PUBLIC HEALTH & REGISTRIES CONNECTORS
Overview
1 of 6Connect authorized public-health authorities and registries with governed reporting, longitudinal registry updates and population-health workflows.
SurveillanceRegistriesImmunizationScreeningFHIRMSISGovernance
Stronger Public Health
Support timely reporting, surveillance and prevention.
Compliant by Design
Apply legal-basis, privacy and minimization controls.
Standardized & Interoperable
Use FHIR/IHE and standard terminologies through MSIS.
Better Population Health
Enable trusted population-level insight and action.
How It Works
1
Clinical Event
Diagnosis, lab result, vaccination, hospitalization or other event
2
Eligibility & Rules
Determine reportability/program/registry applicability
3
MSIS Validation
Normalize codes, units, terminology and data quality
4
Consent & Legal Basis
Mandatory reporting, consent or other authorized basis
5
Public Health Connector
Transform and send FHIR/API/SFTP/national format
6
Authority / Registry
Receive, validate and acknowledge
Key Public Health & Registry Domains
Notifiable Diseases
Infectious-disease and mandatory-event reporting.
Immunizations
Vaccination registries and coverage programs.
Clinical Registries
Cancer, rare disease and other condition registries.
Screening Programs
Organized prevention and follow-up programs.
Chronic Disease
Population-level chronic-disease reporting and programs.
Environmental Health
Exposure, air quality, climate and population signals.
Example Authorities & Registries
| Authority / ecosystem | Examples | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Luxembourg health authorities | Surveillance, vaccination, registries | Planned / authority-specific |
| Santé publique France / national programs | Surveillance and organized programs | Planned / authority-specific |
| ECDC / EU networks | Cross-border surveillance | Planned / governed |
| Other national registries | Country-specific registry interfaces | On demand / adapter-based |
Architecture
1
Data Sources
EHR, LIS, pharmacy, imaging, devices and public data
2
MSIS
Clinical semantic normalization and quality
3
Governance
Legal basis, minimization, purpose and access
4
Public Health Connectors
FHIR/API/IHE/SFTP/national adapters
5
Authorities & Registries
Reporting, acknowledgement and updates
6
Monitoring
Reconciliation, corrections and audit
Standards & Compliance
| Standard / framework | Use | Status |
|---|---|---|
| HL7 FHIR | Reporting/registry resources and APIs | Profile-dependent |
| IHE profiles | Document/identity/public-health exchange where applicable | Profile-dependent |
| SNOMED CT / LOINC / ICD / UCUM | Terminology and units through MSIS | Semantic layer |
| National reporting formats | Authority-specific payloads | Adapter-specific |
| EHDS / EEHRxF | EU alignment for applicable future obligations | Future/staged |
Business Value
Meet mandatory reporting obligations with less manual work
Improve timeliness and data quality
Support prevention and organized programs
Provide auditable authority acknowledgements/corrections
Enable authorized population insights while protecting identifiable data
Developer Integration Surface
How developers interact with this capability
Public-health connectors are authority-specific. Documentation should identify whether an adapter is implemented, planned, sandbox-only or awaiting official onboarding rather than imply universal support.
| Surface | Operation / resource | Use | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| FHIR / authority API | submit / update / query report or registry entry | Structured reporting | Authority/profile-specific |
| Batch / SFTP | scheduled national files | Legacy/large-volume reporting | Authority-specific |
| Webhooks/events | acknowledgement / rejection / correction | Async status | Provider-dependent |
| MSIS | normalize / validate terminology | Clinical semantics | Semantic service |
| Public Health API | eligibility / reporting orchestration | Mediloop app integration | Planned/versioned |
Next Steps
Choose authority/registry and legal basis
Obtain official specification/onboarding
Map reportable data and terminology
Implement sandbox reporting/acknowledgement
Add monitoring, correction and audit
