eHealth 2010 in Vancouver
Last week at the last eHealth conference in Vancouver, Mr. David Paré, a senior eHealth consultant at JRS, presented a concurrent session on Interoperability Profiles as part of the Strategies to Address eHealth Capacity track.
Infoway introduced the concept of interoperability profiles (IP) (or X-Profiles) in the first blueprint. After many years many jurisdictions are still struggling with the concept and wonder why they should document those interoperability profiles (IP)? Through a concrete set of examples, you will learn how to leverage these X-Profiles to accelerate EHR time-to-market and facilitate point-of-service integration!
Based on many years of work with the province of Québec on its EHR Solution (i.e. the DSQ) and also based on the latest standards, an X-Profile methodology emerged. Many health organizations are now looking at service based profiles and this fits perfectly in the SOA paradigm. You have a joint effort between OMG and HL7 called HSSP (Healthcare Services Specification Project) and now even IHE is looking at it with an SOA White Paper (SOAWP) proposing “IHE Profiles as an interoperability foundation for SOA”.
So this methodology reflects many years experience in the field and mainly provides a set of documented processes, specification and design templates, a process design tool (i.e. Tibco Business Studio), a collaborative environment and more...
Structuring and standardizing the elaboration of these interoperability profiles is a key factor in successfully implementing your provincial EHR initiative.
Structuring and standardizing the elaboration of these interoperability profiles is a key factor in successfully implementing your provincial EHR initiative.
Using such a methodology will help reuse and standardized artefacts across stakeholders. One of the key components is, in fact, the collaborative environment. The more people use it to share interoperability profiles or X-Profiles, the more comprehensive it becomes. And the more information is available to share, the more people reuse it. This process will in term accelerate X-Profiles adoption across stakeholders, thus facilitating their design, implementation, testing and deployment!
Standardizing and sharing Infostructure and EHR interoperability profiles (I-IP and EHR-IP) will help your vendors, partners and internal project team talk the same language, thus making communications more efficient. These X-Profiles are core to every EHR initiative, when properly documented and shared, they become a powerful tool for everyone involved.
