Demonstrate technical conformance for the National Imaging Registry XCA API (Provider)

Supporting guidance:

Measure response time for patient's query - Add any datasets

Acceptance criteria:

• Given that I entered a valid patient ID with available records
• When I initiate a patient data query
• Then the system should return the query results within the defined SLA threshold
• And the response time should be logged for audit and analysis purpose

Test Data:

• A known patient with a valid, complete NHS number.
• Patient has multiple records (demographics, imaging history, and reports)
• Network connections are stable and operational.

Preconditions:

• Test environment is fully connected to all relevant networks
• Performance logging tools or timers are available to capture response times
• SLA threshold for query response is defined.

Expected result:

• The system successfully retrieves the patient’s records within the SLA threshold, and the actual response time is accurately recorded in the performance logs for reporting and compliance verification.

Supporting guidance:

Measure response time for Report Retrieval - One KOS document + one PDF report

Acceptance criteria:

• Given that I opened a known patient’s chart and selects a final imaging report
• When I requests to open the report
• Then the full report content is displayed within the SLA
• And the report patient header matches the currently selected patient (no mismatch)
• And the entire report renders (structured sections) with no truncation or placeholder text
• And the retrieval event is audit-logged (user, patient, report ID, source network, start/end time, duration, outcome)

Test Data:

• A known patient with a valid, complete NHS number:
• Available reports data for testing purposes
• Network connections are stable and operational.

Preconditions:

• Clinician is authenticated and has permission to view patient documents
• Patient is positively identified (correct demographics visible in header).
• Report(s) exist and are final (not “preliminary” or “pending”).
• Viewing application is available and can render structured text.
• SLA for report retrieval is defined clinically (e.g., ≤ 4 seconds from open request to full report display).
• Network connections to A and B are operational

Expected result:

• The selected report opens completely and correctly within the defined SLA.
• The patient identity is clearly consistent, any critical flag is visible, and an audit entry captures retrieval metadata and total duration

Supporting guidance:

Measure response time for Image Retrieval - Large document + small file size

Acceptance criteria:

• Given I am an authorised user and the viewer is available
• And monitoring is enabled for NIR image retrieval
• When I try to retrieve an imaging data with typical series count and size
• Then both metrics are logged with timestamp, exam identifier (pseudonymised), network/source, and correlation ID

Test Data:

• A known patient with a valid, complete NHS number:
• Available imaging data for testing purposes

Preconditions:

• Network connections are stable and operational.
• Authorised clinical user logged in from their local system.
• Imaging viewer available and integrated with NIR
• Performance monitoring & logging enabled
• SLA for image retrieval is defined clinically (e.g. 4 seconds from open request to full image display).

Expected results:

• Images appear quickly enough to support urgent and routine care without delaying decisions.
• Clear indication of partial data when a network is slow/offline, without blocking available content.
• Performance evidence available for NIR service reporting and continuous improvement.
