Background
Foundational IHE Profiles and pan-Canadian Interoperability Specifications address critical interoperability issues such as user authorization (e.g. IUA), security node and audit records (e.g. ATNA), consistent time (e.g. CT), terminology (e.g. SVCM), document transformation/formatting (e.g. CA:FMT) and more.
Assumption
Vendors and jurisdictions in the ecosystem can optionally choose to play the standardized actors and transactions listed in the Foundational Profiles for the PS-CA Specification. Additional information and requirements for these Foundational Profiles can be found below. Vendors or jurisdictions may decide not to implement optional IHE profiles listed below, however it is highly recommended that areas pertaining to authentication, auditing and security are being addressed using solutions that currently exist in their respective enterprise architecture.
IHE Profiles, Specifications and Guidance included:
- Audit Trail and Node Authentication (ATNA)
- Canadian Network Security (CA:Sec) Implementation Guidance
- Canadian Audit Trail (CA:Aud) Implementation Guidance
- Internet User Authorization Profile (IUA)
- Consistent Time (CT)
- Sharing Valuesets, Codes and Maps (SVCM)
