Hi Pablo,
No I don't agree. The point I tried to explain was that the system is the EHR 
repository, not an application. So if there is one or more applications using a 
repository at one or more organisations the is just one system id.

In an Australian jurisdiction I have a repository that is used by multiple 
instances of 5 applications at 100 diff healthcare facilities managed by gov't 
and non gov't organisations. There is only one system id for the repository.

Hi! Thanks for your answers.

It is a little tricky but from Thomas comments, I think that the "system" is 
not a technical term, but is more related to an organizational term. For 
example, if I use the same system / service to hold EHRs from 2 different 
hospitals, I really have 2 system ids instead of one. So the system_id doesn't 
depend on the technical architecture, but depends on how the business is 
organized. Is that correct?

Again, the description from the specs doesn't help to understand this 
("Identity of the system where the change was committed", so it depends on what 
a "system" is for us).

For the next version of the specs I think we can update that description and 
maybe give a couple of examples.

What do you think?

Heath,

this is correct, you were not wrong for 10 y ;-)

We don't record the name or type or id of the application, and I am not sure 
even now if that would be of any use. I can't see that it would be. The 
system_id is for exactly the purpose that Heath as explained here.

Hi Thomas & Pablo,

I am finding the words in the this discussion ambiguous, and the specification 
does help to clarify. Here is my interpretation of AUDIT_DETAILS.system_id.



I have an EHR service, which is used by two different application, one is a 
hospital system and another a mobile application that may not be related to the 
hospital system but share the same EHR service. When the hospital system and 
mobile application commits something they are using the same system_id, the 
system_id of the EHR service. If there is an exchange of data between this EHR 
service and another organisations EHR service via an EHR extract, the system ID 
will be used in the other organisations EHR service to identify that the commit 
was performed in the original organisations system_id.



Therefore, the system_id identifies the system that is assigning version 
identifiers in the EHR repository, i.e. the AUDIT_DETAILS.system_id matches the 
system_id component of the version.uid. This is important for distributed 
versioning.



So in Pablo?s scenario, it is one system of multiple components with multiple 
components sharing the same EHR service, the mobile and the EMR would use the 
same system_id.



Has my interpretation been wrong for 10 years? If so, then we need clarity 
added to the specification.
