Implementation of IHE Profiles: XDS

About IHE XDS Implementation

The IHE XDS Profile is a specification for the exchange of clinical documents among healthcare enterprises. OHF currently supports:

  • ITI-15: Provide and Register Document Set Transaction
  • ITI-16: Query Registry
  • ITI-17: Retrieve Document
  • ITI-18: Registry Stored Query

XDS Document Consumer: Supports the Query Registry (ITI-16) and the Registry Stored Query (ITI-18) which allows an application to issue IHE defined queries for documents against a central Document Registry. The XDS Consumer also supports the Retrieve Document (ITI-17) transaction which allows for the retrieval of a particular document from a central Document Repository.

XDS Document Source: Supports the Provide and Register Document Set Transaction (ITI-15) which allows an application submit a new document or replace an existing document in a central Document Repository.

XDS Metadata: Supports the XDS Document Source and the XDS Document Consumer by providing a central model of the XDS Metadata concepts which are used by the central Document Registry.
