- Action Items from Last Call:
[X] Galen: provide FHIM as zipped up model to Ken, for distribution to CDS list
Rational Rose model received
[X] Ken: provide vMR UML DAM as EA file to Galen
[X] Call in 1 week: have working session led by Galen to explore expressing vMR DAM using FHIM style and data types
- Meeting Notes/Discussion Items:
- FHIM provided by Galen in Rationale Software Modeler format (link)
- Most of call centered on discussing how FHIM could be adapted to potentially serve as a basis for the vMR
- e.g., by hiding complexity in a vMR view of the FHIM
- [ ] Galen: will continue pursuing this work based on discussion, for further discussion on call on 7/8 (Th)
- [ ] Ken: will check if someone familiar with the HL7 Pedigree model can provide a walk through during next call
- [ ] Andrew: will make an initial attempt at modeling the HL7 Pedigree model in the FHIM format
- Discussed potential approaches to accessing/manipulating the FHIM
- Rational Software Modeler
- tool used by Galen
- pros: appropriate for task, native format for current models
- cons: expensive license (> $1,000)
- IBM has donated several licenses to HL7 for use by modeling facilitators
- [ ] Ken: will check with tooling work group co-chairs about possibility of obtaining a license for this project
- Enterprise Architect
- pros: inexpensive license, many participants have access, has been used thus far for vMR work
- cons: apparently, there is loss of information translating from the FHIM (e.g., diagrams are lost), due to tool’s apparent problems with UML 2.1 compliance
- conclusion: not ideal tool choice given loss of information
- Eclipse-based modeling tools (e.g., Papyrus)
- pros: available inexpensively, can be used with FHIM without data loss
- [ ] Galen: will check with relevant VHA experts (Shawn Muir, Dave Carlson) to get guidance on how these tools can be used by the project team for working with the FHIM
- Action Items:
- [ ] Galen: will continue pursuing this work based on discussion, for further discussion on call on 7/8 (Th)
- [X] Ken: will check if someone familiar with the HL7 Pedigree model can provide a walk through during next call
Have asked Scott Bolte and Nathan Hulse if they may be able to do this
- [ ] Andrew: will make an initial attempt at modeling the HL7 Pedigree model in the FHIM format
- [ ] Ken: will check with tooling work group co-chairs about possibility of obtaining a license for this project
- [ ] Galen: will check with relevant VHA experts (Shawn Muir, Dave Carlson) to get guidance on how Eclipse-based tools such as Papyrus can be used by the project team for working with the FHIM
