- Interoperability Showcase and Connectathon updates
- ECW, Epic, Medallies, Qvera will participate in Showcase and Connectathon
- Netsmart and Nextgen are still considering the Showcase, will participate in Connectathon
- Allscripts won't be able to participate, but will continue following the progress, and eventually participate in project testing
- How would a 360X-enabled system communicate with a non-360X aware system
- On the initiator side, a 360X-enabled system could send a request package to recipient, without knowing whether the recipient is 360X-capable
- in many cases, an initiator is aware of the capabilities of all of their partners, in which case the initiator only sends a 360X request package to a 360X-capable recipient
- for the cases when the initiator is not aware of the capabilities of the recipient, the following is recommended:
- only non-urgent referrals should be sent using a 360X request package
- there should be a system configuration or a process that would alert the appropriate staff on the initiator's side when an accept or decline is not received within a given time frame.
- initially, the 360X project included the provision to send the C-CDA of the 360X request package as a stand-alone MIME part. This is now considered unnecessary, since the use of XDM has become more wide spread.
- On the recipient side, if a 360X-enabled system receives a Direct message that is not a 360X request package, but represents a referral request, the system should have a way to manually manage the request (for example, as if it was received via a telephone call). there is nothing else the 360X-enabled recipient system is expected to do in such a case.
- On the initiator side, a 360X-enabled system could send a request package to recipient, without knowing whether the recipient is 360X-capable
- Communication infrastructure for Connectahon and Showcase
- There might be issues with using the existing SMTP setup over the Internet, instead of having all network communications locally. We should be prepared to handle this either way.
- Even with proper routing over the Internet, we'll need to account for message delays for the Showcase.
