Workflow Collection Maturity

OHIE Workflow Collection Maturity Level Definitions

The OpenHIE workflow collections are the building blocks used to support standards-based health information exchange interactions. The same building blocks can be used to support multiple clinical and health information use cases.

Information Moving

This information will be moving to version 4.0 of the OpenHIE Architecture Specification

Collection Maturity Level (Levels are cumulative and cannot be skipped)	Description
OHIE LEVEL 1 - Emerging Collection	Real-World Need Identified Workflow in discussion
OHIE LEVEL 2 - Defined Collection	Workflows are defined, documented and designed to meet the need of the identified use case. Implementers are aware of the design and have provided input. Workflows have ARB approval
OHIE LEVEL 3 - Reference Solutions	Reference Software solutions exist, are available and have been tested
OHIE LEVEL 4 - Single Implementation of this workflow collection	Single instance of this workflow collection is implemented "in a real-world setting"
OHIE LEVEL 5 - Multiple Implementations of this workflow collection	One or more OpenHIE implementations of this workflow collection in one or more countries

Description

Aggregate Data Reporting

OHIE LEVEL 2 - Defined Collections

This collection of workflows is designed to support aggregate data exchange of health indicators. To fully support this capability, metadata describing the indicators also needs to be translated or exchanged.

The workflows in this collection are designed to support the following types of data exchanges:

Sending an aggregate data message from an HIE.
An HIE receiving an aggregate data message.
Subscribing to metadata that can be used to support translation of synchronization processes.
Responding to a request for updated metadata.

This collection is targeted for initial pilot implemented by PEPFAR in late 2016 / early 2017.

OHIE LEVEL 4 - Single Implementation of this workflow collection

The Client Registry is designed to assist in uniquely identifying individuals who receive healthcare services in the geographic region and/or use cases supported HIE.

The workflows are designed to support the following types of data exchanges:

A Point-of-Service (PoS) systems such as EMRs or other patient identity sources can add or update a patient's demographics information in the Client Registry.
A Point-of-Service (PoS) or other system that is authorized to access the the HIE can query the Client Registry for the patient's unique id or demographic information.

For more information on exemplary implementations, please contact the Client Registry Community.
