Introduction

Iguana simplifies a developer’s life when dealing with XDS.b and it’s inherent complexities. No doubt that working with XDS.b can seem a daunting task at first. However, with these helpful modules any Iguana developer will feel comfortable in dealing with the challenges that XDS.b may present.

To help you get started, we’ve put the necessary material to get fully functioning XDS.b transactions that represent the core set when exchanging electronic medical records with HIE systems. Besides implementation how-to’s with sample XDS.b transactions for both document source and consumer scenarios, we’ve also provided the necessary testing links to NIST’s online servers to validate the XDS.b transactions.

In the next two pages we cover the core foundation XDS.b transactions that involve the exchange of medical documents between two systems from the actor perspective.
