HubServiceImpl

public interface HubService

As part of the Business Connector for General Practitioners, a Hub Consultation component is foreseen that provides connectivity to a local hub. As part of this component a set of 23 operations are available. They can be grouped as follows:

• Transactions: Put, Get, Revoke, Get List, Declare
• Request Publication
• Health Care Party: Get, Put
• Patient: Get, Put
• Health Care Party Consent: Put, Get, Revoke
• Patient Consent: Put, Get, Revoke
• Therapeutic Link: Put, Get, Revoke
• Access Right: Put, Get, Revoke
• Get Patient Audit Trail

The Hub Consultation component, part of the Business Connector for General Practitioners, provides a simple API to access the wide range of hub operations. It hides the complexity on both functional and technical level (web service communication, simplified data interface, handles encryption/decryption, etc).

The following principles have been applied while defining the interface for the set of operations:

• The request/response messages exchanged with the hub system include a header element that includes some general information related to the message and sender. This information will be added automatically, no intervention is required by the client application using the API. The necessary information will be retrieved from the Business Connector's configuration file.
• The Kmehr XML format is used extensively to structure data elements that are exchanged between hubs, hospitals and a General Practitioner. Whenever a Kmehr document is requested as input parameter or provided as response, the Kmehr XML format is foreseen as interface for the operation. This means that the client application must provide a valid Kmehr XML structure as input or will receive a Kmehr XML structure as response for certain operations.
• As medical information is exchanged, the sensitive data will be encrypted using the end-to-end encryption framework. The Hub Consultation component will take care of the encryption/decryption of the content.

Pre-requisites

• An active and valid eHealth-platform session (initiated via the Session Management component)
• Hub configuration
