Proposal: Patient Registry Request Add Patient

This is a proposal for consideration by the PAFM working group at the WGM in September 2008.

Use-case

This is a new use-case not (yet) covered by the international HL7 version 3 standard. The storyboard is as follows:

1. There is a new born baby. This person is not known in the Folkeregister. The clinical system which deals with the information about the birth sends a request to the Patient Registry for an H-number (emergency number). The request contains: Birth date, sex, name, address, kommunenr and maybe bydel. The Patient Registry responds with an ID (H-number) and the set of demographics detail as provided in the request.
2. The clinical system for emergency patients sends a request to the Patient Registry to register the new patient. The clinical system has verified with the Folkeregister: the person is known in that registry. The request to the Patient Registry contains: F- or D-number, Birth date, sex, marital status, names, address, kommunenr and maybe bydel that has been found in the Folkeregister. The Patient Registry responds with a confirmation that the patient was successfully registered, as well as with a full set of demographics details. The request to add the patient will fail if the patient already exists (the PatientRegistry.getDemographics method should have been used instead).

As stated above this storyboard isn’t supported in the HL7 version 3 standard. However, the following Storyboard is close to it: http://www.hl7.org/v3ballot2008MAY/html/domains/uvpa/uvpa_Patient.htm#PRPA_ST201311UV02-str. The payload models of both the request as well as the response will be similar to this model: http://www.hl7.org/v3ballot2008MAY/html/domains/uvpa/uvpa_Patient.htm#PRPA_RM201303UV02-rmi
