Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora Shared Care FHIR API - Local Development build (v0.4.2) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions
The Dunedin Hospital digital programme is implementing a number of integrations between various third party products
used within the outpatient function as defined in the solution architecture.
These include but are not limited to interfaces between the following Group 4 solutions:
Cardiobase – Southern district Cardiology information system
Karisma – Southern district Radiology information system
Pinga - Clinic Room Scheduling by SORSIX; a cloud-based platform that manages clinic room bookings and associates
clinic sessions with rooms
PQMS - Patient Queue Management System by Five Faces; a cloud-based platform that streamlines patient readiness
for care, self-check-in, patient engagement and optimizes patient flow. From the pre-arrival process, through to
post-appointment, patients are supported and offered personalized information and updates regarding their appointment.
SIPICS – South Island Patient Administration System (PAS) by McCrae Tech (formerly Orion Health)
The original design developed with NTT used Southern Rhapsody as the main integration method between group 4 systems.
Subsequently, a decision was made and endorsed by the NDH DSDA to adopt a FHIR integration approach using the national
integration capabilities, MuleSoft, National Event Management Service (NEMS) and AWS FHIR Works.
However, it was determined that some systems only supported a single outbound path and that in order to support legacy
requirements, it would be necessary to continue to use some legacy Rhapsody routes until such time as those systems
could be fully migrated to FHIR RESTful interfaces (which were beyond the scope of this work).
Where possible, a standards-based collection of FHIR APIs are implemented to expose Patient, Appointment, and associated
FHIR resources from the relevant systems.
A limited set of update APIs enable Patient and Appointment updates to the source systems and vendors will enhance the
capabilities of their systems to consume these.
