Interlinked Registries
A proposed project leading to a balloted IHE profile for Interlinked Registries (ILR) based on the HL7/OMG Human Services Directory (HSD) specification
2
Project overview
A new IHE profile for Interlinked Registries (ILR) will be developed, balloted and tested
The co-sponsors of the work item are HI-PPP (PEPFAR) and Canada Health Infoway
The work item will be generally based on the HL7/OMG Human Services Directory (HSD) specification
Both co-sponsors plan to support project teams at the 2014 Connectathon to demonstrate interoperability with each other and with other participants

User Story 1
David Lambert sees his family physician, Dr. Black, regarding a recent knee injury.
Dr. Black diagnoses the problem as a torn ACL and decides to refer David to an orthopedic surgeon.
Dr. Black uses his EMR to search for orthopedic surgeons; a list is returned sorted by available consult timeslot (soonest to latest) and by location (closest to farthest).
After discussing the options with David, Dr. Black chooses Dr. Bone from the list and a “pending referral” is automatically created.
David returns home. Later that day, Dr. Bone’s office reviews the pending referral and accepts it. A “scheduled referral” message is communicated to Dr. Black and to David.

User Story 2
Alicia is a female veteran in Baltimore who has returned from her 2nd tour in Afghanistan; she is being discharged from active service into civilian life
Alicia’s medical records and care continuity is transferred from DoD to VHA
VHA wishes to establish primary care for Alicia at a VA Care Center supporting the VA’s female veteran primary care model
The VHA care coordinator queries for VA facilities in the Baltimore area which have embraced the model and refers Alicia to a female primary care physician, Dr. Veteran, at the “model” facility closest to where Alicia lives

User Story 3
Mosa is a young pregnant woman; she is being seen by a community health worker, Grace, who is conducting Mosa’s 2nd antenatal care (ANC) visit.
Grace records ANC observations using SMS on her mobile phone. Mosa’s blood pressure reading is high; she should be referred to see a
clinician. The cloud-based mHealth application queries an interlinked registries
service to determine the closest facility (geo-coded Facility Registry) offering maternal care services (Resource Registry) within a specific timeframe (Provider Registry / Facility Registry calendar).
An SMS reply from the mHealth service indicates to Grace that maternal clinics operate on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the health facility closest to Mosa’s village.
Grace prepares a referral note for Mosa. Mosa is automatically added to the patient queue for the next maternal clinic at the facility.
