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
Standards and Interoperability
Team BZ participated in advancing the capabilities of BPM+ modeling for capturing clinical guidelines on behalf of a government agency at the leading-edge of standards and interoperability work. The team developed three new metamodels and specifications for submission to the Object Management Group (OMG®) and evaluated Model-Driven Message Interoperability (MDMI) for its relationship to these standards.
“By embracing and championing open standards, the community enables healthcare providers to better adopt and apply best practices.” -- Team BZ
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 and 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.”
