Description | An 'infobutton' is a point-of-care information retrieval application that automatically generates and sends queries to on-line health information resources ('e-resources') using patient data extracted from the electronic medical record and background information ('context') that is captured from the interaction between a clinical user and a clinical information system (e.g., user role, patient age and gender, task being performed by the user). Currently, e-resources typically provide HTTP-based Application Program Interfaces (API) that can be used by infobuttons. However, these APIs are based on proprietary syntax and vocabularies, requiring the development of custom software for each e-resource that an infobutton needs to link to. The goal of this proposal is to facilitate the implementation of infobuttons by supporting the integration between Clinical Information Systems and e-resources. |

Type | Ballot - Normative (no STU) |
Objectives / Deliverables | - In the first phase of this project, the focus will be to support requests from a CIS to e-resources without specifying a return message from e-resources back to a CIS. - The project produced the following deliverables on its first phase: - scenarios (informative) - sequence diagrams (informative) - a list of search parameters that can be part of an infobutton request associated with terminology domains - an XML schema request specification - an URL-based request specification - request examples |

Ballot Cycle Info | 2010 May Ballot Cycle Info: NORMATIVE Ballot results: Ballot results: Met basic vote requirements for approval. 0 Negative votes to reconcile Document Name: HL7 Version 3 Standard: Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval Application (Infobutton); Knowledge Request, Release 1 Ballot Code: V3_INFOBUTTON_R1_N1_2010JAN NIB Submitted By: Guilherme Del Fiol MD 2010 Jan Ballot Cycle Info: NORMATIVE Ballot results: Met basic vote requirements for approval. 13 Negative votes to reconcile Document Name: HL7 Version 3 Standard: Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval (Infobutton); Knowledge Request, Release 1 Ballot Code: V3_INFOBUTTON_R1_N1_2010JAN NIB Submitted By: Kensaku Kawamoto MD PhD Oct 2009: #265 failed to pass the Jan-07 ballot (we had 1 negative vote that refused to withdraw and subsequently failed to pass a recirculation ballot later in Jun-07). #265 passed as a DSTU in Jan 2008 and we are now proceeding to the normative level in the Jan 2010 cycle. Although the Infobutton Standard #265 became officially a DSTU only in Sep 2009, it was balloted back in Jan 2008, so we've been unofficially in DSTU mode for almost 2 years now and we have had enough industry feedback to try to go normative. If we succeed, I think we should pull out the DSTU. |
Misc Notes | HL7 Version 3 Standard: Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval Application (Infobutton); Knowledge Request, Release 1 is an active DSTU thru July 21, 2015 Oct 21, 2010 DSTU Expired for: HL7 Version 3 Standard: Context-aware Information Retrieval (Infobutton), Release 1 August 2010: Archiving project. Received ANSI approval. ANSI approval occurred prior to DSTU expiration because there wern't any DSTU comments submitted. May 2010: Changed status from Nomative Reconcile to Normative Notify |
