A key component of the eHealth Infrastructure security model is to switch context. Switching context means that the user asks the AS to issue a new set of tokens where the content of the Access token contains a new context. The parameters for requesting a new context are any of the following:
- Careteam
- Patient
- Episode of Care
- Organization
In order to set a context, the requester needs to obtain what is available to be set in context. The available contexts for any given user can be obtained by querying (HTTP GET with the current Access token) the AS at the path /auth/realms/{realm name}/resource/ehealth-connect/contexts. The result is an expanded tree that lists available careteams and organizations, e.g.:
{ "care_teams": [ { "id": "https://fut.com/fhir/CareTeam/4", "name": "Careteam Nord" "affiliation": { "id": "https://fut.com/fhir/Organization/38", "name": "Region Midtjylland, Aarhus Universitetshospital, Lungesygdomme" } }, { "id": "https://fut.com/fhir/CareTeam/6", "name": "Careteam Syd" "affiliation": { "id": "https://fut.com/fhir/Organization/1", "name": "Aarhus Kommune, Center Syd" } } ], "organizations": [ { "id": "https://fut.com/fhir/Organization/1", "name": "Aarhus Kommune, Center Syd", }, { "id": "https://fut.com/fhir/Organization/2", "name": "Æbeltoft Kommune, Afdeling Vest", } ] }
Setting the context
In order to set the context, the AS can be requested with a valid access token using an HTTP POST (x-www-form-urlencoded) against auth/realms/{realm name}/protocol/openid-connect/token with the required and optional parameters listed below. The result is a valid Access Token Response[1] where the access token in the response will have the requested context set.

Pararmeter name | Description |
---|---|
client_id | Required. The OAuth2 client id |
grant_type | Required. Fixed to the value of the of ‘refresh_token’ |
refresh_token | Required. The refresh token of the current session |
care_team_id (context) | Optional. A valid absolute FHIR URI pointing to a Careteam resource. This adds implicit organization context given the organization constraint in the OIO BPP structure |
organization_id (context) | Optional. A valid absolute FHIR URI pointing to an Organization resource |
episode_of_care_id (context) | Optional. This adds implicit patient context. A valid absolute FHIR URI pointing to an Episode of Care resource |
patient_id (context) | Optional. A valid absolute FHIR URI pointing to a Patient resource |
