Steering Division | Infrastructure |
Description | This project will provide a vendor-agnostic Health Services Platform (HSP) Marketplace specification for publication, curation, discovery, and distribution of interoperable service implementations. This specification will be completely agnostic to programming language/frameworks, database, and I/O technologies, as well as account for SMART-on-FHIR client applications that require on-site deployment. Existing work by HSPC and ASU will be brought in to HL7 to formalize and steward the specification itself. Deliverables include:
1. REST JSON API (Representation State Transfer JavaScript Object Notation Application Programming Interface) and platform-independent model (PIM) of specified objects, fully compatible with the OAuth 2-based nature of SMART-on-FHIR. 2. Exemplar HSPC reference implementation of the Marketplace Service and Web UI/Client. The reference implementation will be supporting material, not directly part of the balloted standard. 3. Reference database schema for relational database management systems. |

Project Intent | Create New Standard |
Project Need | The Health Services Marketplace addresses the problem of exchanging backend service implementations in a vendor-neutral manner, which is necessary to exchange executable artifacts interoperably to plug-n-play across SOAs. In broad strokes, it is the server-side equivalent of SMART-on-FHIR (SoF), as SoF only concerns client-side app integration and also does not address client-side deployment requirements of web applications, not uncommon in health IT (HIT) enterprise. The design principles are inspired by the business processes that made other computing ecosystems, such as the (all proprietary) Apple, Google, and Amazon app stores successful. This allows: - HIT orgs to search for new services across 'all' participating vendors, and deploy them in a 100% automated fashion into on-prem, cloud, and/or hybrid infrastructure, using 1 or more Marketplace instances in any public/private combination. - Developers to directly submit new (and update existing) service builds. - Marketplace operators to curate, review, and publish vendor submissions. - Compliance validators to automate certification activities. - All parties to optionally authenticate with existing SSO credentials needed for SoF apps/architectures. |
