Discussion
Today’s meeting focused on Use Case Development. Some announcements were made at the beginning of the
meeting. These announcements included:
 Extending voting on the project charter to July 9, 2012;
 Canceling the July 5, 2012 Work Group Meeting; and
 Scheduling consensus vote review on July 12, 2012.
Instructions were also given that all participants should send a message to “all panelists” when using the WebEx
chat feature.
Use Case Introduction
The Use Case Team (Merideth Vida, Health Stevens, Virginia Riehl, and Emily Mitchell) led the discussion on Use
Cases beginning with Use Case Development. The goal in the Use Case step of the initiative is to leverage the work
done to date (including the work done on the Project Charter). The Use Case team introduced various diagrams
(Use Case Diagram, Context Diagram, Activity Graph Diagram, and Sequence Diagrams) to depict different aspects
of Use Case development. (see 6/28/12 meeting materials). The Use Case team also introduced the functional,
system, and data set requirements (see 6/28/12 meeting materials). The team also noted (in response to a question
from one of the participants) that Enterprise Architect was one of the main tools used in creating Use Cases.
A conversation was also started about the components to be used in the first Use Case. In the first Use Case, the
actors are the CDS Implementer and CDS Knowledge Artifact Supplier. (The second Use Case, the web services
Use Case, will contain the CDS consumer as an actor. The second Use Case will leverage the knowledge gained
from the first Use Case.) In scope items were determined as standards to structure medical knowledge in a
shareable executable format for use in CDS. Out of scope items were listed as:
 Authoring, creation, and maintenance of CDS;
 Search mechanisms;
 Means of sharing;
 User presentation; and
 Knowledge repository design.
Data Element Development Group
There was an announcement on the creation of a small data element group made up of community participants. The
Data Element Development (DED) group will support the notion of getting volunteers involved in data contribution. It
is anticipated that the DED will meet multiple times in order to draft a list of data elements to present to the Internal
Support Team. A sign-up sheet will be posted to the HeD Wiki whereby volunteers will submit their “statement of
commitment” and past data elements experience.
CDS Providers/Suppliers
The Use Case team also addressed that the community participants should post their idea on what CDS
providers/suppliers should be contacted to aid in the initiative. A link will be posted onto the HeD Wiki page whereby
participants can contribute this information.
Use Case Sub-Groups
Scope and Assumptions group was formed to address any additions, comments, or questions relating to the Use
Case team’s Scope and Assumptions PowerPoint slides. The group consists of: Victor Lee, Robin Williams, Ken
Pool, and John Faughnan. Their additions to the slides are due 7/9/12.
Sue Boisvert has signed up to contribute to the Communities of Interest section and would prefer to work with
additional volunteers. Volunteers for the Actors section of the slide show will be selected at a later date.
WebEx Chats Q & A
from Don Rule to All Panelists:
Independent of the repository design is the representation of the knowledge in scope - e.g. through Arden Syntax?
Answer: Yes
