What you'll be able to do
- Describe how an NHS trust's integration estate is governed, and who can stop an interface going live
- Handle patient identity correctly — the NHS Number, local identifiers, the ADT lifecycle, updates and merges — and say what each failure does to a patient record
- Read an order and a result clinically: statuses, abnormal flags, reference ranges, and partial, corrected and cancelled results
- Map local codes to SNOMED CT, LOINC and dm+d, and say what happens to a code that has no mapping
- Convert an HL7 v2 feed to FHIR UK Core, and name the three things that do not survive the crossing
- Specify imaging and document exchange, including ITK3 over MESH, and say what each layer guarantees
- Apply UK information governance to an interface — lawful basis, Caldicott, the national data opt-out and the DSP Toolkit
- Write a hazard log a Clinical Safety Officer could sign, and say where DCB0129 ends and DCB0160 begins
- Design an integration estate, and plan a migration and a cutover that can be rolled back
Who this is for
Interface analysts who build in a trust and now have to decide *what* to build. Integration architects and technical leads in UK healthcare. Anyone who will put their name on an interface specification, a data flow record or a clinical safety case.
What is assumed
Everything in ECIF and ECSIA. You can read an HL7 v2 message without looking anything up, and you can describe what a channel does. This course does not re-teach either, and lesson 1.1 says so plainly.
What makes it different
Every outcome is a judgement rather than a skill. Not *what is an A40* but *this merge arrives with an eleven-year difference in date of birth — do you apply it?* Not *what is SNOMED* but *this local code covers both infarction and haemorrhage, so what do you map it to and what do you write down?*
The material is the part of the job that is not in any standard: which failure is worse, who decides, what you are claiming when you sign.
What it covers
Patient identity and the ADT lifecycle. Orders and results read clinically. SNOMED CT, LOINC and dm+d. FHIR and UK Core, and the crosswalk from the v2 feed you already have. Imaging and clinical documents, ITK3 and MESH. UK information governance, Caldicott and the national data opt-out. DCB0129 and DCB0160, and how to write a hazard log. Then the design of an estate, and moving a hospital from one system to another without stopping it.
Where it sits
ECHIA is the third of three. (ECIF) EduQan Certified Integration Foundations teaches reading; (ECSIA) EduQan Certified Systems Integration Engineer teaches building; ECHIA is the healthcare specialisation, and it assumes both.
