===Dealing with being an early adopter===
 
If the scope of your implementation is broad you should anticipate being an early adopter of the Standard and breaking new ground. It's worth it, but you must factor into your plans a steep learning curve; ongoing participation in the HL7 organization to move your designs through membership approval; and retrofitting of early installations to the approved specifications.

Recommendations

  • Overcome the steep learning curve
  • Need for a "keeper of the vision"
    • Designate one person to keep the architecture and the business requirements (as a whole) on a consistent track. Otherwise scope creep will ensure they are disjunctive.
  • Exchange experiences with other v3 implementers
    • The exchange of experience in a forum with other implementers/vendors saves money. The RIMBAA Working group is an international forum for v3 implementers.
  • Dealing with being an early adopter
    • If the scope of your implementation is broad you should anticipate being an early adopter of some parts of the Standard. It's worth it, but you must factor into your plans a steep learning curve; ongoing participation in the HL7 organization to move your designs through membership approval; and retrofitting of early installations to the approved specifications.
