openEHR 2014 Roadmap - Product and Market

Conformance

Requirement

Provide means for procurement and government to specify requirements.

Proposed approach: IHE

  • publish 'profiles'
  • vendors come to connectathon and demonstrate interop for profile A, B, C etc

Profiles - areas of conformance

What openEHR 'profiles' are required? Initial notes...

ConformanceLevelHow tested
Versioning, audit and Contribution1
Full RM support1

Test for canonical XML, JSON for:

  • test COMPOSITION
  • test....
ADL/AOM 1.4 support1
Templating support1
Archetype-based data validation1

Basic Service Interfaces / APIs

  • Contribution commit

virtual EHR API2
Demographic API2
Knowledge API2

ADL/AOM 2 support3

Conformance of content model tooling

Model featureLevelTest criteria
Basic archetypeADL 1.4, 2, ...tool can read & write non-specialised test archetypes
SpecialisationADL 1.4, 2, ...tool can read & write specialised test archetypes with various features
SlotsADL 1.4, 2, ...tool can read archetypes containing slots
TemplatesADL 1.4, 2, ...tool can read archetypes containing slot fillers, mandation, removal, etc
TerminologyADL 1.4, 2, ...tool can support models containing terminology ref-sets

Conformance for Clinical Decision Support components / solutions

Key areas:

  • tools
  • authoring
  • execution

Conformance by Solution 'stack' level

Sigurd From (DIPS), mentioned technology levels from original specification diagrams in architecture overview.

Silje Ljosland (Bergen) mentioned:

  • flexible / customisable UI
  • mobile device support

Other Conformance areas

Other areas that could be specified and tested:

  • Scalability: volumetrics, transaction processing rates
  • integration - demonstrate systems can talk to each other using:
    • APIs
    • EHR Extract
    • 'openFIRE'

Conformance Testing - Connectathons

Rules for connectathons
