May 2019 Connectathon Prep

The following represents currently defined deliverables and milestones to get us prepared for the May 2019 HL7 FHIR Connectathon and Working Group Meeting in Montreal.

Deliverables

• Laboratory Order Catalog FHIR Implementation Guide that should include:
  • An introduction outlining Catalog resources and profiles relevant to this IG
  • Documentation of use cases this IG aims to address
  • Completed resource definitions and associated profiles
    • Composition
    • Profile on Composition
    • Catalog Entry
    • ObservationDefinition
    • Profiles on ActivityDefinition
    • SpecimenDefinition
  • Proposed FHIR API (e.g., read, search, and relevant operations) for interacting with this catalog
  • Integration with CIMI work on laboratory results if relevant (ideally we present both IGs together)

Milestones

• Finalization of Catalog resources (CatalogEntry, ObservationDefinition, SpecimenDefinition, Composition)
• Finalization of all associated resource profiles
• Specification of search parameters and operations to support a laboratory catalog
• Proposed conformance profiles for a laboratory catalog (consider using CapabilityStatement or other relevant resources in FHIR for a computable form)
• Review of resources and profiles with FMG and other relevant working groups at HL7
• Final enhancements of resources, profiles, and API based on community review
• Write up of IG introduction and supporting material
• Implementation of IG (a non-trivial task)
• Publication of IG on site to allow for community review
• Recruitment of interested parties for FHIR connectathon (IG should used to introduce project to interested parties)
• Final enhancement of IG and preparation for submission to HL7
• NIB for May, 2019 (suggest we ballot 'informative')
• Ballot pool signup
• Ballot reconciliation and preparation for next phase
