The purpose of the Implementation phase is to define the set of Harmonized Specifications and documentation required to solve the challenge, create the necessary reference implementation using the specifications and plan for operational pilot testing if goals and objectives are still justified.

Phase 1: Evaluate Standards

All Phase 1 deliverables can be found below:

Standards-UCR Crosswalk Working Documents

The Standards-UCR Crosswalk is used to map selected standards from the Standards Evaluation Spreadsheet against Use Case requirements. UC requirements include Information Interchange, System Functions, and Data Requirements. The crosswalk is used to capture gaps in functionality, dependencies between standards and the gap mitigation plans to resolve how to extend or modify existing standards.

Standards Evaluation

Guidance Areas

Standards Evaluation Documents

The Standards Evaluation Spreadsheet is a tool for objective evaluation of standards from the Candidate Standards List across a matrix of various benchmarks. Standards are evaluated and reviewed by the community for “Maturity”, and “Adoptability”. The former two are based off of the HITSC NwHIN recommendations for standards evaluation. The standards with higher scores are carried into the UCR-Standards Crosswalk for evaluation against SDC requirements.

Maturity vs. Adoptability Graphs

Candidate Standards List and Solution Diagram

The Candidate Standards List is meant to serve as a launching point for Standards & Harmonization activities by capturing a list of standards to be carried into standards evaluation.
The solution diagram is a visualization of how the types of standards can map to the transactions identified in the Use Case.

• The updated Solution Diagram is posted below. Feedback is closed as of COB 5/14 - thank you for your input!
