Within EFA the actors and transactions of the IHE XDS integration profile are mapped onto EFA Resource Manager actors and operations as follows:

Role EFA Resource Manager Service IHE XDS Binding
Actor EFA Client Document Source (for createECR, createPartition, closeECR, registerConsent)
Document Consumer (for listPartitions)
-
Actor EFA Resource Manager Document Repository (for createECR, createPartition, closeECR, registerConsent)

EFA XDS/XDR Binding: createECR

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.02}

The initialization of a new ECR is performed by creating a new XDS folder for the patient. The folder is classified by the ECR purpose codes and as such implicitly linked to all other folders (ECR: partitions) which are assigned to the same purpose.

This EFA binding introduces the following extensions and restrictions on the IHE XDR actor and transaction definitions in order to properly cover the EFA createECR operation and to align with the EFA security framework:

  • A new folder shall be created and purpose codes shall be provided for the newly created folder as codeList.
  • A consent information document containing the list of authorized subjects shall be provided through BPPC. A scanned consent document may be additionaly provided.
  • Additional error messages are defined that cover specific failure conditions of the EFA use cases
  • The availability of data fields is aligned to EFA privacy requirements
  • Documents cannot be copied by reference (Permissions are assigned to folders and therefore there is no easy way for an ECR Provider to verify the legitimacy for linking a document with another case record)
  • The application of security measures and the contents of the SOAP security header are specified normatively

Constraints on the Request Message

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.02.01}

The createECR request message implements the IHE Provide And Register DocumentSet transaction (ITI-41) request message as profiled in [IHE ITI TF-2b]

The following table shows how the createECR SFM is mapped onto the ITI-41 transaction:

createECR ITI-41 Constraints
context SAML Identity Assertion within the SOAP Security Header see IHE Cookbook
patientID XDS Folder Attribute: patientID

XDS Document Attribute: patientID

The same patient identifier SHALL be used throughout all metadata
purpose XDS Folder Attribute: codeList see EFA XDS Folder Metadata Binding for details
ecrInfo XDS Folder Attribute: title

XDS Folder Attribute: uniqueID

Further elements of the ecrInfo structure MAY be set by the ECR provider.
consentInfo XDS Document
consentDoc (optional) XDS Document Scaned documents SHALL be provided acc. to the XDS SD Integration Profile.


Following this, implementations SHALL consider the following constraints:

  • All provided documents SHALL be associated with a newly created XDS folder. Folder metadata SHALL be used as specified in the EFA XDS Folder Metadata Binding.
  • The request carries one or more documents. One of these documents SHALL be a consent information document.
  • All document metadata SHALL be provided as specified in the EFA XDS Document Metadata Binding.
  • The requestor (EFA Client) SHOULD provide documents embraced by a single IHE XDS submission set acc. to [IHE ITI TF-2a].
  • The EFA provider SHOULD ignore the submission set grouping and MUST ignore all associations between documents and submission sets.
  • All metadata of the submission set MUST NOT have EFA semantics. The EFA provider MUST solely rely on the document metadata and contents.
  • The EFA provider MUST NOT register documents that are provided by reference.

Expected Actions

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.02.02}

The XDS Document Repository provider SHALL respond to an ProvideAndRegisterDocument request message with the ProvideAndRegisterDocument response message containing a success indicator.

The provider of the XDS Document Repository provider MUST verify that the requesting service user has sufficient rights to setup a new ECR at this ECR Provider. This includes that the service user is registered with the provider and familiar with using ECRs. Additionaly the ECR provider SHALL verify the completeness and consistency of the provided consentInfo document. It SHALL verify that all named ECR participants are either registered with the provider or identifiable through a shared healthcare provider directory.

The ECR provider SHALL check if an ECR for the given patient and purpose already has been registered with this provider.

If no ECR with the given purpose exists for the given patient, the ECR Provider SHALL

  • setup a folder as specified in the request message
  • translate the provided consentInfo document into an access control policy which can be automatically enforced for each request to the newly setup ECR
  • store the provided documents within the XDS Document Repository
  • forward the metadata of the received documents to the XDS Document Registry for registration

If an ECR with the given purpose already exists for the given patient, the ECR Provider SHALL

  • assess the access control policy of that ECR with the "modify consent" operation. If this access is denied an error status SHALL be returned.
  • setup a folder as specified in the request message
  • extract the identified ECR participants from the provided consentInfo document and add them as authorized users to the existing access control policy.
  • store the provided documents within the XDS Document Repository
  • forward the metadata of the received documents to the XDS Document Registry for registration

In case of an error that relates to the transmission of the request or the processing of the EFA security token, the EFA Resource Manager Service provider MUST respond with the respective error status.

Response Message (Full Success Scenario)

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.02.03}

If the EFA Document Registry Service provider is able to decode the received message and to properly initialize the new eCR and its initial partition it responds with an ebXML Registry Response with its status set to "urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ResponseStatusType:Success"

If the service provider wants to respond with further information on the processing of the transmitted data or with a non-critical warning it SHOULD include an additional <RegistryErrorList> element. The severity MUST be set to “urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ErrorSeverityType:Warning”:

  <rs:RegistryResponse
           status="urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ResponseStatusType:Success">
     <rs:RegistryErrorList>
       <rs:RegistryError 
           severity=”urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ErrorSeverityType:Warning” 
           errorCode=”....”
           codeContext=”Partition linked with existing ECR” 
           location="" />
     </rs:RegistryErrorList> 
   </rs:RegistryResponse>

The following warning messages and codes are defined:

Condition and Severity Message Code Action to be taken
Request was received but not processed; e.g. because a manual intervention by the ECR provider is required to initalize a new ECR Processing deferred 2201 None
An ECR with the given purpose already exists for the patient. Instead of initalizing a new ECR a partition has been added to the existing ECR. Partition linked with existing ECR 2202 None

Response Message (Failure or Partial Failure Scenario)

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.02.04}

If the XDS Document Repository is able to decode the received message but the processing of the request failed, it responds with an ebXML Registry Response that contains a respective status indicator (see below).The response MUST contain a RegistryErrorList element that indicates the failure condition.

The instantiation of an ECR is an All-or-Nothing operation. Therefore in any case of failure the response status MUST be set to “urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ResponseStatusType:Failure”.

The severity of each registry error message MUST be set to ”urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ErrorSeverityType:Error”. Multiple registry error messages MAY be included within a single <rs:RegistryErrorList> element. Apart from the XDS-b error messages defined in Table 4.1-11 of [IHE ITI TF-3] the following error codes are defined for EFA:

Condition and Severity Location Message Code Action to be taken
The EFA provider requests a higher authentication trust level than assigned to the HP (e.g. password-based login is not accepted for the requested operation). (ERROR) - Weak Authentication 4702 If possible, the HP SHOULD log in again with a stronger mechansims (e.g. smartcard) and re-issue the request with the respective identity assertion.
The ECR provider only accepts consentInfo documents if they are digitally signed by an HP. (ERROR) OID of the consentInfo document No Signature 4704 If possible, the EFA Client SHOULD re-issue the request with the data signed by an HP.
The requestor has not sufficient permission to perform the requested operation (ERROR) - Policy Violation 4109 The request MUST NOT be processed by the service provider. The HP MAY request the patient to exted the consent.
An ECR of the given purpose already exists for the patient. The requestor does not have sufficient permissions to create a new partiton and to register new participants (ERROR) - Policy Violation 4109 The request MUST NOT be processed by the service provider. The HP MAY request the patient to exted the consent for the existing ECR.
The ECR provider is unable to identify one or more of the participants that are listed in the consentInfo document (ERROR) OID of the participant that cannot be identified Unknown HP Identity 4110 The request MUST NOT be processed by the service provider. The requestor SHOULD first resolve the participants' identities into identifiers which are resolvable to the ECR provider.

Message Protection

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.02.05.01}

The ECR requester MUST apply means to achieve message authenticity, message integrity and message confidentiality. The ECR provider MUST approve at least one of the following mechanisms.

Transport Layer Security with SAML Issued Endorsing Token

The request message and the response message are sent on an ECR-provider authenticated TLS-channel. In the Security Header the requester provides an ECR Identity Assertion and a wsu:timestamp element that is signed with the Subject-Confirmation-Key.

EFA XDS/XDR Binding: closeECR

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.04}

The explicit shutdown of an ECR is performed by placing a consentInfo document that invalidates all previously given permissions into one of the ECR's partitions (folders). This may either be a newly created folder of an existing folder that is classified by the ECR purpose codes and as such implicitly represents the ECR that is to be closed.

This EFA binding introduces the following extensions and restrictions on the IHE XDR actor and transaction definitions in order to properly cover the EFA closeECR operation and to align with the EFA security framework:

The following warning messages and codes are defined:

Condition and Severity Message Code Action to be taken
Request was received but not processed; e.g. because a manual intervention by the ECR provider is required to close an ECR Processing deferred 2201 None

Response Message (Failure or Partial Failure Scenario)

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.04.04}

If the XDS Document Repository is able to decode the received message but the processing of the request failed, it responds with an ebXML Registry Response that contains a respective status indicator (see below).The response MUST contain a RegistryErrorList element that indicates the failure condition.

The shutdown of an ECR is an All-or-Nothing operation. Therefore in any case of failure the response status MUST be set to “urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ResponseStatusType:Failure”.

The severity of each registry error message MUST be set to ”urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ErrorSeverityType:Error”. Multiple registry error messages MAY be included within a single <rs:RegistryErrorList> element. Apart from the XDS-b error messages defined in Table 4.1-11 of [IHE ITI TF-3] the following error codes are defined for EFA:

Condition and Severity Location Message Code Action to be taken
The EFA provider requests a higher authentication trust level than assigned to the HP (e.g. password-based login is not accepted for the requested operation). (ERROR) - Weak Authentication 4702 If possible, the HP SHOULD log in again with a stronger mechansims (e.g. smartcard) and re-issue the request with the respective identity assertion.
The ECR provider only accepts consentInfo documents if they are digitally signed by an HP. (ERROR) OID of the consentInfo document No Signature 4704 If possible, the EFA Client SHOULD re-issue the request with the data signed by an HP.
The requestor has not sufficient permission to perform the requested operation (ERROR) - Policy Violation 4109 The request MUST NOT be processed by the service provider. The HP MAY request the patient to exted the consent.
An ECR of the given purpose does not exist for the patient (ERROR) - Policy Violation 4109 The request MUST NOT be processed by the service provider.

EFA XDS Binding: listPartitions

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.05}

ECR partitions are implemented as XDS folders. Therefore listing partitions corresponds to listing all accessible ECR-classified folders which are assigned to a given patient.

This EFA binding introduces the following extensions and restrictions on the IHE XDS actor and transaction definitions in order to properly cover the EFA listPartitions operation and to align with the EFA security framework:

  • The query is restricted to folder metadata and does not return any data contained within that folders.
  • Additional error messages are defined that cover specific failure conditions of the EFA use cases
  • The availability of data fields is aligned to EFA privacy requirements
  • The application of security measures and the contents of the SOAP security header are specified normatively

Constraints on the Request Message

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.05.01}

The listPartitions request message implements the FindFolder flavor of the IHE Registry Stored Query transaction (ITI-18) request message as defined in [IHE ITI TF-2b#3.18.4.1.2.3.7.3].

The following table shows how the listPartitions SFM is mapped onto the ITI-18 transaction's query arguments:

listPartitions ITI-18 Constraints
context SAML Identity Assertion within the SOAP Security Header see IHE Cookbook
patientID $XDSFolderPatientId The patient ID used must be resolvable by the ECR Provider.
purpose $XDSFolderCodeList The codeList MUST contain the ECR-Folder classification code (see EFA XDS Folder Metadata Binding for the respective code). The codeList MUST contain a purpose code, which restricts the query to the partitons of a specific ECR.

In addition the following constrains must be considered:

  • The $XDSFolderLastUpdateTimeFrom and/or $XDSFolderLastUpdateTimeTo query arguments MAY be used. If given, they MUST be considered by the Document Registry.
  • The $XDSFolderStatus query arguent SHALL be set to "Approved".

The XDS Document Registry provider SHALL respond to a Registry Stored Query request message with the Registry Stored Query response message containing a success indicator and listing XDS metadata of all folders that match the given query. The provider of the XDS Document Registry provider MUST verify that the requesting service user has sufficient rights to access the discovered XDS folders.

In processing of this request the ECR Provider SHALL

  • assess the access control policy of all folders assigned to the given patient
  • discover all folders that match the query and the policy
  • respond to the requestor with the metadata of the discovered folders. Metadata provided SHALL comply to the EFA XDS Folder Metadata Binding.

In case of an error that relates to the transmission of the request or the processing of the EFA security token, the XDS Document Registry MUST respond with the respective error status.

Response Message (Full Success Scenario)

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.05.03}

If the EFA Document Registry Service provider

  • is able to decode and process the received message and
  • at least one partition exists for the given patient that is accessible to the requestor

it responds with the registry metadata of the discovered partitions.

Response Message (Failure or Partial Failure Scenario)

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.05.04}

If the XDS Document Registry is unable to successfuly process the query request it MUST respond with a ListResponse message that only contains a <AdhocQueryResponse/RegistryResponse> element.

If no matching folder is discovered or an error occured during the processing of the request, the response status MUST be set to “urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ResponseStatusType:Failure”. If partitons of the patient are discovered but may be incomplete (e.g. due to a not-responding peer in an ECR P2P network), the response status MUST be set to “urn:ihe:iti:2007:ResponseStatusType:PartialSuccess”.

The severity of each registry error message MUST be set to ”urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:ErrorSeverityType:Error”. Multiple registry error messages MAY be included within a single <rs:RegistryErrorList> element. Apart from the XDS-b error messages defined in Table 4.1-11 of [IHE ITI TF-3] the following error codes are defined for ECR:


Condition and Severity Message Code Action to be taken
The EFA provider requests a higher authentication trust level than assigned to the HP (e.g. password-based login is not accepted for the requested operation). (ERROR) Weak Authentication 4702 If possible, the HP SHOULD log in again with a stronger mechansims (e.g. smartcard) and re-issue the request with the respective identity assertion.
The ECR provider is unable to verify the identity and/or the authenticity of the requestor (ERROR) Invalid Subject 4703 The request MUST NOT be processed by the service provider.

EFA XDS/XDR Binding: registerConsent

Bitte markieren Sie Kommentare zu diesem Abschnitt mit dem Code {EDesa.06}

The registration and enforcement of a new patient consent to an existing ECR is performed by placing a consentInfo document that expresses the new consent into one of the ECR's partitions (folders). This may either be a newly created folder of an existing folder that is classified by the ECR purpose codes and as such implicitly represents the ECR that is to be aligned to a new treatment setup.

This EFA binding introduces the following extensions and restrictions on the IHE XDR actor and transaction definitions in order to properly cover the EFA registerConsent operation and to align with the EFA security framework:

  • A new folder may be created. Purpose codes shall be provided for the newly created folder as codeList
  • A consent information document that expresses the new permissions shall be provided through BPPC. A scanned consent revocation document may be additionaly provided.
  • Additional error messages are defined that cover specific failure conditions of the EFA use cases
  • The availability of data fields is aligned to EFA privacy requirements
  • The application of security measures and the contents of the SOAP security header are specified normatively

XDS Folder Attribute: codeList

The codeList shall contain all purpose codes as assigned to the ECR that is to be aligned
consentInfo XDS Document
consentDoc (optional) XDS Document Scaned documents SHALL be provided acc. to the XDS SD Integration Profile.


Following this, implementations SHALL consider the following constraints:

  • All provided documents SHALL be associated with a newly created XDS folder or with a folder that is already part of the ECR. Folder metadata SHALL be used as specified in the EFA XDS Folder Metadata Binding.
  • The request carries one or more documents. One of these documents SHALL be a consent information document.
  • All document metadata SHALL be provided as specified in the EFA XDS Document Metadata Binding.
  • The requestor (EFA Client) SHOULD embrace the provided documents as a single IHE XDS submission set acc. to [IHE ITI TF-2a].
  • The EFA provider SHOULD ignore the submission set grouping and MUST ignore all associations between documents and submission sets.
  • The EFA provider MUST NOT process any metadata assigned to the submission set, it MUST solely rely on the document metadata and contents.
  • The EFA provider MUST NOT register documents that are only provided through associations.

Expected Actions

The XDS Document Repository provider SHALL respond to an ProvideAndRegisterDocument request message with the ProvideAndRegisterDocument response message containing a success indicator.

The provider of the XDS Document Repository MUST verify that the requesting service user has sufficient rights to register a consent document at this ECR Provider. This includes that the service user is registered with the provider and familiar with using ECRs. Additionaly the ECR provider SHALL verify the completeness and consistency of the provided consentInfo document.

In processing this request the ECR Provider SHALL

  • assess the access control policy of that ECR with the "modify consent" operation. If this access is denied an error status SHALL be returned.
  • setup a folder as specified in the request message
  • store the provided documents within the XDR Document Repository
  • forward the metadata of the received documents to the XDS Document Registry for registration
  • adapt all permissions that are assigned to the ecrRef to the care team setting as described in the newly provided consent. All previously set permissions must be invalidated.
  • if the validity date is changed by the consent: register the new validity with the access control system
  • if the purpose is aligned by the new consent: change the eventList codes of all containers that are assigned to the eCR to the new purpose
