TEST: OHIE-CR-16-HL7v2

Valid Patient Identity Merge

This test will ensure that the client registry can appropriately handle a merge condition whereby a local assigning authority notifies the client registry of a local merge (two local identifiers are in fact the same person).

Pre-Conditions / Setup

Setup the receiver such that OID 2.16.840.1.113883.3.72.5.9.1 has assigning authority of TEST which can be assigned from TEST_HARNESS

Ensure that the following patient is registered in the receiver (can be done with the ADT message provided). Name: Jennifer Jones, id: RJ-439^^^TEST, gender: F, dob: 1984-01-25

Test Step 1:

Test harness sends a query to verify there are two Jennifer Jones with identifiers assigned in TEST domain.

Expected Behaviour

  • Receiver responds with an AA

  • Receiver indicates records found with QAK of OK

  • Receiver sends two PID segments one having identifier RJ-439 in domain TEST in PID-3 and another having RJ-999 in domain TEST in PID-3

Test Step 2:

Test harness sends a merge message and instructs the recipient to merge identifier RJ-999 into record RJ-439.

Expected Behaviour

  • Receiver responds with an AA

Test Step 3:

Test harness verifies the identifier was merged using the following PIX query.

Expected Behaviour

  • Receiver responds with an AA

  • Receiver indicates data found by sending QAK of OK

  • Receiver responds with exactly one PID segment having :

    • One PID-3 containing the RJ-439 identifier in domain TEST

    • One PID-3 containing the RJ-999 identifier in domain TEST

Test Step 4:

Test harness verifies old identifier is de-referenced from patient record

Expected Behaviour

  • Receiver accepts the message with AE

  • Receiver conveys no data found with AE in QAK

  • Receiver indicates error by sending an ERR segment with QPD^1^3^1^1

Test Step 5:

Test harness may send a query to verify there are still two Jennifer Jones in the target (i.e. the old record still exists, but the identifiers were merely merged).

Expected Behaviour

  • Receiver responds with an AA

  • Receiver indicates records found with QAK of OK

  • Receiver sends two PID segments one having identifier RJ-439 and RJ-999 in domain TEST in PID-3 and another having no identifiers in domain TEST in PID-3
