Policy of extraction
 
 

For the period covered by the entire MML indicated by “start” and “end”, the value of “hasOtherInfo” should be “true” if patient’s clinical information extends beyond the period. If all patient information held by the sending facility within the period is described in an MML instance, the value of “isExtract” should be “false”; if any extraction is carried out, the value should be “true”. Furthermore, in the latter case, the extraction policy should be given in “extractPolicy”. This is to clarify whether all or partial patient information is received at the reception side of the MML instance. If it is assumed that all information is received despite the fact that only partial information is received, a serious mistake in medical treatment may occur.

encryptInfo

Description: encryption information such as electronic signature. The description method is not specified in particular. Refer to the “Access rights and encryption” section in the basic policy.
