6.1 Embedded blocks
6.1.1 Embedded Meta block
The additional meta-information "blocks" are added to ensure the receiving registry is aware of:
- A message identifier
- A timestamp
- What registry sent the information (sender)
- What type of information is contained
- /* Pending */ Any failed validations detected by the Match Connect system
metaInformation | |
---|---|
messageId | string($uuid) |
sentAtUtc | string($date-time) Server-supplied timestamp showing UTC time of Message delivery to recipient's inbox queue. |
sender | string maximum: 9999 minimum: 0 maxLength: 4 minLength: 4 example: 5678 4 digit ION of sender |
messageType | string Enum: |
6.1.2 Embedded Address block
Original message: Address to broadcast [NEW_ADD]
With this message block, the contact information of the hub's institutions, namely Financial institutions, Transplant Centers and Laboratories are shared with the partner hubs. Thus a partner hub has all the required contact information for the Institution contained in Donor Requests.
- Hubs are required to keep this contact information up to date.
- It’s not only useless but forbidden to give a postbox (POB) in a LAB address since this address is used for delivery of samples. For the same reason ZIP code, City and Country are required in the address block.
In the Match-Connect system, the addresses will be embedded in the donor requests. See chapter Requests for details.
Consider to use address block structure according to HL7-FHIR standard. (HP's suggestion, requires discussion/checking the standard regarding the institution ID field, the accreditation field and the extension of the use field):
https://hapifhir.io/hapi-fhir/apidocs/hapi-fhir-structures-r4/org/hl7/fhir/r4/model/Address.html
e.g.
Suggested format | Suggested field | Description | Mapping to ADD_NEW |
The name of the city, town, suburb, village or other community or delivery center. | City CITY Req 40 | ||
Country - a nation as commonly understood or generally accepted. | Country COUNTRY Req 2 | ||
The name of the administrative area (county). | Address Line 2 ADDR_2 Opt 40 | ||
This component contains the house number, apartment number, street name, street direction, P.O. | Address Line 3 ADDR_3 Opt 40 | ||
Time period when address was/is in use. | new - Opt | ||
A postal code designating a region defined by the postal service. | ZIP code ZIP Req 10 | ||
Sub-unit of a country with limited sovereignty in a federally organized country. | new - Opt | ||
Specifies the entire address as it should be displayed e.g. | new - Opt | ||
Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. | new - Req | ||
The purpose of this address. | Institution Type INST_TYPE Req 3 |
Missing fields from ADD_NEW with Albert's comments for consideration:
- Institution Identification INST_ID Req 10 - not needed anymore, as the full address will be sent embedded in every request
- Address Line 1 ADDR_1 Req 40 - needs to be added, as the structure above has it only in field "text" that seems optional
- Contact person PERSON Opt 40 - better to have a separate field
- Phone Number PHONE Req 20 - better to have a separate field
- Fax Number FAX Opt 20 - better to have a separate field
- Email address EMAIL Opt 60 - better to have a separate field
- Accreditations obtained ACCREDITATION Opt 5 - is it still being used by anyone?
- Position 1: NetCord-FACT
- Position 2: AABB
- Position 3: to be defined
- Position 4: to be defined
- Position 5: to be defined
6.1.3 Embedded Patient Block
There is no register patient endpoint. Instead, an embedded patient block will accompany all requests. The embedded patient block looks as follows:
patient | |
---|---|
wmdaId* | integer nullable: false example: 1234 ID provided by the WMDA |
patientId* | string maxLength: 17 nullable: false example: P1234XX Organisation unique identifier for patient. Cannot be set unless "legalTerms" is set to "true". Do not use real names here. |
hla* | {...} |
idm | {...} |
dateOfBirth | string($date) nullable: true maxLength: 10 example: 1961-05-27 |
diagnosis | {...} |
diseasePhase | string nullable: trueEnum: Array [ 48 ] |
ethnicity | string nullable: trueEnum: Array [ 20 ] |
poolCountryCode | string maxLength: 2 pattern: ^[A-Z]{2} nullable: true example: NL ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 Country Code (capitalized) |
abo | string nullable: trueEnum: Array [ 4 ] |
rhesus | string nullable: trueEnum: Array [ 2 ] |
weight | integer nullable: true minimum: 1 maximum: 999 example: 76 |
sex | string nullable: trueEnum: Array [ 2 ] |
firstName | string maxLength: 30 nullable: true example: John First (given name) of the patient |
lastName | string maxLength: 30 nullable: true example: Doe Last (family name) of the patient |
6.1.4 Embedded Donor Block
In EMDIS, the following messages are linked to the donor updates:
- InfectiousDiseaseMarkerResultRequest (IDM_RES)
- TypingResponseRequest (TYP_RES)
- NoResultRequest (NO_RES)
- ReservationResultRequest (RSV_RES)
These donor updates are for the receiving registry (patient registry) only and will not be updated in the central HUB. So the sending (donor) registry is responsible to send a DIFF upload to the S&M system in parallel to keep information in sync.
In the future a block for ADCUs may come to play.
Donor type | Payload |
---|---|
Adult donor | |
CBU | |
ADCU |
Here is the comparison of the DONOR_CB and the API endpoints: EMDIS vs API.xlsx
6.2 Message Response
The message response is intended as an automated response to every user generated message. It serves three purposes:
- message acknowledgment
- warning
- message denial
This is a purely machine-to-machine type of message, as compared to EMDIS where such responses can be user generated.
Note: The concept of the REF_CODE field used in EMDIS is replaced by the GUID assigned by the central system to each message. The Message Response is supposed to be using the GUID of the original message as the Reference ID in its structure.
Message structure:
Send | Retrieve | ||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
post_api_v1_MessageResponse | |||||||||||||||||||||
Request
Response
| MessageResponse payload Meta block (6.1.1) |
6.3 Text message [TXT_MSG]
The TXT_MSG is useful to convey notes or comments pertaining to a particular patient, donor, or patient/donor pair.
Note: Since Warnings are going to be automated, we must keep Text Messages as the only means for user communication left.
Message structure:
Send | Retrieve |
---|---|
post_api_v1_TextMessageRequest | |
| TextMessage payload Meta block (6.1.1) |
6.4 Alert message
The Alert message is used to broadcast an important information about the system, like planned service outage. Messages are generated centrally by WMDA. Members are expected to display them to the users.
Message structure:
Send | Retrieve |
---|---|
get_api_v1_AlertRetrieve | |
Alerts can only be sent by the WMDA's central system | Alert Payload:
Meta block (6.1.1) |
6.5 Alert Update message
The Alert Update message is used to broadcast an update about some previous alert. Messages are generated centrally by WMDA. Members are expected to display them to the users.
Message structure:
Send | Retrieve |
---|---|
get_api_v1_AlertUpdateRetrieve | |
Alert updates can only be sent by the WMDA's central system | Alert Update Payload:
Meta block (6.1.1) |
