Recipient Registry
The CDX infrastructure has a provider registry, which contains address information about all CDX-capable providers and clinics.
OSCAR has traditionally kept its own database of specialists. The CDX extension of OSCAR allows users to query the CDX provider registry and add/edit CDX capable providers in OSCAR’s database.
Adding new CDX-capable specialists
The “Add Specialist” UI has been extended to add CDX-capable specialists (click the Add CDX-Enabled Specialist link at the top).
Extended UI for adding specialists
The new dialogue allows the user to search the CDX provider registry for providers to add to OSCAR. The search is based on any letters and returns all providers with these letters in their names.
CDX Provider Registry Search
The search should return a list of specialists that meet the search criteria. They can be added using the add button.
Registry search results
⚠️ At this point, Interior Health Authority’s provider registry does not provide the speciality of specialist providers. Therefore, the speciality needs to be added manually in the usual way:
Show All Services → Select a service, e.g., Cardiology → Select the specialists that provide this service → Click Update
Updating existing specialists
Clinics will likely have existing specialists in their EMR database. OSCAR allows users to update these records where existing specialists are found to be CDX capable. This can be done automatically or manually. The Edit Specialists UI has a new Test CDX Availability function that (if invoked) will test the CDX availability of all specialists stored at the clinic (and update the local database accordingly).
