SAIF IG proposal

This page is intended for the development of a set of proposals to create the necessary methodology and documents for implementing SAIF. We see at least three projects:

Scoping the SAIF Implementation Guide

• Deliverables: Chapter/Section Outline with descriptions of each chapter and section
• Timeframe: 2 weeks for initial outline, 4 weeks review, 2 weeks final edits
• Budget:
  • See below (part of SAIF IG)
  • Estimated Effort: 120 hours
  • Resources
    • Senior Technical Analyst (75%)
    • Senior Architect (25%)
• Information Sources:
  • Iterations of SAIF CD (some of the content was removed, to be later included in the IG)
  • NCI IG
  • Artifact Definition Project
• Issues
  • Concern that digging into GF (governance framework) 'can-of-worms'
  • Process has suffered from lack of resources from the beginning, and now a 'coup' which has enthusiastically grabbed a few key remaining resources.
  • Do we continue with OO knowing the OO process is without rudder (the SAIF IG is the rudder), stop OO, do IG, then restart OO?

Develop the SAIF Implementation Guide

• Deliverables: The IG document

• Timeframe: 12 months
  • Initial Document: 4 months
  • Initial Document Review: 4 months (faster if OOC)
    • Peer Review
    • Potential Out-of-cycle
  • Finalize Document: 2 months
  • Ballot Document??
• Budget:
  • Estimated Effort: 1500 hours (incl. 120 from phase I, IG outline)
  • Resources
    • Senior Technical Analyst (50%)
    • Senior Architect (50%)
  • Out-of-Cycle
    • Lloyd
    • Grahame
    • Woody
    • Lorraine
    • Patrick
    • John K.
    • Steve H.
    • John Q.
    • Austin K.
    • Someone from services?

• Information Sources:
  • Iterations of SAIF CD (some of the content was removed, to be later included in the IG)
  • NCI IG
  • Artifact Definition Project
  • OO WG progress to date on composite order and lab order
  • EHR WG progress on their SAIF project
• Issues
  • How much can we really leverage from SAIF CD process?
  • How much can we leverage from the HDF?
  • Can this, does this, include all three HL7 paradigms (Messages, Documents, Services)?

Technical Artifacts

• Deliverables: MIF, Generator, Schemas,
• Resources:
• Timeframe:
• Budget:

Not in Scope

• FHIR??
• Pattern Definitions themselves (that patterns are a necessary tool for SAIF, should be in the IG)
