S&I Simplification Use Case Authoring Tool (UCAT) Introduction

1. S&I SimplificationUse Case Authoring Tool (UCAT)Introduction In collaboration with AHRQ and NIST 27 February 2013

2. Is it in Common? • Is it Re-Usable? • Is it Computable? Simplification/UCAT Intro

3. S&I SimplificationKey Focus Simplification/UCAT Intro

4. Use Case Authoring ToolUCAT Prototype • Based on: NIST SmartGrid Use Case Tools • From S&I: • Simplification Core Matrixv2.3 (.xlsx) • Use Case Requirements Template (.doc) • Lab Results Interface (LRI) Initiative – Completed Template (.doc) Developed by:Art Griesser, Prometheus Computing Simplification/UCAT Intro

6. Use Case Tool Status Demonstration of Concept – Current Capabilities • Imported Core Matrix • Captured use case template structure • Populated completely for LRI • Can construct new use cases from reusable components • Can create human readable use cases (in UC template) • Can curate underlying UC information • Can use underlying info programmatically • SQL query • Export: JSON, E•cel Additional Capabilities • Ability to clone • Scenarios, Events • Ability to track status of information • Component Lifecycle Management Next Steps • Add remaining 14 use cases • One-time manual entry • Resolving differences from template • Refine existing master template • USHIK integration • Handoff to downstream tools • Implementation Guide, Testing… Simplification/UCAT Intro

8. Cross Initiative – S&I Simplification – “Core” ValuesIntroduction • Use Cases resolve to a set of common Components in the S&I Core Simplification Matrix (CSM). This permits: • Drilling down to Event/Action and Data Concepts and their representations • Re-Use of Components • Components can be compared across Use Cases • New Use Cases can borrow Components (be derived) from existing Use Cases • Existing Use Cases can harmonize their Components, if desired DRAFT - S&I Simplification - "Core" Values

9. Cross Initiative – S&I Simplification – “Core” ValuesCore Matrix • Compiles and Distills Components from All S&I Initiatives • For easy reference, organization, comparison • 13 Use Cases with 33 Multi-Step Scenarios • Initiatives: TOC, LCC, LRI, LOI, PD, esMD, QH, DS4P, PHRI, HeD • Conveys Uniform and Integrated Patterns of: • Patient Flow– with Patient as Actor • Provider (Work/Process) Flow– with Provider as Actor • Information Flow– including System as an Actor • Shows: • Event Steps with Actions taken – by Actors in Roles – to support individual health and provide healthcare • Health record entries resulting from Actions taken • Shows Patterns of Repetition/Re-Use • Both Current and Potential DRAFT - S&I Simplification - "Core" Values

12. The Core Simplification Matrix (CSM) Value to the Standards and Interoperability Framework (SIF) • SIF Components from all finalized Use Cases have been compiled in CSM/USHIK: • Components include Requirements (Policy, Business and Infrastructure Assumptions and Conditions), Scenarios, Activities and Flow, Actors and Roles, System Functions, Interoperable Exchanges and Content including Data Objects • The CSM • Encourages new SIF use case teams to undertake an evaluation of previous SIF use cases to determine if they can save time and resources, while promoting uniformity and interoperability, by reusing requirements and vocabulary choices of those previous use cases • Will be extended to define Components with computability characteristics, i.e., requirements mapped to modular solutions, and envisioning a library of reusable core data and software constructs and thus faster development of modular implementation guides resulting in easier adoption by industry • Maximizes the potential for shared, reusable, cross industry modular interoperable implementations DRAFT - S&I Simplification - "Core" Values
