RIMBAA Mission and Charter

RIMBAA WG

DRAFT - THIS PAGE CONTAINS EDITS FOR THE NEXT VERSION OF THE MISSION STATEMENT

Mission

The mission of the HL7 Software Implementers (SI) Work Group is to facilitate the adoption and software implementation of HL7 standars.

Note: SI is a working title, there's an ongoing discussion as to the suggested new name.

Charter

The focus of the WG lies particularly on the use of Reference Model based standards (e.g. the version 3 RIM, FHIR and CDA) for application design and the storage of data, and to a lesser degree on the exchange and use of the data.

The Software Implementers (SI) Work Group will:

1. Provide a joint forum for HL7 members who are interested in, or planning to create, applications that support or use one or more HL7 standards. This forum will allow for the exchange of the various approaches that have already been implemented through out the world.
2. Create a series of best practices documents that document the architectural and software implementation approaches.
3. Identify and support third parties in the design, development and maintenance of software toolkits that support the development of software applications that support or use one or more HL7 standards.
4. Provide feedback from the implementation community into the standards development process, especially in areas where the HL7 standards lack functionality or clarity of documentation.

Relationships With Other HL7 Groups

The SI Work Group will work with the Tooling, CGIT and Decision Support Work Groups to share experiences and best practices where the scope of these groups overlaps with the scope of SI.
