  1. (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise)IHE in Europe Connectathon Organization Eric Poiseau Version 1.0 IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  2. Who are you ? • 77 companies • 120 systems • 4 domains (RAD, IT-I, CARD, LAB) • RAD : 90 systems • IT-I: 78 systems (XDS 22) • CARD : 28 systems • LAB: 21 systems IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  3. + 50 % Progression IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  4. We need to get prepared • Pre-connectathon period • 10 weeks • Connectathon • 5 days (9 am to 6 pm)… but in the fact only 4 days for testing • Need for optimization • A lot to do before • To perform more testing during CAT IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  5. No time for Baby sitting A few numbers… • 10 weeks gives 400 hours of work • ~ 2700 logs are required • 5 min per log file makes 225 hours • ~ 120 systems • 1 hour on phone/email makes 120 hours • That gives me 155 hours for the rest… • Lab tools, connectathon preparation, webtool maintenance, test data,…. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  6. Pre-Connectathon • Check your registration • I do not want you to tell me during the connectathon : « I have forgotten to sign up for PIR, I though…. » • Configuration information gathering (you to me) • Dicom Conformance Statements • Port numbers, URI, AE Titles…. • Configuration of your system (me to you) • Before Monday morning….so before shipping • You need to configure your system • With your peer information • With the connectathon network information • With the testing dataset • Mesa Test • Object Rendering Tests New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  7. Registration Checking • Combined actors/profile • PPSM for OF and IM/IA • PIR requires SWF • SWF and ARI • … • Supportive or Thorough ? • We do not know yet how supportive will be reported in result matrix and if it will New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  8. Supportive versus Thorough • Thorough • This is what we have done so far • Supportive • You’re confident about this Actor/IP but you want to bring it at the connectathon • You have already tested it at a previous CAT • Need to provide URL to IS (published) • Result matrix will show thorough results New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  9. System Configuration / Information

  10. System Information • Dicom Conformance Statement • Upload form • Practical Information • Power information • Number of chairs • Storage • Special requirements -> contact me • Please provide this information before March 1st New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  11. Configuration Information • Have your configuration ready and confirmed before the deadline (April 15th) • I have assigned some default values • If you change it… your peer will have to change it also…. • How important is it ? • Most of the time spend in doing a connectathon test is spend checking/changing the configuration parameters. • More systems more choices of peers…. Try not to be the bad guy. • Q : How to provide my configuration information ? • Answer • Q : How to find my peer configurations parameters ? • Answer IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  12. Configuration Information • If you feel that there are missing parameters, • this is highly probable. Let me know ASAP • No confirmation will be understood as a confirmation! • This means that your peers will configure their systems with information that may be erroneous ! • Configure your systems before arriving to the connectathon IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  13. Mesa Testing General Information

  14. Why Do We Have Test Tools ? • Reduce the number of systems to 80 because the room we have reserved for the connectathon is too small ! • The project manager is evil and he likes to make you suffer with buggy mesa tools ! • Prepare your systems for the connectathon ! IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  15. Why Do We Have Test Tools ? • Test tools prepare you for the connectathon • Provides a minimum set of test to prepare your systems • Tools are a benefit of participation • As a participant you get them before the public release • Tools are released to the public later on IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  16. How Do Tests Help You ? • Tests encourage you and your peers to read details of the Technical Framework • You may find you do not agree with our interpretation of the TF • You may not agree with the TF • If you and your peers complete the tests, we can avoid a lot of wasted time at the Connectathon • Thus we can prepare more complex demonstrations and do more complex connectathon tests IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  17. Test Coverage • Test software do NOT cover all aspects of the Technical Framework • Test software do NOT guarantee compliance with DICOM or HL7. • All what it does, is provide a reasonable preparation for the Connectathon. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  18. Test Cases versus Demonstration • MESA tests cover more transactions than will be demonstrated • Participants are required to complete all test cases, even if they do not lead directly to demonstration • Thus : Your system may perform one transaction at a demonstration but perform several transactions with the MESA tests (and the Connectathon) IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  19. Mesa Testing How to

  20. Rad – Card – IT-I (except XDS) IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  21. Order Filler MESA ToolsSimulate your peers Mesa Simulator Win32 / Linux / Solaris System being tested Win32 / Linux / Solaris MESA ADT, OP, IM/IA TCP/IP Network • MESA OS is independant of system under test OS • Choosing NT, Linux or Solaris is a question of taste IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  22. Hardware/network requirement for testing • One computer system can : • Support all of the MESA actors • Can serve as the driver for any system under test. • Only one computer required to test an IHE actor. • It is impossible to test multiple systems simultaneously • (sockets are not multithreaded). • You need to test separate systems serially with little or no reconfiguration. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  23. Mesa test how to • Where do I get the tools from ? • http://ihe.univ-rennes1.fr/testing • If you’re logged in you’ll get the last release • If not you’ll get the public release • Who writes the tools ? • MIR, Offis, NIST, IDM • What if I find a bug in a tool ? • MIR, Offis : http://rome.wustl.edu/bugzilla • NIST, IDM : contact me ! IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  24. Installation • Make sure you follow the installation instructions provided by Steven Moore • Do not try to install from the sources • Sources are provided for information IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  25. Most common errors encountered • Environment variables not set • Mesa_storage files not installed • Wrong version of Win32 Perl • SQL server is not installed • Database tables are not installed • But also possible errors in the tools ! IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  26. Recommendations for MESA Software • We recommend that you install and test the software as soon as possible • The authors try to make the installation process simple, but there will be some difficulties • It is better to go through a round of installation now rather than waiting until the “final/next” release is available; IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  27. MESA Test Interactions • Most MESA tests are independent of other tests. You can run them in any order. • Most tests overwrite common data areas. They do not overwrite the output of the evaluation scripts. • This implies you should run a test and perform the evaluation before starting another test. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  28. MESA Test Overview • Each actor/integration profile has several tests, each test is assigned a number (101, 102, …) • 100 series tests are for the Scheduled Workflow / Patient Information Reconciliation • Other series of tests are for different features of the Technical Framework (for actors or classes of actors) • How to know what test your systems have to pass ? • Check the web tool on your system page IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  29. General Test Instructions • Start MESA servers on test machine • Run an interactive perl script that leads you through the test scenario • Run a second perl script that evaluates your messages • Check the logs for errors and try to understand the problems • Send output of evaluation script to Project Manager • Please comment your logs if this is needed IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  30. Test logs return (2) • Do not send logs if you know that they will be rejected. • Check Bugzilla pages for information • Ask for some help • When “error” please explain the errors • Upload form for log return • Please mention if you are resubmitting “old” logs New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  31. XDS IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  32. New NIST Toolkit • Remote Registry and Repository hosted by NIST • Sources can submit documents to the NIST server • Consumer can query and retrieve documents from the NIST server • Java tool to submit and query a registry • Log browser for PM to check/help testers IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  33. Laboratory Tools New • Not script for the moment • Message validation software • http://ihe.univ-rennes1.fr/HL7 IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  34. Connectathon Logistics IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  35. Connectathon Codes • Tables and codes used for the connectathon will be provided : • HL7 user tables • MD’s • Beds, Facilities, Assigning authorities • Procedures codes (lab, radio, and cardio) • XDS Affinity domain information • OIDs • Set of patients ID and identities for non ADT clients • If you think there are some missing tables and/or information, please let me know IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  36. ADT • Each ADT actor will be assigned a range of pid to avoid confusion. • Patient Identifiers are 6 digit identifiers that begin with a two-digit code that identifies the system producing the ID. • Thus, if your prefix is 10, your Patient Identifiers will be in the range of 100000 to 109999. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  37. Digital Certificates • I’ll provide you with private key and certificate • One certificate assigned for each secure system • Certificates to be used only for connectathon and demonstrations • Certificates are not meant to be used in a production environment • We provide no guidance on how to manage those in a clinical environment IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  38. Webtool for test management • Provides list of possible peers • Provides chat/log • Provides verification logging • Provides information about « persistent objects » New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  39. Network Information • We will provide • IP Addresses and Host file • Local DNS (preferred to host file) • Netmask • Gateways • Time Server • Kerberized Server • Mail Server • LDAP • XDS Repository and Registry New New New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  40. Network Information • Intranet will be at least 100 Mb/s • Internet will be at least 10 Mb/s • Internet is used for convenience for email and communication of files with home based team. • Internet access is not guaranteed • You will get on drop per system • It is your responsibility to bring a hub IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  41. Power Supply • 240 Volts • A power strips with 3-5 slots per table • UK plugs do not fit to NL outlet !! • Are we not talking about interoperability ! • If you need more than 240 V, please let me know ASAP ! IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  42. Tables and chairs • 120 tables • One per system • Please use the table that will be assigned to your system • If your company brings 2 systems, they might not be close to each other !!! IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  43. Connectathon Test IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  44. Preliminary Connectathon Schedule • Monday : • am : installation of your systems • Systems delivery • Check network access, correctness of configuration • pm : start of testing (p2p) …. • Wednesday : • start of scenario testing • Friday : • am : very last tests • pm : packing • Package pick-up IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  45. Peer To Peer Tests (P2P) • You have to test with some peers • You need to get at least 3 instances of a test verified per test • Peer are prioritized • You can do more testing. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  46. Peer To Peer Tests (P2P) • Enhancement : • Use of a chat room for peers to communicate and keep track of the transactions. • Use of log storage mechanism : (cut and paste the logs in text file) • Other suggestions/ideas New IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  47. Scénarii Tests • Compared to last year • Increased complexity • Could combine RSWF, LSWF, PIX, RID, EUA, XDS… • Increased number of peers • Will have a schedule, so will need you to be ready at the time of the test. • Will have a list of difficulties to check. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  48. Hints • Switching peer should be an easy and rapid task. • Try to avoid need of rebooting • Try to avoid typing the peer configuration each time you need to switch. • Have the procedure codes entered in your systems. IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  49. How can I fail • I have not a single test verified by Wednesday evening !!! • I am spying my colleagues !!! • I am not fair to the PM !!! IHE-EU Conference Workshop

  50. Special Cases • You all are in a special case !!!! • I have finished all my testing on Monday, shall I leave ???? • Print Server case • I have 5 zillion tests to perform during the week, …can we stay for another 2 weeks… • Register more systems • Register fewer profiles/actors IHE-EU Conference Workshop
