 Simplification Progression (DRAFT)

Steps A/B reflect current Simplification analysis and USHIK Component registration process. Steps C and on are anticipated with Use Case Authoring Tool, leading to S&I Harmonization, standards selection, implementation guide selection and/or authoring, test case authoring, as depicted. Four tracks are shown on separate rows in this progression: 1) Use Case to Harmonization to Implementation to Testing; 2) Binding to Standards; 3) Use Case Authoring Tool Requirements, step by step; 4) Two-way Mapping Examples - SDC Actions to EHR System Functions (L to R) and MU EHRS Test Scripts to EHR System Functions (R to L) - based on ISO/HL7 10781 EHR System Functional Model Release 2.
