Featured Case Studies

Standards and Interoperability

Enabling Repeatable Processes

Standards and Interoperability

Team BZ data modeling experts created a repeatable and effective transformation of Extensible Markup Language (XML) resources to Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) clinical reasoning resources while resolving technical differences between data structures. With the transformation of this content, the government agency’s best practices were preserved for a variety of clinical pathways and content was updated to a format with widespread industry adoption, which increased interoperability and usefulness by the agency and its partners.

“This effort directly enabled Model-driven Architecture (MDA) technologies by enabling repeatable processes to improve results.” -- Team BZ

Broadening Reach for Patient-Centered Care Management

Care Coordination

Leading this community project on behalf of a major government agency, Team BZ included the integrated use of HL7® FHIR® and Object Management Group® Business Process Management for Healthcare (BPM+®) standards in a published Logica implementation guide. Creating a computable representation of clinical guideline recommendations and care pathways enabled this guide to be used by clinicians for evidence-based care recommendations integrated into clinical workflow.

“This project will help scientific evidence reach patient care more efficiently, accurately, and consistently. The Logica Care Management Implementation Guide content will be continuously refactored and expanded based on community member contributions.” -- Team BZ

Interoperability Toolkit

Standards and Interoperability

Successfully used by numerous government agencies and commercial organizations, the interoperability toolkit was led by Team BZ standards and tooling experts. The toolkit includes standards-compliant, open-source industry projects comprised of Model-Driven Message Interoperability (MDMI), Model-Driven Health Tools (MDHT), Model-to-Model Transformation languages (QVT), and Model-Based Transformation Services (MBTS).

“This work will provide APIs and semantic interoperability for legacy and current data, legacy and current industry standards, and the ability to interoperate with future standards and implementations.” -- Team BZ

“Throughout, the BookZurman team made expert recommendations and staffing assignments to a rapidly evolving landscape of cutting-edge standards development activities to achieve revolutionary advancements in electronic health record technology and improved interoperability.”
