General Information
MetaHub

The ‘MetaHub’ component is introduced to support the interconnection between ‘Hubs’. This component is accessible to ‘recognized’ hubs. The word ‘hub’ denotes the kernel of a ‘recognized’ regional or sub regional health network.

The main purpose of the MetaHub is to allow a hub to know where it can find information about a patient outside of its network. More precisely, the MetaHub simply provides the list of hubs that have information about a patient. It is not the MetaHub’s role to know where, within a (sub)regional health network, the information is stored.

The MetaHub is thus more a ‘locator service’ than a ‘routing component’: there are no ‘document’ exchanges transiting throughout the component. MetaHub v2 also allows the hubs to consult and manage the registration of patient consents and exclusions1. A major feature is that the hubs themselves feed the MetaHub. See figure below.


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.

The three following generic elements are, in particular, essentials to build the request and the reply of eHealth MetaHub WS.
