Introduction

This repository contains scripts for creating containers that implement the hub node of the INDICATE quality dashboard architecture. The purpose of this hub is to receive and store aggregated quality indicator data from data providers and answers queries for aggregated quality indicator results.

Aggregated quality indicator results are average quality indicator values that are computed by data providers over a population of patients and over an aggregation period such as one week or one month. Data providers compute these aggregated results locally and transmit only the aggregated values. The transmission includes a unique id of the sending data provider but no INDICATE stakeholder besides the data provider itself can map a given id to the identity of the provider.

Containers

This project creates the following container images

1. The database container contains a PostgreSQL database initialized with a single table which hold aggregated quality indicator results.

2. The data-exchange container contains a service which provides multiple REST endpoints. One endpoint allows data providers to upload aggregated quality indicator results to the hub node. A second endpoint allows querying aggregated quality indicator results.

Set up Database Access

Since database access is required only among the services of this repository, an arbitrary password can be used for the internal database in the "database" container. This password is contained in the (host) file database-password in the root directory of this repository. One way to assign a random password is

echo INDICATE | mkpasswd -m descrypt -s > database-password

Build the Images

Execute

docker-compose build

in the root directory of this repository.
