This module provides an XBS.b interface into OpenMRS. It is expected to receive any type of document payloads over the XDS.b interface and pass those on to the content handler with the content type of the payload. The module will enable OpenMRS to fulfil the role of perform as Document Registry and Document Repository actors in the following transactions:
- ITI-18 Registry Stored Query
- ITI-41 Provide and Register Document Set.b
- ITI-42 Register Document Set.b
- ITI-43 Retrieve Document Set.b.
Note that the OpenMRS SHR will NOT participate in the Patient Identity Feed transactions (ITI-8, ITI-44) when performing transactions in the Document Registry role. In the wider OpenHIE architecture, the Interoperability Layer performs the task of resolving patient identifiers from the Client Registry (acting as Patient Identity Source) before sending transactions to the Shared Health Record. Therefore, the combination of the SHR and IOL provides a complete implementation of an XDS Registry.
