(REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

Hi All,

As a follow up from this morning’s OHIE architecture call I’ve attached the finalized draft 2019 OHIE architecture diagram. I would ask
members of the Architecture Review Board take a look at this version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram. If anyone disagrees
with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.

Please provide your response by EOD Wednesdayat which time I will tally responses.

Looks good, but ‘ILR’ does stick out as the only primary element described with an acronym in the diagram.

Hi,

Before I can agree or disagree, I see that the components are split up into two boxed sections. It’s not clear why this is the case. We may need some more commentary around that.

Cheers,

Ryan

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here) - I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEM at the top but then HMIS System at the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Daniel.

I agree that we should be clear about what the boxes/groupings represent and consistent in the labeling. I also am surprised to see logistics explicitly referenced but health financing notably missing. Regarding this point, I would very much like to see some indication in our diagram that there are complementary domains that are “loosely coupled” to an HIE rather than appearing to indicate that these domains are “part of” an HIE. I’m not sure how we illustrate this… but I do think it is, conceptually, a very important message for us to clearly convey.

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call. Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion during our SCM community calls.

Warmest regards,

Derek

We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Daniel.

Subject: RE: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call. Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion
during our SCM community calls.

Warmest regards,

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here )

  • I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue
with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and

Derek,
The supply chain group was nearly ready, so I prodded them to present to the Architecture community. I don’t disagree that there is synergy with insurance as well. I believe the insurance community has prioritized their goals differently than the supply chain community and that is ok. I haven’t seen the insurance community talking about architecture components yet. But when they are ready, we can put them on the agenda for an Architecture meeting.
I look forward to the conversation when they are ready. If they are ready, let’s get them on an agenda.
Jennifer

This is a great conversation – thanks everyone for your thoughts thus far!

As we contemplate this diagram, I want to resurface some of the premises regarding the architecture diagram. Recall that the goal of this diagram is to provide a high level overview of what we all know is a rich and complex architecture. Also recall that we are creating individual elements to be mixed and matched as we explore the different configurations that OpenHIE can assume.

So with that in mind, I would ask you all to consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs. If there are tweaks needed to achieve that overall goalit’s important to understand what those are.T

Thanks again for all of your contributions to OpenHIE!

Hi all,
I must admit to be slightly confused as to the “doing one at a time” vs “all at once.” In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository.html

Knowing that decisions on what’s needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here) - I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Regards,

Daniel.

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for
approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Cheers

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here )

  • I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several
rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram
though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at
the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify
these points.

Regards,

Daniel.

Hi,

Before I can agree or disagree, I see that the components are split up into two boxed sections. It’s not clear why this is the case. We may need some more commentary

Thank you all for your input on the OHIE architecture diagram over the last few days. We have taken your feedback and made minor changes to the diagram, see attached. Please take a look at the revised diagram and remember (as Shaun put
it), “consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs.”

Couple other things to think about. One, the UHC community had a call today and discussed their roadmap for the next 12 months. They plan to take a look at how the UHC could be represented in the diagram in the future (fall 2019). Two,
we recognize that the diagram will need to be flexible to support unique implementer needs and we are working on a way in which the community can create customizable diagrams using movable icons.

ACTION ITEM: Process to gain consensus will be the same as before. We ask that

members of the Architecture Review Board
take a look at this latest version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram.
If anyone disagrees with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for
approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Hi all,

I must admit to be slightly confused as to the “doing one at a time” vs “all at once.” In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are
we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository.html

Knowing that decisions on what’s needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused
HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call.
Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion during our SCM community calls.

Warmest regards,

We spent at least one or two calls adding the supply chain icons to the diagram. The insurance community has not yet discussed architecture diagram changes.
We will add theirs when they are ready.

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for
approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Hi all,

I must admit to be slightly confused as to the “doing one at a time” vs “all at once.” In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are
we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository.html

Knowing that decisions on what’s needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call.
Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion during our SCM community calls.

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here )

  • I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several
rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram
though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at
the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify
these points.

Daniel.

This is looking great from my perspective. A few minor comments:

  • Metadata and Business should be aligned vertically

  • For those trying to modify the diagram, dotted lines can present a problem - can we switch to a solid line?

  • I am not sure that I can accurately explain the distinction between mobile system and EMR, and that this distinction is significant enough to call out in the diagram. Maybe we can combine them? Also, see attached icon that I have been using Noting that the WHO is using the language ‘Digiital Client Record’ to include both EMRs and what have been called eRegisters and eRegistries. This really goes back to the discussion as to what exactly goes in the bottom row - are they type of systems by business domain, are they places of service. Looking at the rest of the row it seems more about the type.of system.

  • On all our assets under ohie.net and wiki.ohie.net we jump back and forth between External System and PoService where P is either Point of Place. It would be great to settle on one term and update these pages. Not withstanding the unfortunate acronym, I have to admit a preference for PoS. External System could create confusion in particular as we interface with other back end systems. For example if we utilize an eGovernment system such as mobile payment gateway or SMS flow engine as part of our infrastructure, it would be external to the HIE, but would not in my mind be “below the line.”

Cheers,
-carl

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

Thank you all for your input on the OHIE architecture diagram over the last few days. We have taken your feedback and made minor changes to the diagram, see attached. Please take a look at the revised diagram and remember (as Shaun put
it), “consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs.”

Couple other things to think about. One, the UHC community had a call today and discussed their roadmap for the next 12 months. They plan to take a look at how the UHC could be represented in the diagram in the future (fall 2019). Two,
we recognize that the diagram will need to be flexible to support unique implementer needs and we are working on a way in which the community can create customizable diagrams using movable icons.

ACTION ITEM: Process to gain consensus will be the same as before. We ask that

members of the Architecture Review Board
take a look at this latest version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram.
If anyone disagrees with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.

Please respond by EOD Friday, June 14

My vote is this is not quite ready yet (sorry, it seems things jump out at you when it is time to commit… funny how that works)

I (mostly) agree with Carl here.

  • Solid lines rather than dotted.

  • I don’t believe that registries or other operational components should be lumped in with the “Digital Client Record”. It is very important to differentiate between the SHR (client / patient-centric data) and other data that is used to make health service delivery possible.

  • My preference is “Place of Service” rather than “External Systems”. Bottom row is not meant to be entirely comprehensive but rather representative (deserves a footnote?)

I would also add that having InterLinked Registries as a cog wheel and then showing the registries above could be a bit confusing. The concept of InterLinked Registries is a combination of the registries in the architecture and access mechanisms (service) that correlate registries to meet business needs. Can we re-label the cog wheel to be “Registry Linking Service”?

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

This is looking great from my perspective. A few minor comments:

  • Metadata and Business should be aligned vertically

  • For those trying to modify the diagram, dotted lines can present a problem - can we switch to a solid line?

  • I am not sure that I can accurately explain the distinction between mobile system and EMR, and that this distinction is significant enough to call out in the diagram. Maybe we can combine them? Also, see attached icon that I have been using Noting that the WHO is using the language ‘Digiital Client Record’ to include both EMRs and what have been called eRegisters and eRegistries. This really goes back to the discussion as to what exactly goes in the bottom row - are they type of systems by business domain, are they places of service. Looking at the rest of the row it seems more about the type.of system.

  • On all our assets under ohie.net and wiki.ohie.net we jump back and forth between External System and PoService where P is either Point of Place. It would be great to settle on one term and update these pages. Not withstanding the unfortunate acronym, I have to admit a preference for PoS. External System could create confusion in particular as we interface with other back end systems. For example if we utilize an eGovernment system such as mobile payment gateway or SMS flow engine as part of our infrastructure, it would be external to the HIE, but would not in my mind be “below the line.”

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

Thank you all for your input on the OHIE architecture diagram over the last few days. We have taken your feedback and made minor changes to the diagram, see attached. Please take a look at the revised diagram and remember (as Shaun put it), “consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs.”

Couple other things to think about. One, the UHC community had a call today and discussed their roadmap for the next 12 months. They plan to take a look at how the UHC could be represented in the diagram in the future (fall 2019). Two, we recognize that the diagram will need to be flexible to support unique implementer needs and we are working on a way in which the community can create customizable diagrams using movable icons.

ACTION ITEM: Process to gain consensus will be the same as before. We ask that members of the Architecture Review Board take a look at this latest version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram. If anyone disagrees with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.

Please respond by EOD Friday, June 14

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Hi all,

I must admit to be slightly confused as to the “doing one at a time” vs “all at once.” In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository.html

Knowing that decisions on what’s needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call. Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion during our SCM community calls.

Warmest regards,

I agree that we should be clear about what the boxes/groupings represent and consistent in the labeling. I also am surprised to see logistics explicitly referenced but health financing notably missing. Regarding this point, I would very much like to see some indication in our diagram that there are complementary domains that are “loosely coupled” to an HIE rather than appearing to indicate that these domains are “part of” an HIE. I’m not sure how we illustrate this… but I do think it is, conceptually, a very important message for us to clearly convey.

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here) - I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Regards,

Daniel.

Hi Ron,

In regards to your second bullet, the are two different uses of eRegistry which may be causing some confusion. To be a bit more precise, by an eRegister/eRegistry I did not mean something like a National Cancer Registry, rather something like how OpenSRP or DHIS2 Tracker is commonly used. So we have two uses of the term eRegistry. The first, I would describe as something like :
A system used for reporting all cases of a specific disease/health condition within a jurisdiction for programmatic monitoring purposes at the central level
The second, which is where WHO has started using ‘digital client record’ to help disambiguate, is something like
A system used by providers during the provision of care for the management of client information related to a specific disease or health condition within a care plan at the facility or community level
Certainly information from the second type of system could be used to feed the first type of system, though I would expect that the information requirements in the first is significantly less than the second.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by 'operational components’ and if that would apply to both of the definitions above.

Cheers,

My vote is this is not quite ready yet (sorry, it seems things jump out at you when it is time to commit… funny how that works)

I (mostly) agree with Carl here.

Solid lines rather than dotted.
I don’t believe that registries or other operational components should be lumped in with the “Digital Client Record”. It is very important to differentiate between the SHR (client / patient-centric data) and other data that is used to make health service delivery possible.
My preference is “Place of Service” rather than “External Systems”. Bottom row is not meant to be entirely comprehensive but rather representative (deserves a footnote?)

I would also add that having InterLinked Registries as a cog wheel and then showing the registries above could be a bit confusing. The concept of InterLinked Registries is a combination of the registries in the architecture and access mechanisms (service) that correlate registries to meet business needs. Can we re-label the cog wheel to be “Registry Linking Service”?

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

This is looking great from my perspective. A few minor comments:
* Metadata and Business should be aligned vertically
* For those trying to modify the diagram, dotted lines can present a problem - can we switch to a solid line?
* I am not sure that I can accurately explain the distinction between mobile system and EMR, and that this distinction is significant enough to call out in the diagram. Maybe we can combine them? Also, see attached icon that I have been using Noting that the WHO is using the language 'Digiital Client Record' to include both EMRs and what have been called eRegisters and eRegistries. This really goes back to the discussion as to what exactly goes in the bottom row - are they type of systems by business domain, are they places of service. Looking at the rest of the row it seems more about the type.of system.
* On all our assets under ohie.net <http://ohie.net/&gt; and wiki.ohie.net <http://wiki.ohie.net/&gt; we jump back and forth between External System and PoService where P is either Point of Place. It would be great to settle on one term and update these pages. Not withstanding the unfortunate acronym, I have to admit a preference for PoS. External System could create confusion in particular as we interface with other back end systems. For example if we utilize an eGovernment system such as mobile payment gateway or SMS flow engine as part of our infrastructure, it would be external to the HIE, but would not in my mind be "below the line."

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

Thank you all for your input on the OHIE architecture diagram over the last few days. We have taken your feedback and made minor changes to the diagram, see attached. Please take a look at the revised diagram and remember (as Shaun put it), "consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs."

Couple other things to think about. One, the UHC community had a call today and discussed their roadmap for the next 12 months. They plan to take a look at how the UHC could be represented in the diagram in the future (fall 2019). Two, we recognize that the diagram will need to be flexible to support unique implementer needs and we are working on a way in which the community can create customizable diagrams using movable icons.
ACTION ITEM: Process to gain consensus will be the same as before. We ask that members of the Architecture Review Board <Log In - OpenHIE Wiki; take a look at this latest version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram. If anyone disagrees with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.
Please respond by EOD Friday, June 14

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Hi all,
I must admit to be slightly confused as to the "doing one at a time" vs "all at once." In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:
  Capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository - FHIR v5.0.0

Knowing that decisions on what's needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.
I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call. Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion during our SCM community calls.

I agree that we should be clear about what the boxes/groupings represent and consistent in the labeling. I also am surprised to see logistics explicitly referenced but health financing notably missing. Regarding this point, I would very much like to see some indication in our diagram that there are complementary domains that are “loosely coupled” to an HIE rather than appearing to indicate that these domains are “part of” an HIE. I’m not sure how we illustrate this… but I do think it is, conceptually, a very important message for us to clearly convey.

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as 'Metadata Services' and 'Business Domain Services' (see here <2019 Architecture Diagram - icons - Google Slides) - I think it's worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we're promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don't see an issue with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it's practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a 'default' diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally 'Agree' but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Daniel.

Hi Ron,

In regards to your second bullet, the are two different uses of eRegistry which may be causing some confusion. To be a bit more precise, by an eRegister/eRegistry I did not mean something like a National Cancer Registry, rather something like how OpenSRP or DHIS2 Tracker is commonly used. So we have two uses of the term eRegistry. The first, I would describe as something like :

  • A system used for reporting all cases of a specific disease/health condition within a jurisdiction for programmatic monitoring purposes at the central level

The second, which is where WHO has started using ‘digital client record’ to help disambiguate, is something like

  • A system used by providers during the provision of care for the management of client information related to a specific disease or health condition within a care plan at the facility or community level

Certainly information from the second type of system could be used to feed the first type of system, though I would expect that the information requirements in the first is significantly less than the second.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by 'operational components’ and if that would apply to both of the definitions above.

My vote is this is not quite ready yet (sorry, it seems things jump out at you when it is time to commit… funny how that works)

I (mostly) agree with Carl here.

  • Solid lines rather than dotted.
  • I don’t believe that registries or other operational components should be lumped in with the “Digital Client Record”. It is very important to differentiate between the SHR (client / patient-centric data) and other data that is used to make health service delivery possible.
  • My preference is “Place of Service” rather than “External Systems”. Bottom row is not meant to be entirely comprehensive but rather representative (deserves a footnote?)

I would also add that having InterLinked Registries as a cog wheel and then showing the registries above could be a bit confusing. The concept of InterLinked Registries is a combination of the registries in the architecture and access mechanisms (service) that correlate registries to meet business needs. Can we re-label the cog wheel to be “Registry Linking Service”?

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

This is looking great from my perspective. A few minor comments:

  • Metadata and Business should be aligned vertically
  • For those trying to modify the diagram, dotted lines can present a problem - can we switch to a solid line?
  • I am not sure that I can accurately explain the distinction between mobile system and EMR, and that this distinction is significant enough to call out in the diagram. Maybe we can combine them? Also, see attached icon that I have been using Noting that the WHO is using the language ‘Digiital Client Record’ to include both EMRs and what have been called eRegisters and eRegistries. This really goes back to the discussion as to what exactly goes in the bottom row - are they type of systems by business domain, are they places of service. Looking at the rest of the row it seems more about the type.of system.
  • On all our assets under ohie.net and wiki.ohie.net we jump back and forth between External System and PoService where P is either Point of Place. It would be great to settle on one term and update these pages. Not withstanding the unfortunate acronym, I have to admit a preference for PoS. External System could create confusion in particular as we interface with other back end systems. For example if we utilize an eGovernment system such as mobile payment gateway or SMS flow engine as part of our infrastructure, it would be external to the HIE, but would not in my mind be “below the line.”

Thank you all for your input on the OHIE architecture diagram over the last few days. We have taken your feedback and made minor changes to the diagram, see attached. Please take a look at the revised diagram and remember (as Shaun put it), “consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs.”

Couple other things to think about. One, the UHC community had a call today and discussed their roadmap for the next 12 months. They plan to take a look at how the UHC could be represented in the diagram in the future (fall 2019). Two, we recognize that the diagram will need to be flexible to support unique implementer needs and we are working on a way in which the community can create customizable diagrams using movable icons.

ACTION ITEM: Process to gain consensus will be the same as before. We ask that members of the Architecture Review Board take a look at this latest version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram. If anyone disagrees with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.

Please respond by EOD Friday, June 14

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Hi all,

I must admit to be slightly confused as to the “doing one at a time” vs “all at once.” In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository.html

Knowing that decisions on what’s needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call. Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion during our SCM community calls.

Warmest regards,

I agree that we should be clear about what the boxes/groupings represent and consistent in the labeling. I also am surprised to see logistics explicitly referenced but health financing notably missing. Regarding this point, I would very much like to see some indication in our diagram that there are complementary domains that are “loosely coupled” to an HIE rather than appearing to indicate that these domains are “part of” an HIE. I’m not sure how we illustrate this… but I do think it is, conceptually, a very important message for us to clearly convey.

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here) - I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Regards,

Daniel.

Certainly information from the second type of system could be used to feed the first type of system, though I would expect that the information requirements in the first is significantly
less than the second.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by 'operational components’ and if that would apply to both of the definitions above.

I (mostly) agree with Carl here.

  • Solid lines rather than dotted.
  • I don’t believe that registries or other operational components should be lumped in with the “Digital Client Record”. It is very important to differentiate between the SHR (client / patient-centric data) and other data that is used to make health service delivery
    possible.
  • My preference is “Place of Service” rather than “External Systems”. Bottom row is not meant to be entirely comprehensive but rather representative (deserves a footnote?)

I would also add that having InterLinked Registries as a cog wheel and then showing the registries above could be a bit confusing. The concept of InterLinked Registries is a combination of the registries in the architecture and access
mechanisms (service) that correlate registries to meet business needs. Can we re-label the cog wheel to be “Registry Linking Service”?

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

This is looking great from my perspective. A few minor comments:

  • Metadata and Business should be aligned vertically
  • For those trying to modify the diagram, dotted lines can present a problem - can we switch to a solid line?
  • I am not sure that I can accurately explain the distinction between mobile system and EMR, and that this distinction is significant enough to call out in the diagram. Maybe we can combine them? Also, see attached icon that I have been
    using Noting that the WHO is using the language ‘Digiital Client Record’ to include both EMRs and what have been called eRegisters and eRegistries. This really goes back to the discussion as to what exactly goes
    in the bottom row - are they type of systems by business domain, are they places of service. Looking at the rest of the row it seems more about the type.of system.
  • On all our assets under ohie.net and wiki.ohie.net we
    jump back and forth between External System and PoService where P is either Point of Place. It would be great to settle on one term and update these pages. Not withstanding the unfortunate acronym, I have to admit a preference for PoS. External System could
    create confusion in particular as we interface with other back end systems. For example if we utilize an eGovernment system such as mobile payment gateway or SMS flow engine as part of our infrastructure, it would be external to the HIE, but would not in
    my mind be “below the line.”

Thank you all for your input on the OHIE architecture diagram over the last few days. We have taken your feedback and made minor changes to the diagram, see attached. Please take a look at the revised diagram and remember (as Shaun put
it), “consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs.”

Couple other things to think about. One, the UHC community had a call today and discussed their roadmap for the next 12 months. They plan to take a look at how the UHC could be represented in the diagram in the future (fall 2019). Two,
we recognize that the diagram will need to be flexible to support unique implementer needs and we are working on a way in which the community can create customizable diagrams using movable icons.

ACTION ITEM: Process to gain consensus will be the same as before. We ask that members
of the Architecture Review Board
take a look at this latest version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram. If anyone
disagrees with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.

Please respond by EOD Friday, June 14

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for
approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Hi all,

I must admit to be slightly confused as to the “doing one at a time” vs “all at once.” In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are
we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository.html

Knowing that decisions on what’s needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call. Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion
during our SCM community calls.

I agree that we should be clear about what the boxes/groupings represent and consistent in the labeling. I also am surprised to see logistics explicitly referenced but health financing notably missing. Regarding this point, I would very
much like to see some indication in our diagram that there are complementary domains
that are “loosely coupled” to an HIE rather than appearing to indicate that these domains are “part of” an HIE. I’m not sure how we illustrate this… but I do think it is, conceptually, a very important message for us to clearly convey.

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here )

  • I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue
with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and
to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at
the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Regards,

Daniel.

Hi Ron,

In regards to your second bullet, the are two different uses of eRegistry which may be causing some confusion. To be a bit more precise, by an eRegister/eRegistry I did not mean something
like a National Cancer Registry, rather something like how OpenSRP or DHIS2 Tracker is commonly used. So we have two uses of the term eRegistry. The first, I would describe as something like :

  • A system used for reporting all cases of a specific disease/health condition within a jurisdiction for programmatic monitoring purposes at the central level

The second, which is where WHO has started using ‘digital client record’ to help disambiguate, is something like

  • A system used by providers during the provision of care for the management of client information related to a specific disease or health condition within a care plan at the facility or community level

I (mostly) agree with Carl here.

  • Solid lines rather than dotted.
  • I don’t believe that registries or other operational components should be lumped in with the “Digital Client Record”. It is very important to differentiate between the SHR (client / patient-centric data) and other data that is used to make health service delivery
    possible.
  • My preference is “Place of Service” rather than “External Systems”. Bottom row is not meant to be entirely comprehensive but rather representative (deserves a footnote?)

I would also add that having InterLinked Registries as a cog wheel and then showing the registries above could be a bit confusing. The concept of InterLinked Registries is a combination of the registries in the architecture and access
mechanisms (service) that correlate registries to meet business needs. Can we re-label the cog wheel to be “Registry Linking Service”?

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

This is looking great from my perspective. A few minor comments:

  • Metadata and Business should be aligned vertically
  • For those trying to modify the diagram, dotted lines can present a problem - can we switch to a solid line?
  • I am not sure that I can accurately explain the distinction between mobile system and EMR, and that this distinction is significant enough to call out in the diagram. Maybe we can combine them? Also, see attached icon that I have been
    using Noting that the WHO is using the language ‘Digiital Client Record’ to include both EMRs and what have been called eRegisters and eRegistries. This really goes back to the discussion as to what exactly goes
    in the bottom row - are they type of systems by business domain, are they places of service. Looking at the rest of the row it seems more about the type.of system.
  • On all our assets under ohie.net and wiki.ohie.net we
    jump back and forth between External System and PoService where P is either Point of Place. It would be great to settle on one term and update these pages. Not withstanding the unfortunate acronym, I have to admit a preference for PoS. External System could
    create confusion in particular as we interface with other back end systems. For example if we utilize an eGovernment system such as mobile payment gateway or SMS flow engine as part of our infrastructure, it would be external to the HIE, but would not in
    my mind be “below the line.”

Thank you all for your input on the OHIE architecture diagram over the last few days. We have taken your feedback and made minor changes to the diagram, see attached. Please take a look at the revised diagram and remember (as Shaun put
it), “consider whether this diagram achieves the goal of providing an overarching sense of the OpenHIE architecture, with the expectation that there is much more detail underneath to be unpacked through exploration of the particular real-world needs.”

Couple other things to think about. One, the UHC community had a call today and discussed their roadmap for the next 12 months. They plan to take a look at how the UHC could be represented in the diagram in the future (fall 2019). Two,
we recognize that the diagram will need to be flexible to support unique implementer needs and we are working on a way in which the community can create customizable diagrams using movable icons.

ACTION ITEM: Process to gain consensus will be the same as before. We ask that members
of the Architecture Review Board
take a look at this latest version and simply reply to this email as to whether they ‘Agree’ or ‘Disagree’ with the diagram. If anyone
disagrees with what they see or do not see please provide some reasoning around why.

Please respond by EOD Friday, June 14

HI Jennifer,

We are bringing this to light (all be it a little slowly) so I heed the comments here and I think we will need to know where things are going to plug in – but in short I don’t think we have a “diagram” that we “just haven’t sent in for
approval yet” and we still need to build it. We are working on roadmap tomorrow and will add this to the conversation – I don’t think we need to hold on us for now. Once we have the “pattern” for OpenHIE we can easily do an interim update would be my option.

Is the insurance team working on what they need from an architecture perspective?

Hi all,

I must admit to be slightly confused as to the “doing one at a time” vs “all at once.” In the first diagram, we have an SHR, an HMIS and an LMIS in the set of components, and then have things like a PR in the metadata registries. Are
we saying that health financing will be added into the main diagram or we will generate a new diagram for it specifically?

Also noting that the HMIS may also need some other components that are not reflected here such as an indicator registry (flagging for @James K) or a perhaps more broadly a knowledge repository:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/capabilitystatement-knowledge-repository.html

Knowing that decisions on what’s needed for each community may yet need to be done, I had thought we were first creating the framework for the diagrams for each business domain.

Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, I remember those calls. I also know that there is a huge overlap with the insurance registries and repositories and our existing care-focused HIE assets (please see below).

I didn’t realize our strategy was to do each one as a separate iteration. Thanks for clarifying that.

I still favour some diagrammatic approach that will illustrate the “loose-coupling” of separate domains to our HIE. I’m sorry to have missed yesterday’s call. Did that idea come up, at all? It certainly has been an aspect of discussion
during our SCM community calls.

Warmest regards,

We spent at least one or two calls adding the supply chain icons to the diagram. The insurance community has not yet discussed architecture diagram changes. We will add theirs when they are ready.

I agree that we should be clear about what the boxes/groupings represent and consistent in the labeling. I also am surprised to see logistics explicitly referenced but health financing notably missing. Regarding this point, I would very
much like to see some indication in our diagram that there are complementary domains
that are “loosely coupled” to an HIE rather than appearing to indicate that these domains are “part of” an HIE. I’m not sure how we illustrate this… but I do think it is, conceptually, a very important message for us to clearly convey.

Subject: Re: (REVIEW & VOTE) 2019 Architecture Diagram

In previous discussions, those two boxed sections were labelled as ‘Metadata Services’ and ‘Business Domain Services’ (see here )

  • I think it’s worth labelling them in the diagram for clarity.

Has there been consensus on how to scale out the Component Layer systems? It seems we’re promoting a single row, rather than stacking these vertically into several rows (presumably to avoid misperceptions of hierarchy). I don’t see an issue
with this in the current diagram, but wonder if it’s practical as new systems are added to the diagram (e.g. health financing).

There was also discussion on decoupling labels and icons, to allow for a choice on whether to use acronyms/abbreviations. We may still need a ‘default’ diagram though - my vote is for the default to avoid acronyms and spell things out (and
to be consistent e.g. the diagram uses HEALTH MGMT INFO SYSTEMat the top but then HMIS System at
the bottom).

Otherwise I think the diagram does a great job of incorporating the changes discussed in the ARB meetings - I provisionally ‘Agree’ but would like to resolve/clarify these points.

Regards,

Daniel.
