OMG TECHNICAL MEETING SPECIAL EVENT

Healthcare Interoperability: 'Focus on SOA and Modeling' Workshop and Information Day

Wednesday, June 20, 2012, Cambridge, MA

Hosted by:
OMG's Healthcare Domain Task Force

Sponsored by the OMG Healthcare Domain Task Force, the OMG is pleased to announce the Healthcare Interoperability: 'Focus on SOA and Modeling' Workshop and Information Day. The purpose of the one-day forum will be to present relevant case studies, explore available and emerging standards, and interact with peers from other organizations applying modeling- and SOA-based approaches to health interoperability. The workshop is primarily focused on a healthcare-interested audience, but much of the content presented has applicability into other vertical domains. The sessions will explore how these fundamental building blocks have been constructed and present use-cases on how they can be leveraged. Case studies and examples of open-source implementation will also be included.

Presentation content includes overviews of OMG work such as the Common Terminology Service Release 2 (CTS2), which provides the ability to manage, maintain, and navigate structured terminologies, vocabulary, and ontology in a SOA environment; the Model-Driven Message Interoperability (MDMI) specification focused in formation transfer and transformation, the [US] National Information Exchange Model, and the UPDM specification focused on modeling Enterprise Architecture.

Anyone with interest in these topics is encouraged to attend, and a specific interest in Healthcare is not required.

AGENDA

08:55 - 09:00	OMG Welcome
	Ken Rubin Chief Architect, Federal Healthcare Portfolio HP Enterprise Services
09:00 - 09:45	KEYNOTE PRESENTATION - Solving the Curly Braces Problem: Applying Standards in Real Life
	Dr. Clayton Curtis, M.D., PhD Women's Health Center, VA Boston Healthcare System Health Informatics and VHA-IHS Liaison for Health IT Sharing Veterans Health Administration, Office of Informatics and Analytics This session will cover an initiative by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to design, implement, and evaluate an approach to Clinical Decision Support (CDS) that supported real-life use cases through the coordination of multiple CDS standards. The presentation will focus on the motivation for the effort - to demonstrate that it was possible and viable to leverage existing industry standards to bring off-the-shelf capabilities to bear into a large government-developed clinical software application - and how those standards were effectively leveraged in unison. Attendees should come away with a practical understanding of relevant CDS standards, issues involved in their use, and current efforts to develop a unifying framework for the application of CDS standards to meet business needs.
09:45 - 10:30	hData and the Simplified Health Information Exchange Landscape
	Gerald Beuchelt Project Software Systems Engineer The MITRE Corporation Abstract: hData continues to have significant impact in the landscape for simplified health information exchange. Since its inception in 2009, hData has charted the way for a REST architecture in health IT, simplified data models, and scalable data exchange. This presentation will present the current status of hData standards development and implementation, and highlight the relationship of hData with other recent projects, including IHE mobileHealth and HL7 FHIR.
10:30 - 10:45	Break
10:45 - 11:30	Common Terminology Service Release 2 (CTS2)
	Craig Stancl, B.S. Lead Analyst Programmer, Clinical Informatics Systems Unit Mayo Clinic Harold Solbrig IS Technical Specialist ll Mayo Clinic Terminology Service specification and open source implementation from Mayo Clinic.
11:30 - 12:00	Applying Value and Service Models for Healthcare Innovation
	Verna Allee Founder ValueNet Works Henk de Man Research Director Cordys Arne Berre Chief Scientist SINTEF Fred Cummins Consultant Agile Enterprise Design Analysis of healthcare ecosystems is often process based.  A complementary approach is to use a role based collaboration and service perspective. The emerging VDML (Value Delivery Modeling Language) and the recent SoaML (Service oriented architecture Modeling Language) standards from OMG both uses a role collaboration perspective, for the identification of tangible and intangible value exchanges and for the analysis of service collaboration and service contracts, respectively.  The presentation will provide insights on a new way of looking at the innovation and design of healthcare services with a focus on the creation and exchange of values between participants that interoperate through different roles in a healthcare ecosystem.
12:00 - 13:30	Lunch & Plenary Presentations
13:30 - 14:15	Standards activities on Mobile Health
	Keith W. Boone Standards Architect GE Healthcare This talk will discuss current standards activities in HL7 and IHE around Mobile Health. The session is targeted towards developers of mHealth applications and standards. Upon completion of this session attendees will understand: What activities are going on in IHE and HL7 that are related to Mobile Health How to participate in these activities and where to learn more about them. Where there may be opportunities for OMG to collaborate with these organizations.
14:15 - 14:45	An SOA Approach to Managing a Health Service Provider Directory and its Use in Secure Message Exchange
	Peter Young General Manager Health & Community Services Database Consultants Australia Brian Postlethwaite Solutions Architect Health & Community Services Database Consultants Australia The exchange of secure health information across organization boundaries requires access to a reliable directory of up-to-date healthcare service, and in many cases, individual providers of those services. This presentation shows how an SOA approach to managing a healthcare service directory enables the discovery of information from web portals and clinical applications, in order to facilitate secure information exchange on a state-wide or national level. The presentation will include a demonstration of discovery, and transmission of secure information using the Human Services Directory, now in operation across three states and territories in Australia.
14:45 - 15:15	OMG's Model Driven Message Interoperability (MDMI) Standard in Healthcare
	Ken Lord CEO FireStar Software There is no debate over whether healthcare information should be exchanged. The issue is how the bar can be lowered to enable low cost, high quality information exchange for the entire healthcare community, from the largest to the smallest organization. The Open Standards and Open Source communities have repeatedly proven that the use of standards and open source can drive down costs. This presentation will focus the combination of OMG's Model Driven Message Interoperability Standard (MDMI) and the benefits of Model Driven Architecture. The presentation will present a complete MDA framework for healthcare using OMG and healthcare industry standards design to implementation; starting with an Industry Standard model in UML tools and ending with specific healthcare information being exchanged between two different systems in a runtime environment. There will be a software demonstration.
15:15 - 15:30	Break
15:30 - 16:15	[US] National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) in Healthcare
	Tony Mallia Practice Director Edmond Scientific Company Presenting the role of the NIEM Information Sharing Environment as applied to health, considering the new NIEM Profile for UML.
16:15 - 17:00	UML, UPDM, and CIMI
	Robert Lario Principal Visumpoint Presenting the coverage, challenge points, and alignment between OMG modeling specs and the emerging Clinical Modeling Initiative, Led by OMG.
17:00 - 17:15	Closing Comments
18:00 - 20:00	OMG Technical Meeting Networking Reception
