The HIPS Structured Pathology Adapter (HIPS SPA) is an optional add-on component for sites running HIPS v7.1 or higher, which exposes web services for authoring pathology report CDA documents and uploading these via the existing HIPS installation. The adapter is intended to alleviate the burden of creating CDA documents from information sourced from local clinical information systems. It is released as an add-on component.
Key features of the adaptor are:
- Creation and upload of Level 3A CDA Pathology Report documents. Integrators may supply a request to HIPS SPA comprising an HL7 v2 ORU^R01 pathology results message, including or accompanied by a PDF version of the report. HIPS SPA will create a Level 3A Pathology Report document from these inputs and upload this via the existing HIPS installation.
- Support for document revision by uploading superseding versions. New versions of documents may be uploaded as superseding documents.
- Support for structured pathology results within the generated CDA document.
- Provides a SOAP web service with the same SOAP contract as the V2 pathology web service (PathologyImagingServiceV2.UploadOrRemovePathology) already available in HIPS to simplify integration for existing pathology sites.
- Secure by default with default configuration utilising HTTPS. By default the adapter will install with an HTTPS binding. HIPS SPA supports the ability to configure the binding and the authentication scheme in use.
- Configuration via the HIPS Core Configuration API with settings held in the database. HIPS SPA retrieves its configuration via the Configuration component in the new HIPS Core APIs(v1.0).
Moving forward, all HIPS products will make use of these common APIs rather than having their own methods for configuration.
