OPERATION: Find patient matches using IHE PIXm Profile
The official URL for this operation definition is:
http://profiles.ihe.net/fhir/ihe.pixm.fhir/OperationDefinition/IHE_PIXm_pix
A Master Patient Index ( MPI ) is a service used to manage patient identification in a context where multiple patient databases exist. Healthcare applications and middleware use the MPI to match patients between the databases, and to store new patient details as they are encountered. MPIs are highly specialized applications, often tailored extensively to the institution's particular mix of patients. MPIs can also be run on a regional and national basis.
This transaction is used by the Patient Identifier Cross-reference Consumer to solicit information about patients whose Patient Identifiers cross-match with Patient Identifiers provided in the query parameters of the request message. The request is received by the Patient Identifier Cross-reference Manager. The Patient Identifier Cross-reference Manager processes the request and returns a response in the form of zero or more Patient Identifiers for the matching patient.
