Kantara HIAWG Teleconference

Date and Time

...

David Thompson: Salesforce is a vector to do more of the patient-centric work. In terms of platform, it’s more accessible to web services and interoperability, innovation, etc.

John Fraser: How are the women in the study using IndivoX, and how does IndivoX plug into Salesforce?

David Thompson: Athena is not running on an IndivoX container yet. We are standardizing the various survey initiatives involved with Athena. We are laying the groundwork for more integration and looking to create common integration layer.

Dazza Greenwood: How does an open patient identity approach work well with an enterprise service like this?

David Thompson: Certainly identity is the key to it all. Patients don’t want to have 55 different logins to different  systems. I think patient identity is a major issue, especially in regards to mobile device integration. As far as integration architecture and how it fits in, you look at master data management strategies. Defining a central, common vector location is critical. A patient-centric view in regards to integration, and identity is a key element of that.

Dazza Greenwood to distribute David's contact information to the group.

John Fraser: Obviously our effort is to build PIDS, and that different PIDS services could trust other PIDS services.

David  Thompson: We do a lot with Shibboleth, it’s sort of a stand across the UC. There would be a lot of potential re-use within the architecture.

Barry Hieb: Have you had interaction with call eConnect?

David Thompson: I have some mutual contacts that are pretty close with them. My feelings on HIEs in general is that they have had a lot of success. I absolutely believe in the future of HIEs but it’s a tough issue. We need the architecture to support it, emanating from within the institutions. My feeling and my interest is to enable HIEs through various pieces of infrastructure.

John Fraser: I’m sensing interest from the group about PIDS initial development being integrated with IndivoX and the Athena study. What are next steps?

David Thompson: we need to find who the stakeholders would be and where the funding would come from. We certainly have a lot of resources available. I love building prototypes where they are designed to move from prototype into production, something that has all the right elements where once it gets buy-in, we can really start moving forward. Once we know what the first version looks like, I can start floating that to potential stakeholders. There are a lot of folks that we can try to bring in as stakeholders who would benefit from open interoperability.
