CIMI Strategic Plan and Roadmap

Mission

The CIMI Mission is computable interoperability among healthcare related systems through the shared use of Clinical Logical Information Model (CLIM) resulting in consistent Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) implementation profiles and extensions.

Strategic Objectives

CIMI objectives are to empowers Clinicians, Analysts, Users, Developers, Venders, Implementers and Testers with healthcare:

• data, applications, reports, alerts, protocols, and decision support modules shareable with anyone in the world
• Clinical Knowledge Management (CHM) library of Clinical Logical Information Models (CLIM) supporting consistent HL7 FHIR and V3 CDA/C-CDA extensions and profiles.
  • Free to use
• “plug-n-play” components with computable-interoperability for
  • electronic health records
    • information exchange sharing
    • population based medicine
    • clinical decision support
  • business intelligence and research
• seamless integration of information models and tools
  • clear, complete, concise, correct, consistent, computable and traceable interoperability specifications
• seamless software development lifecycle processes
  • efficient, effective, low-cost and easy-to-use.
• SNOMED extension for LOINC and RxNorm (SOLOR)
• Collaborate with other interested organizations
  • HSPC
  • OMG
  • OpenGroup

Strategic Roadmap: Deliverable

• HL7 and ISO standard Clinical Logical Information Model (CLIM)
  • 30+ healthcare domain models
  • thousands of context specific Detailed Clinical Models (DCMs) and Knowledge Artifacts (KNARTS)
• Style Guide with one single formalism supporting multiple modelling styles
  • Core Reference Model, Reference Archetypes and Patterns aka Semantic Anchors for
    • DCMs and KNARTs
  • A common set of base data types
  • Formal bindings of the models to standard coded terminologies
• Clinical Knowledge Management (CKM) repository for
  • crowd sourcing
  • peer review
  • reusable models
  • consistent HL7 FHIR and V3 C-CDA profiles and extensions
  • Free use
• Practitioners' Guide
  • for educated, but, uninformed users
    • CIMI principles
    • Glossary / Data Dictionary / Acronyms
    • training materials, such as web-based video mini-guides and tutorials

Strategic Roadmap: Components

• EHR data storage
• Message and service payloads
• Decision logic (queries of EHR data)
• Clinical trials data (clinical research)
• Quality measures
• Normalization of data for secondary use
• Creation of structured data entry screens
• Capture of coding output from NLP
