SPA System requirements

This page summarizes the most important notions and requirements that must be met for the SPA (Standardized Patient Administration) module to work properly.

Most requirements stem from the introduction of the SPA mobile application ('SP Administration') into the LearningSpace ecosystem. Since this application is not on an on-premise device but on the end-users’ smartphones, communication between the mobile app and the LearningSpace instance needs to be handled via the public Internet.

Network access, cloud data residency, and security

  • The LearningSpace main server must access the SPA API (https://spa.learningspace.elevatehealth.net) in the cloud via the 443 port over HTTPS to handle mobile notifications.

  • The SPA mobile application must access the LearningSpace main server directly over HTTPS via port 443.

    This means that the mobile device has to access the LearningSpace main server, which has to be accessible in one of the following ways:

    • publicly over the internet,

    • locally (on-site), over the institutional network,

    • remotely via a VPN connection.

  • The SPA mobile application must access the SPA cloud API (https://spa.learningspace.elevatehealth.net).

  • The LearningSpace main server needs an SSL certificate to be installed (using a FQDN).

Data privacy

  • The SPA cloud infrastructure will be hosted in the US East, with no other location or region. This means that the following data will travel and will be stored in the SPA cloud database:

    • From LearningSpace to the SPA cloud API in the US East:

      • Content of the mobile notification (dates/times, event titles, case details)

      • the SP’s LearningSpace user UID

    • Between the mobile device and the SPA cloud API in the US East:

      • institution details (name, address, email, phone, contact name)

      • notification content (as above)

      • mobile device identifiers (device GUID, PNS handle)

SPA Mobile Application  ('SP Administration')

  • The mobile application only runs on iOS and Android.

  • The mobile device needs to have notifications enabled system-wide and application-wise for the application to work with the best user experience.

  • End-users (SPs) will need a QR code to register via the mobile application for the SPA module.
    The QR code will be generated by and provided to the customer.

Languages

The current version of the SPA module is only available in English.
