Open Health Tools (OHT) IHE Profiles Project (formerly Eclipse OHF IHE Plugins and Bridge) December 9, 2008 Sarah Knoop IBM Almaden Research Center

Background on this Contribution ¡The Eclipse Open Healthcare Framework is an Eclipse Technology subproject created in 2005 l Four committer companies, roughly 20 Eclipse committers l IBM’s participation approved by OSSC and ERB in October/November 2005 l Goal was to create an open-source framework for building interoperable, extensible healthcare systems l IBM Research’s contributions to OHF include: ¡ Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) component ¡ OHF Bridge component ¡ Spatiotemporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM) component 2

High Level Description of IBM Contribution ¡ IBM Research: l Created the IHE Charter Project at Open Health Tools l Transferred source code and documentation for the following Eclipse OHF components developed by IBM Research to the IHE Charter Project at Open Health Tools: ¡ IHE component ¡ Bridge component l Has made additional contributions of source code and documentation for these components to the IHE Charter Project at Open Health Tools l Will, at an appropriate time, discontinue additional work on and eventually archive the Eclipse OHF IHE and Bridge components 3

IBM Contribution Details ¡ The IHE Component is an implementation of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles and transactions l The IHE is a healthcare-focused body that profiles interoperability transactions through open standards (such as HL 7 and DICOM) l OHF provides API-level tooling to IHE interoperability transactions, such as document and patient identity sharing l Native Java, packaged as Eclipse plug-ins, 550 k LOC ¡ The OHF Bridge component is a server-side reference implementation of the IHE component, designed for use as a Web service (Tomcat/Axis) l Provides simplified, platform-neutral access to IHE component l Java+OSGi extensions, packaged as Eclipse plug-ins, the proposal use case for server-side Equinox, 20 k LOC ¡ Strong user community l 15+ vendors have tested using OHF/OHT at Connectathons 4

What stays the same ¡ Overall code base is mostly unchanged l Both Eclipse plug-ins and Bridge remain l Existing users will need minimal updates l Changes required for CPs, ATNA, new profiles, and Java packaging ¡ License, source vetting, IP indemnification l Eclipse Public License l OHT Development Process almost identical to Eclipse Development Process ¡ Committer and user-driven community support l Pre-Connectathon/MESA Support l At-Connectathon Support ¡ Binary build availability 7

IHE Profiles/Actors Supported ¡ PIX/PDQ/PDVQ v 2 l Patient Identity Source l PIX/PDQ/PDVQ Consumer ¡ XDS. a, XDS. b, XCA l Document Source, Document Consumer ¡ ATNA l Secure Application (Auditing, Node Auth. ) ¡ XUA l X-Service User, X-Service Provider (using WS-Trust) 9

What’s new for 2008/2009 ¡ Complete CP updates for existing profile implementations l Support for XDS AND/OR queries l New ATNA Implementation ¡ New Profile Support l XUA (Official) l Asynchronous XDS. b (Source, Consumer) l XDM Portable Media Creator (almost there, w/ Sage Health) l XDR Document Recipient (reference) ¡ Working on … l PIX/PDQ v 3 Source, Consumer l Shared Value Sets (SVS) Consumer l Notification of Availability (NAV) Sender 10

2009 NA Connectathon ¡ Fourth year of on-site user support at the North American Connectathon ¡ General plan l l Committers available for support and bug fixes Skype chat for user support and discussions Web site with Bugzilla, updated builds Bridge RHIO Configuration with Registries and Repositories listed ¡ Like last year, our implementation will be tested as a formal system 11

IHE Profiles Milestones Roadmap – near term 3 rd milestone build 2 nd milestone April 2009 build March 2009 Release 1. 0 May 2009 1 st milestone build Feb 2009 Project formation/ Approval August/Sept Presented to 2008 Board July 2008 Go Live Sept 15 2008 12

Next Steps ¡Expanding Committer base ¡Expanding Profile coverage ¡Code Review l Look for framework components (ex. security, web services? ) l Look for overlap with other projects (ex. HL 7 workbench, tooling) 13
