Summary

• Wednesday (Logica)
  The meeting will give an opportunity to work collaboratively on the reference architecture, reviewing the state of affairs, aligning it with the known use cases and ensuring appropriate synergy with the partner modeling and standardization endeavors.
  The morning will focus on the architecture specification roadmap, discussing its next iteration, to be presented to the broader audience during the general meeting in September.  
  The afternoon will focus specifically on "logical models" designed for SME-oriented applications, discussing the integration of CIMI-driven FHIR profiles in the Logica service stack and applications, along with complementary technologies required to enable them.
  
  Goals: 
  • Review the roadmap for the Logica architecture specification 
  • Have the major use cases inform the priorities for the development of the architecture
     
• Thursday (Logica)
  The day will host two parallel sessions, with the overall goal to inform the next 3-6 months of specification, architecting, implementation and integration of the services required by applications consuming semantically enriched data.
  The first breakout group will continue working on the specification/architecting session of the Wednesday afternoon; the second will explore the challenges of implementing logical models and profiles within services and applications
  
  Goals:
  • Provide an initial specification for a set of profile-oriented services, exposing functionalities required by the Logica use cases
  • Discuss best practices for the use of structural and semantic specifications within services and applications
  • Define a roadmap for the integration of FHIR/CIMI models within Logica applications
     
• Wed/Thu - Parallel Tracks
  Strategically related topics such as Logica vision, conformance/compliance, testing, local “sandbox” deployments and community engagement will also be in scope, as participants see fit to discuss.

Session Details

• Logica - All : Common Session 
  The goal of the session is to set the basis for the alignment of the top-down, use case and community driven approach and the technical and modeling endeavors, in particular with respect to the FHIR and CIMI roadmaps discussed in the previous two days.

  • State of affairs and goals discussion 
    • FHIR / CIMI discussion report
      Summary of the previous two days : FHIR and CIMI roadmaps, strategies for integration, relationship to Logica.
    • Main Use cases review
      Report on the articulation of the functional needs and the strategic value of the peri-op, neonatal and care coordination endeavors. Summary of other relevant use cases and applications.
      
      

• Logica - KA : Reference Knowledge Architecture Draft review 
  • Review current Logica architectural specification. 
    Presenter: Rick Freeman
  • Review work in progress on the long term, envisioned Logica architecture specification
    Presenter: Davide Sottara
    • Architecture roadmap
      Secure EHR integration. Resource vs Event vs Service Orientation.
    • Services roadmap
      Key functionalities to be provided, SOA governance, Development activities.
    • Standards roadmap
      Adopted standards, Gaps, Opportunities, Options/Needs for SDO engagement    
    • Content roadmap
      Authoring and Tooling, Distribution of existing content, Adoption  
  • Alignment with use cases
    • Prioritization
      Ensure the architecture enables the use-case driven needs
      
      
      

• Logica - Tech : Technical / Architectural Session
  While the Logica specification roadmap has a broad scope, the main session of the meeting will focus on the role of semantically rich logical data models in a standard-driven data abstraction layer.
  To be clinically meaningful, data should reflect, in shape and content, the semantics carried by the logical models. Functionalities should be provided to instantiate, transform, classify and validate resources.

• • Analyze Requirements, Capabilities and Opportunities for the use of logical models and conformance mechanisms
    Presenter / Moderators : Davide Sottara, Claude Nanjo 
    • Requirements

      • Terminology support

      • Semantic Data Aggregation, Normalization and Enrichment

      • Data and Model reconciliation

      • Secure and policy-compliant Data access

    • Capabilities
      • Basic : data collection (resource creation), resource indexing, resource validation (client and server side), terminology integration
      • Advanced : data element filtering, cross-model translation, iso-semantic reshaping
  • Discuss the roadmap for the specification and integration of services to support logical models
    Moderators : Davide Sottara, Rick Freeman
    • Representation and Distribution formats for data and models
    • Standards for data and knowledge manipulation
    • APIs
    • Service Implementations
    • Authoring Tools 
     

• Logica - Dev : Development Session
  The functional and design requirements resulting from the architectural working session should be taken to the next level of detail, discussing implementation options.
  The goal of this session is to ensure that detailed, logical models can be effectively used in an Logica application, simplify its development and ultimately add value. 
  Emerging gaps and lessons learned should inform the architecture and its roadmap.  
  

  • Implementing logical model-driven applications

    • Retrieve and validate profile-compliant data
    • Use profile-compliant logical resources for business logic development
  • Installing Logica profiles in a FHIR server

  • Implementing conformance services
    
    

• Logica - Gov : Governance and Management Session
  Despite the focused nature of this meeting, a face to face session should help prepare material to relate and discuss during the next plenary meeting in September.
  Potential* topics to be discussed include:

• • Technical Committee(s) Organization  
    Moderator : Matt Burton ?
    Architecture committee vs Development committee : Follow up on the ongoing discussions re. the internal Logica structure  
  • Integration, Testing and Certification process
    Moderator : Mario Hyland?
    How to contribute and be endorsed  
  • Sandboxes and local installations
    Moderator : ?
    Opportunities for R&D, contributions, app development
  • Support strategies
    Moderator : Chris Sadvary 
    Lifecycle, PaaS opportunities, multi-tenancy, potential players, engagement models

* The breakouts in Logica-Gov will take place based on interest and availability of participants
