Hi all,

I missed this call, but one thing I couldn’t quite understand from the minutes is how HPD’s approach was selected for the provider registry, or even if it’s a settled approach or just a proposal.

Was this discussed?

Cheers,

Chris

Dear Chris,

Thanks for your questions and perhaps we should have clarified this at the beginning of the call.

On our last call we discussed the HPD Profile as one possible approach to developing a provider registry. As people were not familiar with HPD, there was interest on our last call discussing what is the HPD Profile and we were presenting it here. This
was largely to build common language and give community participants enough familiarity with HPD to effectively evaluate it. Do you see any gaps?

As to why we are looking at the HPD, we have been encouraged by the larger OpenHIE community to consider the IHE profiles. That being said, nothing has been set it stone, and we are certainly very open to other directions or standards.

For our work in Rwanda specifically, we have decided to use the HPD Profile for our future work on the provider registry.

Hope that clarify matters.

Also, thanks for starting the conversation with me about linking the facility registry with the provider registry. The Facility API would be great for providing a rich data set of facilities for a provider registry, and it makes sense to me to try and
align a provider registry with a facility registry when both are being implemented in the same country. If we were to take the HPD profile forward, a suggested next step would be to map the Facility Registry API to the relevant bits of the HPD Profile –
it would be great to have your expertise here.

In the absence of a facility registry, we should also think about how to populate facilities in a provider registry. One thing mentioned was SDMX-HD for publishing the facility lists. For a concrete example from Kenya, you can take a look here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~his-interop/kenya-sdmx-hd/trunk/view/head:/outputs/DSD/DSD.xml#L1224

What is nice about this is we have a standards complaint minimal amount of information encapsulated here to represent a facility in a provider registry (a code and a name).

Cheers,

-carl
