Authentication and authorization

This API uses HelseID for authentication and authorization. To use the API you will need to have a valid HelseID token with a valid scope.

There are three scopes available to consume document resources from the Patient Health Records API:

• ReadDocumentReferences (Helsepersonelloven p. 45) | Scope: nhn:phr/mhd/read-documentreferences

  This scope provides read access to document references according to ITI-67 transaction in IHE.MHD profile

• ReadDocumentReferences (Kjernejournalforskriften) | Scope: nhn:phr/mhd/read-documentreferences/kjernejournalforskriften

  This scope provides read access to document references according to ITI-67 transaction in IHE.MHD profile. Requires header parameter for access basis.

• ReadDocument | Scope: nhn:phr/mhd/read-document

  This scope provides read access to document according to ITI-68 transaction in IHE.MHD profile

Integrating using the SOAP API

Integrations using the SOAP-API directly are not supported by Norsk helsenett. Integrations not using the REST-API needs to go through Kjernejournal Portal. Document consumers need to be logged on using HelseID to gain access to the "Journaldokumenter" tab in Kjernejournal.
