legislation (AS) (available in German, French and Italian).

This implementation guide is under an informative ballot by HL7 Switzerland until September 30th, 2023 midnight. Please add your feedback via the ‘Propose a change’-link in the footer on the page where you have comments.

Conformance Expectations

The key words MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

This implementation guide uses Must Support in StructureDefinitions with the definition found in Appendix Z. This is equivalent to the IHE use of R2 as defined in Appendix Z.

Scope of precisions

The extensions, restrictions and translations specified apply to the following IHE IT Infrastructure (ITI) Integration profiles:

Overview

Introduction

This national extension is motivated by the intention to ease integration of mobile applications to the Swiss EPR by extending the IHE FHIR based mobile profiles. This national extension to IHE profiles is intended for mobile applications running on mobile devices, but not limited to. The IHE FHIR based mobile profiles use technologies (REST, OAuth, etc.) which are widely spread in the developer community and may be used for native applications and Web Applications, for example in web based primary systems.

The scope of this extension covers the following use cases:

  1. Client authentication and authorization;
  2. User Authentication;
  3. Read documents from the EPR;
  4. Write documents to the EPR;
  5. Write logs to the EPR ATNA Audit Record Repository.

This extension covers two options:

  1. Generic mHealth option – This option adresses primary systems or mobile applications using the basic EPR flows but replace the XDS.b related and PIX/PDQ V3 profiles with the FHIR based profiles;
  2. SMART on FHIR – This option adresses mobile apps or modular primary systems that want to connect to the Swiss EPR using SMART on FHIR.

Cross Version Analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (ch.fhir.ig.ch-epr-mhealth.r4) and R4B (ch.fhir.ig.ch-epr-mhealth.r4b) are available.

The Basic Audit Log Patterns (BALP) Implementation Guide is a Content Profile that defines some basic and reusable AuditEvent patterns. This includes basic audit log profiles for FHIR RESTful operations to be used when there is not a more specific audit event defined. A focus is enabling Privacy centric AuditEvent logs that hold well formed indication of the Patient when they are the subject of the activity being recorded in the log. Where a more specific audit event can be defined it should be derived off of these basic patterns. (built Fri, Oct 21, 2022 08:58-0500-05:00)
