Hi Everyone,
I’m thinking through the architecture when trying to implement an OpenMRS to OpenHIE connection that stores data in the shared health record. Given the intermittent internet connectivity, it would be helpful to be able to keep track of the last time each clinic interacted with the HIE. For the short term, we would like to display a table that lists clinics in each row with a column that displays the last datetime they interacted with the HIE. In the future, we would like to add columns to the table for each workflow that is accomplished. For example, we would add a column that shows the number of records pushed to the shared health record in the last update.
Here are some questions on my mind:
-
Is this available somewhere in the HIE?
-
Would the interoperability layer be the best place to keep this, the facility registry or HMIS?
-
Are there other services that have been deployed to the HIE that deal with tracking intermittent internet connectivity? Should the HIE do things like ping clinics to verify they are up and available? (similar to Nagios functionality)
Thanks,
Craig
Craig - great question!
Just a quick brainstorm: my bet is that one could could mine the interoperability later transaction logs (build an addon module?) to support your requirements. The SHR community will likely have thoughts as well.

Hi Craig,
The statement “last time clinic interacted with the HIE” just stands out to me a little here so I’m going to unpack it a bit and ask for clarifications 
You reference the SHR and storing data in it, is “last time it interacted” limited to the storage of data in the SHR (i.e. save clinical encounter) or should we also be including if a clinic asked for a Patient ID, submit aggregate data, query facility etc?
If you are limiting yourself to “when was the last time a clinic saved data to the SHR (not queried)” I would consider doing a query off of the SHR database for this (one could write an app to resolve facility IDs with the Facility registry too if you wanted).
However if you are looking for a more wholistic view of how a facility has been interacting with the HIE I support Shaun’s point of mining the logs of the HIM. We did something similar intitially when we started with the MomConnect project for a stop-gap reporting solution before it moved to DHIS2. I’m guessing that this would be an occasional report (i.e. 1x a day / week / or on demand)?
@Ryan C: any thoughts on this?
