Overview

Accurate and efficient unique identification of patients is an essential function for a fully realized eHealth architecture. A client registry (CR) is designed to support patient identity management. The OpenHIE CR community seeks to foster innovative technology that provides accurate, reliable and stable identification and de-duplication of individuals and other entities in a variety of contexts, particularly resource-constrained settings.

Standards and Workflows

A core principle of the OpenHIE architecture is to allow the various infrastructure services (such as the CR) to be interchangeable. To support this,  the OpenHIE Standards and Profiles use by the Client Registry are outlined in the workflows below.  

...

1. Create patient demographic record workflow

2. Update patient demographic record workflow

3. Query patient demographic records by identifier workflow

4. Query patient demographic records by demographics workflow
