About Elektronische FallAkte (EFA)
The electronic Case Record (Elektronische FallAkte, EFA) is an initiative launched by the German stationary sector in 2006. Electronic case records provide a structured and integrated viewpoint of medical data that can be associated with an individual case. A case begins with an initial diagnosis and integrates as many in-stances of billing or treatment as required. A physician oversees the eCR, with the various attending physicians being responsible for the case records contents and completeness.
The decentralized handling and maintenance of case records is based on the metaphor of a supply network as a community of interest composed of autonomous actors working on a specific task. Since it is generally preferred that the actual place at which medical data and administrative information (e.g. user accounts) remains constant, the case record may be implemented quickly and efficiently in existing networks, and may furthermore facilitate the initiation of co-operation at a regional level as well as at a national scope.
The further development of the EFA technical specifications is sponsored by German hospitals, private hospital chains, and regional care networks who are organized within the EFA Verein (EFA Association). The recent release version 2.0 of EFA is fully compliant to IHE profiles and has been developed as a joint effort between EFA Verein, German IT vendors and Fraunhofer FOKUS. The IHE white paper "Access Control" was highly influenced by the EFA security architecture and the initiative that resulted in the forthcoming IHE profile supplement on digital patient consent was originally fueled by respective EFA requirements.
All EFA technical specification are open and available to the public at http://wiki.hl7.de/index.php?title=cdaefa:EFA_Spezifikation_v2.0.
Links and Documents
EFA Projectathon
In preparation for the 2016 EFA Projectathon EFA Verein and Fraunhofer FOKUS prepared several documents on the overal procedures and the EFA specific test cases:
- Projectathon Concept Paper (PDF, German): This paper sets the overall framing for the EFA Projectathon by documenting all agreements that have been made among the affected parties (EFA Verein, IHE Europe, bvitg, Fraunhofer FOKUS)
- Sketch of the Storyboard (PDF, English): This document sketches the storyboard that will be used as a baseline for the EFA Projectathon tests. For each step of the stroyboard the relevant links to the EFAv2.0 specification are given.
- Actors and Transactions (PDF, English): This document was used by IHE Europe for registering the EFA actors and transactions into gazelle. It defines the certifiable actors and EFA transactions that have to be implemented by EFA-compliant solutions. For each EFA transaction the underlying IHE transactions and EFA constraintes on these transactions are referenced.
IHE Connectathon
IHE Europe set up a Google Group for Connectathon participants. All webinar announcements and Connectathon-related news will be posted to this group by IHE Europe.
Additionally IHE provides vendors with various Connectathon Training Materials. For many IHE Profiles links to existing testing tools are given on that site which enable vendors to tests their solutions in advance to the Connectathon.
IHE Webinars
IHE is offering a series of webinars for Connectathon participants:
- 14. December 2015 (Connectathon registration and important dates)
