Note to Implementers: FHIR Capabilities

Any FHIR capability may be 'allowed' by the system unless explicitly marked as 'SHALL NOT'. A few items are marked as MAY in the Implementation Guide to highlight their potential relevance to the use case.

FHIR RESTful Capabilities

Mode: server

A PCA Publisher Agent manages the service offerings for one publisher organisation.

The PCA service instantiates one PCA Publisher Agent for each participating publisher organisation. That is, each publisher organisation interacts with a PCA Publisher Agent located at a publisher agent base URL that is unique to that organisation.

The publisher agent base URL for a particular organisation is available via the PCA portal on the 'Organisation Details' screen of the publisher organisation.

Publication process

A PCA Publisher Agent creates the Location, HealthcareService and PractitionerRole resources (that are associated with existing Organization and Practitioner resources) that represent their service offerings. These resources are made available to a subscriber organisation when a publisher authorises publication of a HealthcareService or PractitionerRole resource to one or more of the subscriber organisation's partner services.

The authority to publish is represented using Contract resources which are also implemented by the PCA Publisher Agent (see the Contract resource endpoint).

Identifier disclosure rules

The PCA service enforces certain business rules regarding the disclosure of Identifiers (including subscriber-issued identifiers) in the resources that it makes available to subscribers.

The result of these rules may be that a copy of a resource received by one subscriber may contain Identifiers that are not included in the copy of the same resource that is received by a different subscriber.

In the case of HPI-Is these identifier disclosure rules ensure that relevant legal requirements are complied with.

Other identifier disclosure rules are defined by the PCA operator.

The identifier disclosure rules are applied automatically at the time that the resource is retrieved by the target PCA Subscriber Agent.

Authorisation rules

Authorised client systems are only permitted to interact with a PCA Publisher Agent API where the participating organisation associated with the PCA Publisher Agent has a publisher approval status of 'Approved'.

Resource profiles and extensions

This API specification defines the required resource profiles for each operation. In addition, the PCA Publisher Agent will reject any request to create or update a resource that contains any extensions (including modifier extensions) not explicitly defined in that resource profile.

Security
Enable CORS: yes
Security services supported: OAuth

This server implements OAuth2

Summary of System-wide Interactions
  • Supports the search-systeminteraction described as follows:

    Definition:
    This operation is a RESTful search interaction (whole system interaction), across multiple resource types (as described in the FHIR specification).

    Behaviour:
    This operation is used by a client system operated by a publisher organisation to get resources that match the specified search parameters and that are within the scope of the publisher organisation.

    The following search parameters are supported:

    • _lastUpdated is used to get the resources that have been added or changed since the requesting system last synchronised their local data store with PCA Publisher Agent. This search parameter supports the gt and lt comparison prefixes.

    • _type is used to filter the resources returned by their resource type. The available types are:

    • _include (and _include:iterate) are used in order that all the resources that match the _lastUpdated and _type filters will be accompanied, in the result Bundle, with all the other resources which they reference (directly or indirectly).

    Note that the use of _include (and _include:iterate) means that a resource may be present in the result Bundle either because it matched the other query parameters or because it was referenced (possibly indirectly) by another resource that matched the other query parameters.

    All of the following query parameters are required in order to receive the complete set of resources that have been created or changed since [last_synchronized]:

    _lastUpdated=[last_synchronized]
    _type=HealthcareService,PractitionerRole,Practitioner,Organization,Location,Provenance,Contract,Task
    _include=Location:organization
    _include=HealthcareService:organization
    _include=HealthcareService:location
    _include=PractitionerRole:organization
    _include=PractitionerRole:location
    _include=PractitionerRole:service
    _include=PractitionerRole:practitioner
    _include=Provenance:target
    _include=Contract:subject
    _include:iterate=HealthcareService:organization
    _include:iterate=HealthcareService:location
    _include:iterate=PractitionerRole:organization
    _include:iterate=PractitionerRole:location
    _include:iterate=PractitionerRole:service
    _include:iterate=PractitionerRole:practitioner

    This operation supports 'paging' (see FHIR specification). If there are too many resources to return in one Bundle, the FHIR server adds a next link to the response Bundle. The contents of the result Bundle therefore comprise all instances of the requested resource types whose lastUpdated timestamp is greater than the <lastSync> in the request query expression and less than or equal to <lastInBundle> where <lastInBundle> is the greatest lastUpdated value of all resources included in the result Bundle. The Publisher Agent FHIR server sets the next link to the filter expression that was used in the original request except that <lastSync> is replaced with <lastInBundle>. If the next link is not present in the Bundle, then there are no more service offerings available.

    create

    Definition:

    This operation is a RESTful create interaction (as described in the FHIR specification) of a Contract resource conforming to the PCA Publication Authorisation Record profile.

    Please note: This operation will be available in Release 2.1 of PCA.

    Behaviour:

    This operation records a decision made by an authorised representative of a publisher organisation to authorise the publication of a HealthcareService or PractitionerRole to a partner service.

    Authorisation is implemented using this operation. Revocation is implemented by updating the status of the existing Contract to 'revoked'.

    A Contract resource cannot be created with a status of 'cancelled' - this status can only by set by the PCA service and is used to indicate that the partner service associated with the publication authorisation is inactive.

    If the invocation of a Contract resource with status of 'executed' is sucessful then the PCA service will make the following resources available to the PCA Subscriber Agent of the organisation referenced by providedBy of the partner service:

    • target resource (HealthcareService or PractitionerRole).
    • Organization, Location and Practitioner resources that are referenced directly or indirectly by the target HealthcareService or PractitionerRole.
    • The newly created Contract resource.

    The PCA service will also continue to make available any new versions of these resources to the same PCA Subscriber Agent. This process continues until the existing Contract resource is updated with a status of 'revoked'.

    Prior to invoking this operation the following PCA API operations are available to provide the information that is recorded in the Contract resource to be created.

    • If not already identified or synchronised locally, then search for the relevant resource(s) using search-system (for service offering resources to publish) and PartnerService search-type (for partner services registered in the PCA service)
    • Get the current text of the information use statement for the selected partner service:

    If any of the following data validation rules are violated in the input resource, then the request is rejected and the error code 422 is returned:

    • The resource SHALL conform to the PCA Publication Authorisation Record profile.
    • id SHALL NOT be present.
    • meta.versionId SHALL NOT be present.
    • meta.lastUpdated SHALL NOT be present.
    • subject SHALL reference an existing HealthcareService or PractitionerRole implemented by the PCA Publisher Agent (i.e. the target FHIR server)
    • instantiatesCanonical SHALL reference the information use statement (i.e. a Contract resource) whose legal.content[x].data element was viewed by the person responsible for making the publication decision recorded via the new Contract resource.
    • author SHALL be a local reference to a contained resource of type PCA Publication Approver.
    • status SHALL use the code 'executed'.

    This operation can be used to record a decision made by an authorised representative of a publisher organisation to revoke an existing authorisation to publish, or to record that a new version of a partner service's information use statement has been accepted:

    • Revocation is implemented using this operation by updating the status of an existing Contract resource to 'revoked'.
    • Accepting a new version of a partner service's information use statement is implemented using this operation by updating the instantiatesCanonical of an existing Contract resource to reference a new information use statement.

    To re-authorise publication after revoking, create a new Contract resource.

    If any of the following data validation rules are violated in the input resource, then the request is rejected and the error code 422 is returned:

    • The resource SHALL conform to the PCA Publication Authorisation Record profile.
    • id SHALL be identical to the corresponding value in the version of the Contract identified in the 'if-match' HTTP header.
    • meta.versionId SHALL NOT be present.
    • meta.lastUpdated SHALL NOT be present.
    • subject SHALL be identical to the corresponding value in the version of the Contract identified in the 'if-match' HTTP header.
    • author SHALL be identical to the corresponding value in the version of the Contract identified in the 'if-match' HTTP header.
    • Updates to instantiatesCanonical SHALL only be permitted where the version of the Contract identified in the 'if-match' HTTP header has a status of 'executed', and status is not also being updated.
    • Updates to status SHALL only be permitted where the status is being updated to revoked, and instantiatesCanonical is not also being updated.
    • If instantiatesCanonical is being updated, the partner service referenced by the subject of the information use statement referenced in instantiatesCanonical SHALL have an active value of 'true'.
    • If instantiatesCanonical is being updated, the partner service referenced by the subject of the information use statement referenced in instantiatesCanonical SHALL be identical to the previous subject of the information use statement referenced in instantiatesCanonical in the version of the Contract identified in the 'if-match' HTTP header.

    If the 'if-match' HTTP header is not provided in the request, then the PCA Publisher Agent will reject the request and return the error code 400.

    If the 'if-match' HTTP header does not match the current version, then the PCA Publisher Agent will reject the request and return the error code 412.
