Reasons for RIMBAA

From HL7Wiki

What are the (business) reasons as to why one should embrace RIMBAA?

1. RIMBAA results in software being less sensitive to changes in terms of scope: if one adds new functionality, or new domains - the RIM is a uniform model accross all healthcare domains.
2. RIMBAA enables enhanced, granular decision support (and: Business Intelligence).
3. RIMBAA decreases the cost of implementing decision support (and: Business Intelligence).
4. RIMBAA preserves the full semantics (no translations) if one uses MDD based on constrained RIM-based models (e.g. CDA, or an R-MIM)
5. RIMBAA results in software being less sensitive to technology changes. Given the model, it would be easier to port an application to a new language or platform.
