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

A Reference Model can be used as a universal model for designing application functionality. This has the advantages of:

  1. it saves time and resources by not having to design new one-off data models for applications and databases.
  2. not having to develop and support different databases and interfaces between systems for different healthcare domains - all healthcare domains can be represented and integrated using one single Reference Model.

Charter

The Software Implementers (SI) Work Group will:

  • provide a joint forum for HL7 members who are interested in, planning to create, Reference Model based applications. This forum will allow for the exchange of the various approaches that have already been implemented through out the world.
  • create a series of best practices documents which describes the approaches to take when one designs a new Reference Model based application, as well as the situation in which one or more of the layers of an application are legacy and can not be re-designed.
  • identify and support third parties in the design, development and maintenance of software toolkits that support the development of RIM based applications and databases.
  • provide feedback from the implementation community into the standards development process, especially in areas where the standard lacks functionality or clarity of documentation.

Relationships With Other HL7 Groups

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