Potential Projects Review and Discussion

  • Projects Table Summary HSS Projects
  • Domain Analysis Model (DAM) - Gay Dolin and Emma Jones
    • Gay Dolin: The DAM is being recommended as a group project. We believe it will be a project that will help coalesce the workgroup and understand the whole domain in the context of how they relate to interoperability standards. It’s a foundational part of the product lines. We think it will help the group gel and help us determine what projects are going to come out of it, how they relate to each other and how they could be combined, etc.
    • Emma Jones: Participated in developing the Care Plan DAM and Learning Health System WG's Care Team DAM. The DAMs can help inform different implementation Guides, FHIR Profiles, CDA RIM and information models. 
    • The group discussed the pros and cons of having a high-level conceptual model for social services versus having a capabilities-level focus area.
    • Please see slides: Human and Social Services WG _ Public Call 3_10 _ DAM.pptx
  • HSDS to FHIR Mapping - Gordon Campbell
    • Goal is to demonstrate use of HSDS and related HSDS mapping to HL7 FHIR profiles for standardized, open resource directories that allow for look-up and retrieval of community resources.
    • Would like to work through the HSS Work Group and eventually get this balloted. 
    • Group had discussion on current use of standards and taxonomies.
