Overview

Within the OpenHIE project there are two major functions that a Shared Health Record should perform:

1. The SHR should receive and store clinical documents for patients and respond to queries to retrieve a patients clinical documents.
2. The SHR should be able to respond to queries for existing data about a patient that was received from the clinical documents.

Standards

A core principle of the OpenHIE architecture is to allow the various infrastructure services (such as the SHR) to be interchangeable. Thus, the SHR must support some standard interfaces such that different implementation that are developed can be swapped in as needed. Various standards have been evaluated and the SHR community has decided that the core standards that an OpenHIE SHR must support are as follows:

...

• Save patient-level clinical data workflow - V1.0
• Query patient-level clinical data workflow - V1.0

Requirements

In addition to the above an SHR should closely match the requirements defined by OpenHIE as can be found here.
