A citizen or Telemedicine Solution project may discover a clinical document that should not appear in the national document sharing infrastructure. For the citizen, this may be found through the national patient portal sundhed.dk.

In this case, this standard service request can be requested.

Required Input from Requester

  • Person Identifier (Danish: CPR) for the citizen

  • Document Id for clinical document. This is the identifier of the document, technically registered as attribute uniqueId in the document metadata.

For further information on the uniqueId, see the Danish national XDS Metadata profile described in the folder https://svn.medcom.dk/svn/releases/Standarder/IHE/DK_profil_metadata/ .

Request Outcome

Technically, making the clinical document “disappear” happens through deprecation of the document metadata. The document metadata and document are not deleted. Instead, the document metadata status changes from active to deprecated, thereby not appearing in queries for active document metadata.

For the eHealth Infrastructure to deprecate document metadata, it is required that the document and document metadata originate and is registered by the eHealth Infrastructure in the national document sharing infrastructure. This is verified by the eHealth Infrastructure, and if not the case, the outcome is an error.

When change of document metadata to deprecated status is successful, this is reflected in the outcome.

For an Appointment registered as an Appointment Document in the national document sharing infrastructure by the eHealth Infrastructure, deprecation by this standard service request has the consequence that subsequent updates to the Appointment are not reflected in new Appointment Documents being registered.
