It is not the task of the MetaHub to store or to manage any data regarding ‘therapeutic links’ nor is it the purpose of the MetaHub to register or verify the therapeutic links. However, for some types of therapeutic links for which an authentic source is defined and available, the MetaHub will offer a ‘relay’ service to the hubs to check the existence of such a therapeutic link. Again, the interface of the services is more ‘generic’ (in order to be aligned with the specifications defined at the hub level and to potentially support other kinds of therapeutic links if required). For more information on the methods to use, please refer to the WS TherapeuticLink cookbook.
PutTherapeuticLink
Allows a hub to declare the therapeutic links. Its main purpose is to allow one to declare a therapeutic link.
RevokeTherapeuticLink
Allows a hub to revoke the therapeutic links. Its main purpose is to allow one to “end” the (declaration of a) therapeutic link.
GetTherapeuticLink
Allows a hub to consult therapeutic links according to basic search parameters. Its main purpose is to allow one to check the existence of the therapeutic links when executing a consultation process.
KMEHR
This service is a ‘KMEHR-based’ WS. We thus strongly recommend consulting the documentation related to the KMEHR normative elements. The KMEHR site aims to offer a central point for the documentation of the KMEHR normative elements.
id: This element is used to uniquely identify key elements like request, response of the WS, patient, HCParty. It can also be used to specify any unique identifier: this section is completely based on the description from the KMEHR standard, as can be found on: https://www.ehealth.fgov.be/standards/kmehr/en/page/key-elements#id
HC Party: The hcparty element is a generic element that aims to represent any kind of healthcare party: organization, physician, medical specialty, or even IT systems: this section is entirely based on the description from the KMEHR standard, as can be found on: https://www.ehealth.fgov.be/standards/kmehr/en/page/hcparty
