PUSH use-case might need some clarifications or updates to mCSD for use with HCID discovery PULL use-case might need some clarification or updates on PDQm/PIXm use to discover HCID that a patient is known within
Solution might be broken up into four small work tasks all contributing to overall success needed for this work item. The small work tasks would not stand alone, but rather are useful incremental (agile) improvements

MHD to a Federation – November 11, 2021
renamed the github repo - https://github.com/IHE/ITI.Topologies
Proposed Work Item: FHIR Federation
Proposal Editor: Joe Lamy Work item Editor: Joe Lamy Date: 19 January 2021 Version: 1.0 Domain: ITI
The Problem
The concept of federation is relatively underspecified in FHIR at this time. The notion of “home community” is used by numerous IHE profiles to enable complex, large-scale heterogeneous networks. See [IHE ITI TF-1] E.9 “XCA Integration with XDS and non-XDS communities” for a number of examples of federated deployments enabled by XCA. FHIR does not have an explicit analog for home community. We would like to add this to the IHE FHIR-based profiles. This would support all-FHIR cases requiring federation (for example, crossing security boundaries) as well as bridging FHIR with non-FHIR mechanisms such as XCA. Our initial use cases address mCSD and MHD, but other profiles could be considered, as well as Appendix Z for common capabilities, such as a consistent encoding of HCID as a business identifier.
