Healthcare DTF Notes
Burlingame
03 February 2005

  1. Welcome & Opening Remarks
    1. David Harrington talked about the proliferation of “interoperability organizations” – the EHR Vendors Association (www.ehrva.org), Interoperability Consortium (response to ONCHIT and NHII), Massachusetts E-Health Collaborative (www.maehc.org), etc.) and the need to play together
    2. Richard Soley – used international plug analogy for standards; need for adapters; modeling is the way to adapt
  2. How will OMG interact with the HL7 process?
    1. Ken Rubin – HL7 Services Project report, including Project Objectives

                                                              i.      We need to embrace and understand both the XML and the model in order to approach semantic interoperability

                                                             ii.      Review of the Concept Paper

                                                           iii.      There is a perception in Europe that HL7 is NOT a leader in domain and semantic specifications

                                                          iv.      Discussion about whether OMG has a single definition of a “platform”

                                                            v.      Alan suggests that the term “computationally independent” replace “platform”

    1. How do we engage other standards bodies, like NCPDP – which has standards embedded in legislation?
    2. Discussion of exactly how the OMG-HL7 collaboration relationship will work in reality – how will vendors and users implement and use specifications produced by the process?

                                                              i.      Should include other standards like X.12

                                                             ii.      It is important to Kaiser that the major healthcare software vendors be involved – ideally as submitters – but at least as implementers. Write into RFPs?

                                                           iii.      The history of the RFP process in OMG is that if a vendor is not involved in the drafting in the document, the process will fail

                                                          iv.      Suggestion to produce a plan with dates and milestones that specifies critical success factors for producing the first #N specifications, along with consequences of not meeting the dates

    1. Need to produce a formal articulation of a division of responsibilities between OMG HDTF and the HL7 Services Project and to publish it
    2. Define the artifacts and dependencies using an example. Make up the rules as we go along.
    3. Need to adopt the Project Charter as developed in the HL7 Services Project and send out a press release. This was done – DGH.
  1. Project Planning
    1. Need to look at specializing the OMG RFP template for this activity.
    2. Need a formal or explicit definition of the specification process
    3. What defines a “good” service candidate?
    4. Need to identify how the OMG HDTF schedule maps to the HL7 Services – what do we want to produce in CY 2005 – RFPs, LOIs?
    5. Since the HL7 Services are dependent on the HL7 RIM, which is not set, can we structure RFPs to “grab” whatever current HL7 models exist?
    6. HL7 service specifications can be sub-divided into multiple OMG Services RFPs.
    7. Need to secure approval of Project Charter by HL7 & OMG Board
    8. Schedule out-of-cycle meetings of HL7 Service Project and OMG HDTF
