[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: Interoperability

["Don J" <djorgenson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, I note that the term "interoperability", when used in the proposal,
seems to be referring to lower-level "semantic" and upper-level syntactic
interoperability without addressing underlying transport-level
interoperability issues.

While the text mentions the HL7 CDA, it indicates that it may be taken into
account "as the project proceeds". However, it would seem that early support
for CDA-CRS ("Care Record Summary") standard is desirable. The relative
"stand-alone" and cross-organisation nature of many use cases (e.g. transfer
of care) that build upon the CDA make it ideal for early support on the OHF.
Both the HL7 CDA-CRS and the similar ASTM CCR ("Continuity of Care Record")
standards have been on a fast track because of their prospect for immediate
benefits to healthcare providers and patients even when an existing patient
record and practice management system is still paper based. The availability
of a generic CDA processor plug-in would be a valuable resource to
healthcare application developers.
