3a. Project Scope

The project goal is to develop a metadata standard that can address how to exchange any standards-based app or clinical content package by any organization (e.g., IHE, HL7, Logica, etc.). Standard metadata modeling is significant to clinical decision support, clinical quality measures, clinical smart apps to manage information for orders, laboratory studies, imaging studies, social determinants of health, patient empowerment calculations, clinical observations, military history, clinical exposures to determine patient risk for disease or injury, insurance benefits, clinical trial candidates, etc. Possible metadata concepts include items such as author / steward of the content, date(s) applicable, inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, references, supporting evidence, strength of evidence and recommendation, expected users, etc, with actual concepts to be developed as part of the project.
As metadata elements need to address and accommodate resources owned and managed across HL7's product families, i.e. FHIR, CDA, V2, as well as resources that are found outside of the HL7 (i.e. BPM+), the project should be managed in Cross-Group Projects rather than a single area/domain. There is some existing work in CDS and CQI that will represent a good start and therefore, those WGs have signed on as co-sponsors, but to scope is to generalize those metadata for all concerns.

The Logica/HL7 Health Services Marketplace Release 2 (the "Specification" under SOA) provides a vendor-agnostic API for publication, curation, discovery, and distribution of interoperable service implementations. It is design to be agnostic to programming language, development framework, database, and I/O technologies, as well as account for client-side applications that require on-site deployment, such as SMART-on-FHIR.

This implementation guide defines the product metadata for products implementing several prominent or emerging HIT standards. That is, marketplace implementors intending to support curation and exchange of standardized product types should follow the guidance provided here to optimally support exchange of of product listings across implementations. Once implemented, marketplace operators should be able to:

* Accept manual and automated product build submissions from developers compliant with the standards supported under this IG.
* Post-product submission, provide:
** Automated "smoke test"-level regression testing against standard-specific compliance validations.
** Manual review by non-technical SMEs.
* Allow users to search for relevant products based on standard- and artifact-specific metadata, such as via free text search.

  1. Preston Lee Bryn Rhodes I am sending this to TSC e-vote today, but I believe this will need a publishing facilitator added to receive approval.
