PROJECTS

The CIMI-sponsored HL7’s Integration of Information Models and Tools (IIM&T) project facilitates alignment/harmonization/integration among a federated set of CIMI-compliant models: SOLOR, FHIM, DCMs and CEMs, CQI CQF, US CORE, QI Core, etc.; where, this federated modelling is dependent on common CIMI principles and constructs (e.g., Reference Archetypes and semantic anchor Patterns) shared among those models. CIMI encourages 4-6 month pilot-project sprints; where, results are presented at HL7 workgroup meetings; so that; the CIMI workgroup can update its Architecture (Principles, Reference Archetypes, Semantic-Anchor Patterns, Processes, DCMs), documentation and related exemplars, tutorials and videos.

• IIM&T Lead SMEs: Keith Campbell, Stan Huff, Julia Skapik, Steve Wagner
• IIM&T Proponents: ONC OST, FHA, DoD/VA IPO, FDA, CDC
• The set of CIMI-compliant models are collectively called the Clinical Logical Information Model (CLIM).
  • CLIM is not a new model; but, the set of CIMI archetypes and CIMI-compliant models (e.g., SOLOR, FHIM, CQF, DCMs, FHIR profiles and extensions)
  • CLIM can be maintained within an HL7 Service Aware Interoperability Framework (SAIF) Enterprise Compliance and Conformance Framework [ECCF] matrix of
    • business/behavioral, information and system/technical columns/dimensions each with conceptual, logical and implementation rows/viewpoints

GOVERNANCE

To encourage Information Model consistency, traceability and reuse:

• CIMI collaborates with other workgroups and organizations, which are governed apart from HL7-CIMI.
• These projects are voluntarily being aligned and made CIMI-compliant (e.g., PC, CQI, CDS, EHR, HSPC, etc.).
• Externally-developed CIMI-compliant information-models can be donated to HL7 for
  • HL7 configuration management, peer review and standardization.
• Projects, Plans and Schedules are included in the CIMI Practitioners' Guide

COMMUNICATIONS

To inculcate the reuse of CIMI's principles, methodology, architecture, and artifacts (e.g., CLIM, FHIR and CDA profiles and extensions):

• collaboration with other projects and organizations. (see "References" below)
• informative and useful CIMI web-site and wiki (see "References" below)
• Free for use CIMI artefacts and open-source tools (see "References" below)
• "The CIMI Practitioners' Guide" is intended for non-modelers.
• "The CIMI Architecture, Methodology and Style Guide" is in each ballot package and is intended for modelers.
• CIMI Newsletters is published before and updated during each workgroup meeting.
