Factual description of the components, artifacts, process.  How is the ecosystem characterized?

Christine Watts

Chief Enterprise Architect

How do others say if something is conformant? What is the process?  Presentations from vendors on best practices.

FHIR Capability Statement  

Grahame Grieve

FHIR’s perspective

• Incomplete so a framework
• Conformance framework – terminology, content, behavior, test script and test report
• Public/validation (see validation.html)
• File:///C:/work/org.hl7.fhir/build/publish/validation.html
• What validation is not (this is instance validation not system validation)

• File:///C:/work/org.hl7.fhir/build/publish/testscript.html
  • the test scripts are run by servers like Touchstone (AEGIS)…Crucible (Mitre)…
• Human certification – 2 levels
  • Proficiency Certificate (you know what the specification is and your way around it – very high level).  May be avail sept ’17
  • High level certification – to demonstrate you really know FHIR and can provide implementation advice.  Open book test – expected to consult the specification during the test.  In order to pass – ongoing, will allow letters after your name, will be certified with an external certifying body.  Hopefully avail in Jan ‘18
• Why we don’t do conformance testing
  • Don’t do it because if politics, and because they don’t have agreement on what passes. 
  • Really hard to do but not convinced due to the cost of doing it and the value of it. 
  • Define an implementation guide using their tooling, use the validator they provide, provide test scripts consistent with the services. 
  • Did not think they would get enough agreement in the specification to do conformance testing. Will need to decide in the next 6 months or so if they will provide it.  For what price – for what value, or if they ask IHE to do it. 

Capability Statement

-        Can be used in an application – specify in an application the resources and profiles they are claiming conformance to. 

15:15-15:45

Argonauts

Grahame Grieve

Argonaut

• More complete
• Why there is no formal testing program
  • The cost would be too much.
• My feelings about that
  • Disappointed and feel they would benefit from testing.  Wish they were doing it will
  • Once they start using the Argonaut artifacts then testing will come up.

Mentioned: But out of time to fully address....

Australian National Program perspective

• My role
• The program
• Validation tooling
• Validation on all transactions
• Certification program (committee)
• How cost worked
• Problems
