Mission

Improve the interoperability of healthcare systems through shared implementable clinical information models and APIs.

(A single curated collection.)

Charter

• Create a shared repository of detailed clinical information models
• Using an approved formalism
• Archetype Definition Language (ADL)
• Archetype Modeling Language (AML)
• Based on a common set of base data types
• With formal bindings of the models to standard coded terminologies
• Repository is open to everyone and models are licensed free for use at no cost

Models will support multiple contexts:

• EHR data storage and retrieval using standard APIs
• Message payload and service payload
• Decision logic (queries of EHR data)
• Clinical trials data (clinical research)
• Quality measures
• Normalization of data for secondary use
• Creation of data entry screens (like SDC)
• Capture of coding output from NLP

Work Products and Contributions to HL7 Processes

• Reference Information Model
• Shared repository of models
  • One or more examples of instance data will be created for each model
  • showing both proper and improper use
  • Models shall specify a single preferred unit of measure (unit normalization)
  • Models can support inclusion of processing knowledge (default values)
• Tools/compilers/transformers to create representations of the models to support software developers need (joint work)
• Tracking and documentation of the use of the models and the experience gained in using the models

Formal Relationships With Other HL7 Groups

• FHIR
• Patient Care
• Clinical Decision Support
• Structured Documents
• Vocabulary
• Clinical Interoperability Council
• Service Oriented Architecture
• Templates
• Terminology Authority
