The eHealth integration toolkits are a collection of integration tools and sample code resources available in both .NET and Java. The sample code and integration tools are used within the eHealth Reference Platform, forming part of the code library for tools and simulators.

Access to sample code and the eHealth Reference Platform’s online simulator services is supported by a right-to-use licence and terms and conditions.

The Clinical Documents Integration Toolkit contains libraries for the creation, packaging and presentation of clinical documents through the use of style sheets.

Clinical Documents Integration Toolkit in the Australian context

The sample code and integration tools provided in the Clinical Documents Integration Toolkit should only be used in conjunction with the Australian Digital Health Agency’s detailed specifications for clinical documents and national infrastructure and, where appropriate, with technical and other connectivity instruction provided by the national infrastructure operators.

Update to accommodate a requirement introduced by a security patch for the .NET framework that was published by Microsoft on 8 March 2016.
August, 2015
Completed
To support updated specifications (pathology, diagnostics, event summary, shared health summary and discharge summary). Clinical Document Data Extractor to support updated specifications including Adverse Reaction Type and some of the product component file names have been renamed along with the product data sheets.

November, 2014
Completed
This release includes an updated version of the CDA Document Library (.NET) which supports the PCEHR R5 documents Pathology Report and Diagnostic Imaging Report and a new Java version of the CDA Document Library which supports a limited set of CDA documents. It also includes an updated generic style sheet to support the two new PCEHR R5 document types, along with a few bug fixes and enhancements. Finally the Java CDA Packaging Library has been updated and aligned with all other Java-based code to support up to Java version 7.2.1.
