ATNA, XDS, MHD, : Assigned partners & patients

[Lynn Felhofer]

If you are not testing ATNA, XDS.b, or MHD, at next week’s IHE NA Connectathon, you can delete this email.  

Othewise, please continue reading...

For the vast majority of tests during Connectathn week, participants are responsible for choosing their own test partners during next week’s testing. 

 

Exception: To facilitate testing in some profiles...

• On Tuesday & Wednesday, ATNA Secure Nodes/Applications are assigned to an Audit Record Repository. This ensures an even spread of audit messages.
• Also on Tuesday & Wednesday, XDS.b Document Registries & Repositories are paired to enable Doc Sources to submit documents & Consumers to query/retrieve into “known” infrastructure.
• For the entire Connectathon week, XD* and MHD Document Source systems are assigned a single patient to use when submitting your documents. The Patient IDs for these patients will be pre-loaded on Document Registries so they are ready to receive document metadata. Using these assigned patient simplifies test verification, making it easy to identify the documents in the server systems.

These partner and patient assigments are in the Connectathon - Assigned Partners and Patients spreadsheet posted here. I also added a link to this on Dr. Phil’s Connectathon Week Resources page.

There are 5 tabs in the spreadsheet —one for patient assignments, three for XDS partners, and one for ATNA partners.

• Please read the explanatory notes in the document
• We ask you to be ready(configured) to test with your assigned partner at the assigned time.
• We only make XDS & ATNA partner assignments on Tues & Wed. You choose your own partners at other times.
• This does not mean that XDS/ATNA testing doesn’t start until Tues.
• We have *many participants* testing these profiles. Assigning partners also does not mean that these are the only systems testing XDS at a specified time. Those systems without an assignment are encouraged to use Gazelle to find other idle partners and proceed with testing XDS or other profiles.

Pleasea send me an email if you have questions about this.
