Discussion Topics

• Process to recommend use of certain tools
• The Tooling Work Group asks for a couple more (14-oct-2011):
  1. Process to evaluate implementation oriented tools/toolkits
  2. Discuss the possible creation of a 'reference implementation’
  3. Criteria to use to determine quality/utility of implementation oriented tools – how do we know which tools to recommend/support/facilitate development
  4. What types of tasks and roles would use tools to aid in standards adoption and implementation

• Tools for RIM based software development (renamed from Implementation Tooling 17-jan-2012 San Antonio WGM)
• HL7 Tools list
  • http://www.hl7.com.au/HL7-Tools.htm
  • others?
• Should the Project Scope Statement (PSS) be adjusted
  • Add category for tool:
    • help develop standards (e.g. RMIM Designer, RMIMs)
    • help use standards (EHR Profile Tool, EHR-S FM)
    • implement standards (class library Marc-Hi Everest datatypes)
