SAIF IG proposal

This page is intended for the development of a set of proposals to create the necessary methodology and documents for implementing SAIF. We see at least three projects:

Scoping the SAIF Implementation Guide

• Deliverables: Chapter/Section Outline with descriptions of each chapter and section
• Timeframe: 2 weeks for initial outline, 4 weeks review, 2 weeks final edits
• Budget:
  • See below (part of SAIF IG)
  • Estimated Effort: 120 hours
  • Resources
    • Senior Technical Analyst (75%)
    • Senior Architect (25%)
• Information Sources:
  • Iterations of SAIF CD (some of the content was removed, to be later included in the IG)
  • NCI IG
  • Artifact Definition Project
• Issues
  • Concern that digging into GF (governance framework) 'can-of-worms'
    • SAIF CD document talks about relationship between ECCF, IF, BF, and GF.
    • To facilitate development of the IG, separate the project for the development of the ECCF, IF, BF implementation guide from the project for the development of the implementation guide for the GF

Develop the SAIF Implementation Guide

• Deliverables: The IG document

• Timeframe: 12 months
  • Initial Document: 4 months
  • Initial Document Review: 4 months (faster if OOC)
    • Peer Review
    • Potential Out-of-cycle
  • Finalize Document: 2 months
  • Ballot Document??
• Budget:
  • Estimated Effort: 1500 hours (incl. 120 from phase I, IG outline)
  • Resources
    • Senior Technical Analyst (50%)
    • Senior Architect (50%)
  • Out-of-Cycle (30K, 3K per person, 3 days)
    • Lloyd
    • Grahame
    • Woody
    • Lorraine
    • Patrick
    • John K.
    • Steve H.
    • John Q.
    • Austin K.
    • Someone from services?

• Information Sources:
  • Iterations of SAIF CD (some of the content was removed, to be later included in the IG)
  • NCI IG
  • Artifact Definition Project
  • OO WG progress to date on composite order and lab order
  • EHR WG progress on their SAIF project
• Issues
  • How much can we really leverage from SAIF CD process?
  • How much can we leverage from the HDF?
  • Can this, does this, include all three HL7 paradigms (Messages, Documents, Services)?

Technical Artifacts

• Deliverables: MIF, Generator, Schemas,
• Resources:
• Timeframe:
• Budget:

Not in Scope

• touch point for FHIR is the Governance Framework, hence a separate project to address those issues
• Pattern Definitions themselves (that patterns are a necessary tool for SAIF, should be in the IG)
