The thesis for OKRs below is that we’re uniquely positioned to contribute by advancing open standards, tools, and practices. We can’t do it alone, but we can have outsize impact working with the community.
… via Argonaut: Develop an implementation guide for admission/discharge Subscriptions (P0)
Incorporate R5 Subscriptions proposal (Topic + Subscription resource) into FHIR CI build
Build a FHIR proxy server to implement R5 Subscriptions proposal in front of an R4 “data-only” server
Develop or extend a tool to generate V2 ADT messages, based on simulated patients (e.g., Synthea)
Generate and openly publish a set of sample messages for 100 Patients + medium or large population
Configure or build tooling to broadcast these ADT message over a simulated timeline (with speed-up)
Develop a sample Web application to demonstrate client-side subscription API
Develop a test suite to determine if FHIR Servers are compliant with admission/discharge Subscriptions
Develop an open-source “server bridge” that can receive FHIR deliveries and forward them to at least one flavor of non-web-accessible endpoints (e.g., by Mobile Push APIs on Android + iOS)
Publish blog post describing our contributions to the FHIR core spec (Subscriptions) + Argonaut Project
Draft proposal for “catch up on missed messages” operations
… via Argonaut: Develop a spec for SMART Web Messaging and CDS Hooks for radiology orders (P0)
Implement support for radiology ordering in CDS Hooks Sandbox
Implement support for order-select and order-sign hooks in CDS Hooks Sandbox
Develop a demonstration CDS Hooks Service that implements user-configurable behaviors to facilitate testing (e.g., “always report appropriate,” or “always report inappropriate”)
Implement general orders scratchpad UX in CDS Hooks Sandbox
Develop a demonstration “companion app” for the CDS Hooks Service, that implements UX (e.g., a flow chart or navigation sequence for gathering information and listing appropriate order choices)
Publish Argonaut specification for CDS Hooks v1
Publish SMART Web Messaging specification including “scratchpad.*” messages
Develop a test suite to determine if EHRs are compatible with SMART Web Messaging
Apply the FHIR IG publisher to at least one project ourselves (e.g., one Argonaut Guide)
Contribute at least one performance improvement or bug fix, to begin exploring the codebase
Interview 3 users (1 MITRE, 1 Argonaut, 1 international) about experience with the tool and publish an open summary of our findings
Conduct preliminary UX research on the FHIR Spec + IG template. Interview three software developers in the Madison area who agree to be screen + voice recorded, answering "simple" questions about the specification
Identify MS Healthcare staff resources to provide 1-2 days of UX consulting to assess and suggest an improvement plan for usability of FHIR IG template and core specification.
Participate in CARIN community + board meetings
Support CARIN publication of an implementation guide for consumer access to healthcare financial data
Send a representative to June 4 DC Identity Summit
[Others TODO]
Host one meet-up, educational session, or whiteboarding/brainstorming session per quarter, with at least 10 attendees
Invite developers from the community to participate in UX testing sessions (e.g., on FHIR specification)
Build a Madison-area FHIR channel on chat.fhir.org as a local community hub, with 25 subscribers
Schedule workshop with 2-6 local developers re: their needs for testing, libraries, tools (on Argonaut)
Identify one or more local companies or health systems that can contribute to a public, heterogeneous collection of real-world-derived HL7 V2 data
Interview 3 local candidates for a position on our team
