Tools to Automate the S&I Platform

Tools to Automate the S&I Platform A Proposal March 29, 2013 DRAFT

Growing Portfolio of Module Based Initiatives But this has led to growing complexity and diverse designs, models and solutions Doug Fridsma to HITPC – 3/14/13 DRAFT

S&I Core Matrix Has Captured and Standardized S&I Initiatives . . . . . . as Shared, Reusable and Computable Components . . . Now we need a tool to use the Core Matrix DRAFT

Tools to Automate the S&I Platform • S&I • Core Matrix • UCAT • IGAT Business Requirements and SMEs • USHIK • Registry • Repository • Link to NLM • NIST • Test Methods Standards Developers and Stewards Implementable Solutions CEDD/FHIM/CIMI Data Models and Mapping DRAFT

DRAFT

NIST Role (Kevin – Frederic to add bullets) • Experience with Use Case Authoring through Smart Grid • Developed automated test procedures, methods and tools for CEHRT and Mod Specs • UCAT is based on NIST platform with further specialization for the S&I Core Matrix by Art Greisser DRAFT

Why UCAT First? • Foundational to all downstream automation and tools • Highest leverage is at the beginning analysis and design of an initiative • COnstructiveCOst Model – Overall effort is doubled if analysis is shortchanged • Correct is hard... but easier than later fix • Ounce of prevention • Measure twice, cut once • “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail” Ben Franklin • Use Cases • Study how users get value from system • Define how users interact with system • Help subsequent efforts deliver value • Are contracts between users & developers • Refer to Art Griesser Presentation in Appendix DRAFT

Use Case Authoring Tool DRAFT

UCAT Demonstration • NEED OUTLINE FROM ART • Show how to create a human readable, machine computable UC example from Core Matrix and UCAT DRAFT

S&I Simplification – Demonstration of ConceptUse Case Tool Status Current Capabilities • Imported Core Matrix • Captured use case template structure • Populated completely for LRI • Can construct new use cases from reusable components • Can create human readable use cases (in UC template) • Can curate underlying UC information • Can use underlying info programmatically • SQL query • Import: CSV • UCAT Native • Simplification Core Matrix • ISO/HL7 10781/16527 EHR/PHR System Functional Models • Export: JSON, CSV • Ability to clone Additional Capabilities • Ability to track status of information • Component Lifecycle Management Next Steps • Add remaining 14 S&I Use Cases to UCAT • One-time manual entry • Resolving differences from template • Refine Core Matrix master template • USHIK Integration • S&I Data Integration • CEDD, FHIM, or CIMI . . . • Evaluate and design handoff to downstream tools • Implementation Guide Authoring • Testing Tools, MDHT, V2 … DRAFT

Simplification – Automating the S&I PlatformBenefits S&I Platform • Capture Once, Re-Use Many Times • Each Re-Use Instance = x 1 Savings • Facilitate Cross S&I Initiative Coordination • Facilitate Cross Agency/Domain Coordination • Unlocking Value of S&I (maximizes re-use, return) • Experience Shows: • AHIC/HITSP: 4 Years, 17 Use Cases/Initiatives (4+/yr) • S&I: 2 Years, 13 Use Cases/Initiatives (6+/yr) • With UCAT: ? • With IGAT, With Test Methods? Automated Tools Faster, real world adoption DRAFT
