- 11. An ecosystem that supports many users, apps, publishers, patient portals, repositories and access control services
- 12. Sharing portal and repository data with an app will be under explicit patient control

- 17. In our ecosystem, data services will be provided by patient portals, clinical data repositories and a record locator service
- 18. Each patient portal will be coupled with an access control server
- 19. Patient portals will be the docking points where personal health apps connect to the ecosystem
- 20. Portal systems will expose patient information and communication functions via a standard API
- 21. OAuth2 is the chosen protocol for authentication and authorisation
- 22. Digital certificates for mutual authentication will enable patient portals, repositories and access control services to operate within a circle of trust
- 23. Patient portal accounts will be linked to National Health Index (NHI) number
- 24. Patient portals and apps will allow the user to login with Real Me, which must add OAuth2 support
- 26. Support people who use portals and apps on behalf of others will have their own user accounts
- 27. NHI number will become another federated identity attribute under Real Me, which must add support for OpenID Connect
- 28. Health Provider Index (HPI) identities will be used and there will be an open electronic addressing scheme and directory of health practitioners, facilities and organisations
- 29. Patient portals and repositories will have RESTful APIs, based where practical on HL7 FHIR
- 30. Rich apps will support SNOMED CT and LOINC for clinical terminology
- 31. 31 SNOMED for ambulance clinical impressions
- 32. A record locator service will enable document search across all repositories
- 33. Apps will need to support the clinical document metadata standard and a common repository API
- 34. Record locator service Clinical data repository CDR CDR Record locator service one index across n sources, serving clinical workstations, patient portals and apps Storing, locating and retrieving clinical documents (XDS model)
- 35. Authorisation scopes will include: search:[<NHI number>] summary:[<NHI number>] send-email-to:<address>

- 39. Certified apps may connect to portals and repositories Publishers will be asked to register new apps Accredited agents will test and certify apps against published standards
- 40. A directory of repository, patient portal and authorisation server endpoints will be published
Editor's Notes
- People are involved in their own care and share a core set of personal health information with providers. People trust and understand how their information is used and recorded.
- Patient portal interfaces with GP systems, shared care systems, clinical data repositories, My List of Medicines, clinical assessment and shared care planning tools, telehealth services
- Naturally, we also want to support multiple mobile device types, brands and operating systems

- Blue Button was developed in 2010 by USA Veterans Affairs to allow users to download a health summary from a patient portal ONC for Health IT took over Blue Button in 2012 Blue Button+ added structured data and support for web services in 2013
- Each BB+ provider is the pairing of an OAuth2 authorisation service with a data service that implements the BB+ interface

- Patient portals are secure web apps featuring cross browser support and an accessible user interface Patient portals are in rollout around the country There is a robust face-to-face provisioning process, based on the patient-practitioner relationship Portals provide the ability to order a repeat prescription, make an appointment or send a note to the GP, as well as view personal health information Providers will be obliged to operate certified patient portal systems that have such an API

- OpenID Connect is an identity layer on OAuth2 In general, the authorisation server will be separate from the resource server The resource server can trust the access token because it is signed by the authorisation server HTTPS secure connections over the internet
- Identity, authentication and authorisation services will be provided by the NHI system, Real Me and patient portals
- We need stronger evidence of identity than social media provides
- The NHI system is probably not suitable as an OAuth2 identity and authorisation server
- Real Me is a federated identity system, offering an identity verification service and a login service Systems such as the NHI system can become identity attribute providers under this federated model, storing a Federated Identity Tag (FIT) per person as a link to the Real Me identity A Federated Login Tag (FLT) per person is used in a similar way to support single sign-on In order to support Real Me, patient portals will need to store FITs and FLTs, but will these need to be the same across different portals? Having NHI number as a federated identity attribute under Real Me would support uses such as GP enrolment and patient portal provisioning Real Me is a product and registered trademark of the New Zealand Government and New Zealand Post
- 1500 clinical impressions among about 3000 finding and diagnosis concepts
- Matched content is listed in an Atom feed The app issues an authenticated HTTPS GET request to retrieve any document from its repository location
- 10040.4 Clinical Document Metadata Standard defines twenty metadata elements for clinical data repository content It is a standard for repository, record locator, clinical workstation, shared care and portal solutions
- CDA and other payload types are supported. CDA for discharge summary and med rec content, clinical assessments, care summaries.
- Xero public apps use the standard three-legged OAuth process that allows the user to authorise access to their Xero account by a third party app: User presses a ‘Connect to Xero’ button in the app and is redirected to a Xero authorisation service to login User selects which Xero account they want to grant the app access to User is redirected back to the app, which can then interact with the selected account via the API Access tokens last for 30 minutes (partner apps are more privileged but need to be centrally hosted) Xero also supports partner apps, which are more privileged Partners are issued an 99 client certificate for their apps Partner apps present an X.509 client certificate issued by Xero Partner apps access the Xero API at a different URL from public apps Partner apps also use a different signature method to public apps - requests are signed using the RSA-SHA1 method Partner apps use the same three-legged authorisation process as public apps, but the 30 minute access tokens are automatically renewed
- Some apps will be classed as medical devices
