“Firebird” is a service that uses the internet to securely and quickly provide healthcare information to other facilities.
Healthcare information is communicated using Healthcare Information Tokens (ISO/TS 22691).

・Firebird uses the cloudPDI system proposed by the Japan IHE Association to transfer data.
・Data IDs and passwords are communicated using Healthcare Information Tokens (ISO/TS 22691).

Sender:

Select the data to be sent and the recipient. Initiate the sending process.

• A data ID and encrypted common key (password) are generated, and a Healthcare Information Token is created.
• The data is encrypted with the password and uploaded to a cloud-based FHIR repository along with the data ID.
• The Healthcare Information Token is encrypted with the recipient’s public key and sent securely through a separate route from the data.

Recipient:

• The Healthcare Information Token is decrypted with the private key to extract the data ID and password.
• The data is downloaded from the FHIR repository using the data ID.
• The data is decrypted with the password and saved.

The data is then imported into the internal system.

• Patients are not kept waiting.
• Receiving facilities can import data before the patient arrives.
• There is no risk of data leakage due to lost items.
• The data itself is encrypted, ensuring security.
• Reduces the burden of managing consumables.
• Can be used in conjunction with traditional disc-based operations.
• Implemented using standard protocols such as FHIR, so it is safe and secure.
• Can be implemented at a low cost.

The following types of healthcare information can be securely sent to other healthcare institutions over the internet.
The receiving healthcare institution must also use Firebird to access this information.

• Healthcare information reports (FHIR)
• Healthcare images (DICOM)
• Test results (HL7 v2.5/FHIR)
• Prescriptions (HL7 v2.5/FHIR)
• Discharge summaries (FHIR)

• Exporting in-house data
  • Create datasets using applications with PDI disk creation features such as AOC7 web Export (CD/DVD).
  • Send data created with other PDI disk creation software.
  • Create datasets in conjunction with electronic healthcare records (planned)
• Selecting destination facility
  • Choose the destination using applications with CD/DVD creation features such as AOC7 web Export.
  • Alternatively, use the dedicated Firebird gateway application to specify the destination.
• Sending
  • The Firebird gateway automatically uploads the dataset to the repository and sends the Healthcare Information Token to the destination facility through a separate route.
• Receiving
  • The Firebird gateway automatically downloads, decrypts, and extracts the data from the repository upon receiving the Healthcare Information Token.
• Importing into in-house systems
  • Import received data into in-house systems (PACS, SS-MIX, electronic healthcare records) using importers such as Preludio.
• Management functions
  • Manage users
  • Display send/receive history
  • Configure various settings
• Data types that can be sent
  • Healthcare information reports (FHIR)
  • Healthcare images (DICOM)
  • Test results (HL7 v2.5/FHIR)
  • Prescriptions (HL7 v2.5/FHIR)
  • Discharge summaries (FHIR)
