Specification Definition
Defines an information exchange service which allows an initiating Nationwide Health Information Network Node to retrieve one or more documents for a specific patient from a responding Nationwide Health Information Network Node. The service requires the initiating node’s use of the responding node Document IDs to specify the documents requested. Those Document IDs are presumably (but not necessarily), obtained by a prior Query for Documents.

===Transaction Standard===

Nationwide Health Information Network Retrieve Documents utilizes the IHE Cross Community Access (XCA) ITI-39: Cross Gateway Retrieve transaction, which is part of HITSP TP13. The XCA Profile is an addendum to the complete IHE IT Technical Infrastructure Technical Framework (ITI-TF). The location of these documents, as well as other foundational standards for this transaction, is listed in Section 1.4 “Referenced Documents and Standards”.
