Domain Manager

The Domain Manager displays information about each external system that shares data with the PIX/PDQ Manager. In IHE terminology, these external systems are called domains. In adherence with IHE requirements, the following information is stored for each domain:

• The domain name, called the namespace ID. This can be identical to the system code or name used by the master index.

• The domain's universal ID.

• The domain's encoding scheme (ISO).

• The endpoint type and receiving URL for PIX update notifications.

• A description of the domain.

• The length and format of the local identifiers assigned by the domain.

• The application and facility for HL7 v2 messaging domains, or the device and organization for HL7 v3 messaging domains.

You can make updates to existing domain information, add new domains, and delete domains using the Domain Manager. Once you save any updates you make, the Domain manager propagates the information to the sbyn_systems table in the master index database and to the pix_pdq_systems table, which supports the domain lookup interface.

If you modify domain information, you need to restart the GlassFish server in order for the changes to take effect in the PIX/PDQ Manager.

The Domain Manager also handles subscriptions to outbound notifications of updates to patient information, letting you add, delete, and modify these subscriptions. You can also view the available endpoint types for subscriptions.
