CORBAmed Roadmap - the Need

• CORBAmed is a large active group,
• Not all members can attend all meetings,
• At times it has been difficult to keep abreast of
  all of the activity.

5
CORBAmed Roadmap - the Need

• We need to co-ordinate our activities
• Identify overlap and redundancy,
• Identify dependencies - enable orderly planning
  of work,
• Co-ordinate CORBAmeds activities in line with
  other Roadmap groups in OMG,
• Ensure that the services specified by CORBAmed
  constitute a coherent whole, enabling them to
  exchange information and support healthcare
  processes in a consistent manner.

6
CORBAmed Roadmap - the Need

• We need to communicate what we are, what we do
• Enable outside organisations to quickly
  assimilate and understand what CORBAmed is
  actually doing on the ground,
• Enable user organisations to bring their
  requirements to bear on CORBAmed,
• Enable suppliers of systems to understand how to
  work with CORBAmed using the adopted specs. and
  contributing to their development.

7
CORBAmed Roadmap - the Need

• In summary, we need
• something that could help to provide some
  clarity, both to existing members and to new
  participants,
• a facility to provide continuity over time,
• a means of establishing the big picture,
• But most of all we need a means to establish our
  Strategic Plans
• .a Roadmap.

8
CORBAmed Roadmap - the Group

• The Roadmap Group considers itself to be all
  CORBAmed sitting as a committee - i.e. its
  natural membership is all of CORBAmed,
• The Roadmap Group has a formally adopted Charter,
• It meets at every OMG TC.

9
CORBAmed Roadmap Charter

• The CORBAmed Health Care System Template (CHST).
• to help to delineate and describe the interfaces
  and interactions between the various logical
  modules in health care systems.
• reference for issuance of future RFIs and RFPs.
• CHST is the property of CORBAmed as a whole.
• Roadmap Working Group facilitates liaison between
  CORBAmed and other OMG groups.

10
CORBAmed Roadmap Charter

• Final Version, agreed by CORBAmed - April 2, 1998
• The major area of Roadmap Working Group
  responsibility is to produce and maintain the
  CORBAmed Health Care System Template (CHST). It
  is a template of health care modules and their
  process interactions. The purpose of the
  template is to delineate and describe the
  interfaces and interactions between the various
  logical modules in health care systems. The
  interactions and interfaces between the modules
  will then serve as a reference against which the
  issuance of future health care related RFIs and
  RFPs can be considered.
• The CHST is the property of the CORBAmed DTF as
  a whole. It is the role of the Roadmap Working
  Group to procure and develop the CHST for
  validation and acceptance by the DTF, and to
  maintain it on behalf of CORBAmed. The group
  acts as the guardian of the CHST in assessing the
  impact of proposed RFIs and RFPs, both in
  CORBAmed and in other Task Forces, in achieving
  the goals of CORBAmed and in evolving the
  template itself.
• One of the missions of the Roadmap Working Group
  will be to facilitate liaison between CORBAmed
  and other groups in the OMG, where there are
  common interests. The RWG will make
  recommendations to DTF chairs on the need for and
  practical means of achieving technical
  interaction, including timetabling, communication
  and feedback.
