CONNECT Development

Created Healthcare Provider Directory client as a plug-in to query any HPD server with simple queries to validate understanding of the HPD.
- Source code can be found in the plug-in folder.
Switched from cxf-bundle to individual CXF jars to avoid dependency conflicts and lessen the Connect footprint.
Nightly build was updated to include automated outbound Direct test that was created last sprint.
Team discussed HIMSS demo use case which would be developing and displaying CONNECT adapters with FHIR integration.
- The adapters will be included for the Patient Discovery, Document Query, and Document Retrieve services.
- The adapters will act as proxies and data transformers into a FHIR capable server. In order to show integration into any FHIR capable server, we will use an open web tool such as HAPI FHIR Server (http://fhirtest.uhn.ca/) as our backend FHIR server. We should be capable of demonstrating switching to any FHIR capable server, given we have existing test data in that server to show.
Admin GUI Gateway configuration updates
- Updated documentation(manual and test cases) to reflect enhancements made.
