Welcome to the client-registry wiki!

The Mohawk College MARC-HI/MEDIC Client Registry Reference Implementation represents the prototype Client Registry (Enterprise Master Patient Index - EMPI) developed under our Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) grant to build a test version of the pan-Canadian Electronic Health Record System blueprint as prescribed by Canada Health Infoway.

The reference implementation software supports many standards based interfaces including:

• Support for pan-Canadian Messaging (HL7v3) R02.04.01
• IHE PIX Version 3 
• IHE PDQ Version 3 
• IHE PIX v2.x (HL7v2.3.1 ADT feed, verified IHE CAT NA2015)
• IHE PDQ v2.x (HL7v2.5,verified IHE CAT NA2015)
• IHE PDQm (verified IHE CAT NA2015)

In addition to these standards based interface, the client registry:

• Can act as a Patient Identity Feed (PIXv3) to other actors,
• Supports RFC-3881 (ATNA for IHE interfaces) auditing,
• Provides support for advanced matching/merging algorithms,
• Soundex Matching
• Pattern Matching
• Name Variant Matching
• Provides a custom management interface for merging duplicate patient information,
• Provides an easy-to-use configuration/deployment tool,
• Provides a highly scalable infrastructure via support for PostgreSQL synchronous streaming replication
• Supports query continuation, and persistence,
• Supports message logging and long-term execute-once detection,
• Provides a highly extensible platform for custom interfaces and modules.

This reference implementation project is intended to assist developers in the development of Client Registry software, customer interfaces (as a test interface), in demonstration XDS infrastructures, or in staging environments.
