4. Project Definition
4.a. Project Scope
This implementation guide will explore the Service-Aware Interoperability Framework
(SAIF) methodology to show how various HL7, IHE and OMG immunization-related
artifacts can be deployed to satisfy immunization interoperability use cases. The
project will provide feedback to the MnM SAIF Implementation Guide project
regarding artifacts and governance necessary to develop this projects deliverables.
It will build upon existing artifacts rather than create anything new. Previous
work includes: The Practical Guide to SOA in Healthcare Part II: the Immunization
Case Study; the Immunization DAM; V2 immunization messages; V3 POIZ messages; V3
Care Record document; V3 Care Record message; vMR; IXS (Service Functional Model
and Technical Specification); RLUS; DSS; hData; Arden Syntax; GELLO; IHE profiles
including PIX, PDQ, and Immunization Content; IHE SOA White Paper. The scope of
the immunization use case will be limited to use cases specifically related to
interoperability; primarily patient identification, immunization data exchange and
decision support (recommendations, adverse reactions, contraindications).
4.b. Project Need
Currently, several HL7 and other SDO standards apply to the immunization use case,
including messages (HL7 V2 and V3) documents (V3 CDA), and services (IXS, RLUS,
DSS, etc.). Some, such as HL7 V2 and V3 messaging, and CDA/CCD models including
the IHE Immunization Content profile, are fairly mature.
However, the issue of
achieving interoperability in an environment of diverse standards remains. A key
lesson of Meaningful Use Stage I in the U.S. has been that mismatched sender and
receiver capabilities in some localities have inhibited public health reporting
objectives. The practical use of SAIF is of interest in European interoperability
projects as well, for immunizations and beyond.
What is missing is something to
tie the various standards together in an interoperable fashion to satisfy the use
case.
4.c. Success Criteria
A successful project will help implementers select from the available artifacts and
deploy them across a set of interoperating systems to satisfy the immunization use
case. It will help policymakers provide clear guidance on how existing standards
may be used to implement their policy objectives. A successful effort will also
provide a template with overlap for similar exercises in other domains. The format
of this deliverable will be aligned with existing SAIF artifacts as appropriate and
will be conformant with the SAIF Implementation Guide. The output will also show a
clear path for meeting Meaningful Use and/or European interoperability project
requirements using the Guide.
