Presentation:  eHealth Architecture Principles - Australian Interoperability Context (Zoran Milosevic)

Agenda / Discussion

  1. SOA WG - Chair - Call for Nominations
    • Davide reminded the group that the official Call for Nominations was sent out to the general HSPC mailing list last Friday.
    • Nominations close this Friday.
    • NOTE:  If you didn't receive the e-mail, please notify Todd Cooper who can forward a copy of the announcement
  2. PRESENTATION:  eHealth Architecture Principles 
    • See PDF attached above
    • Zoran Milosevic presented an overview of the eHealth architecture principles used by NEHTA in Australia
    • The foundational documents can be obtained from NEHTA ...
    • Discussion points included ...
      • (Todd) Given the concise statements, many with specialized terms like "interoperability", how hard was it to get consensus on the published documents?
        • (Zoran) It was not easy. Took many discussions and hours.  But when it was all completed, there was strong consensus and support for the set of principles
        • (Davide) Which is exactly why HSPC should use these as a starting point - since they have already been vetted by a group of experts
      • (Davide) These should be replicated on the HSPC Architectural Principles wiki page, but some "leveling" added; for example, some are more general and business focused, while others are technically focused at specific architectural layers or service design
        • Should consider adopting these as HSPC's starting set
        • The implications section should include a focus on the HSPC-specific implications of the application of the principle
      • (Zoran) have any of the participants been involved in principle development in the past?
        • (Keith) yes, most recently for a Mayo project
      • (Zoran) Is HSPC only U.S. focused or are they open to international engagement?
        • (Davide) Though the key HSPC provider members and vendors are U.S. based, the organization is actively talking with organizations in Canada + 
        • Summits such as the 2015 semantics / terminology summit included representatives from across the planet, and 
        • In general, the open standards-based health informatics community is ... international!
    • ACTIONS
      • (Todd) update wiki w/ documents
      • (Davide, Zoran) Update HSPC Architectural Principles wiki page with these principles, correlated with Oscar's initial set, for comment and adoption as HSPC's
      • (SOA WG) Comment on these principles 
  3. Next Meeting
    • Monday, March 28th
    • Agenda:  TBD
