Surescripts Health Information Network Interconnect FHIR Master Patient Index Load 1.0.0

Participants use FHIR® messages to provide Surescripts Health Information Network their member roster of patients that have given consent to be populated in the Surescripts Health Information Network Interconnect Master Patient Index (MPI). Surescripts Health Information Network uses that data from the Participants to establish uniqueness for individuals across all Participants. Surescripts Health Information Network search process uses demographics to identify a patient and then uses the Participants’s unique member ID to communicate with the requesting and responding locations.

Some things to consider with the Interconnect FHIR MPI messages:

• To load patients to the Interconnect MPI, customers will use the FHIR Patient resource profile created by Surescripts Health Information Network.

• The message will be a POST with only a Patient FHIR payload.

• Surescripts Health Information Network supports JSON and XML messages.

• HTTP headers are required.

• Surescripts Health Information Network uses the Active field in the FHIR Patient resource to determine whether to set the expiration date for sharing the patient:

  • Active = true: Indicates the patient can be shared (MPI expiration date should be null/empty).
  • Active = false: Indicates the patient cannot be shared (MPI expiration date should be set to the system date).
  • Active = empty: FHIR processing will default to false and the patient will be inactivated (MPI expiration date will be set to the system date).
  • Note: If the patient opts out of information sharing from a specific customer, they should be excluded or inactivated from the Interconnect MPI File Load.
