Standards and Interoperability

On behalf of a government agency, Team BZ brought much needed clarity to the organization by defining requirements, resources, and a consistent interoperability approach that’s proactively aligned with industry interoperability trends and best practices. We leveraged existing operational, definitional, and architectural assets, as well as existing systems capabilities, and supported the transition from a legacy to new EHR system.

“This integral project updated and streamlined the technical and semantic interoperability of information flow across and between the government agency, its partners, and community care service providers.” -- Team BZ

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

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
