Topic: Added a RESTful Data Source role

Hi @Isaac Vetter , @Daniel Zhang
We've been thinking about how to address the typical pharmacy's challenge of locating the right endpoint for patient info associated with a prescription they receive through an intermediary... while enabling EHRs to participate in a standard, RESTful way.
To accomplish that, we've added a RESTful Data Source role to the IG. An EHR server fulfilling this role could respond to searches submitted directly by the pharmacy in a direct-connect mode, but we expect it will more often interact with an intermediary that...
- receives a pharmacy's request message
- locates the right EHR endpoint
- performs a patient match based on info in the request
- performs the pharmacy's requested searches
- and then returns the results in a response message back to the pharmacy.
This is described here in the IG
Very interested in your thoughts!
