Description | The Ordering Service complements existing SOA services and the SAIF Behavioural Framework (BF) for HL7. It provides a Service Functional Model (SFM) for ordering pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, consult and nutritional services individually or part of an order set. The Ordering Service supports interactive applications utilized by healthcare providers, and service-to-service interactions as might be required by a Clinical Decision Support system. The initial interface specification was developed according to the conventions described at http://hssp.wikispaces.com/HSSPApproach, and balloted in September 2014, published as DSTU February 2015.
Pre-existing conceptual work in topics such as Composite Orders, Laboratory Orders, Nutrition, Medication, or FHIR Order and Prescription resources were leveraged extensively to help document the necessary definitions, descriptions, graphics, and artefacts that are relevant. In keeping with the approach used by the above referenced projects, the Ordering Service distinguished between the order itself and the item requested. The Service Interface Specification provides functional, semantic, and conformance profiles. 2016 PSS update: |

Project Intent | Create New Standard |
Project Need | The existing Service Functional Model identified Order Catalog and Catalog Management interfaces. As the project moved into the OMG RFP logical and physical specification phases of the project, a need was identified to add FHIR capabilities for catalog and master data functionality for lab and pharmacy. The catalog stream of the Ordering Service specification is also tasked with defining a FHIR interface for the service specification. The required close coordination between the FHIR content model efforts and the technical service interface specification effort resulted in the decision to combine the scopes and add the FHIR implementation guide and profile scope to the FHIR physical model scope of the OMG technical specification effort. This project will trial the updated OMG / HL7 / FHIR collaboration process. Additionally, there is a need to provide the ability to manage, federate and publish order, pharmacy and laboratory catalogues on the FHIR platform. |

Lineage | |
Dependancies | This project is intended to interface closely with the OO Composite Order, Lab Order, FHIR, and SAIF modeling efforts, as well as the updated SOA/OMG/FHIR processes. The project timeline is dependent on the assumption that STU 3 resources can support the FHIR requirements. If that does not hold we have to adjust the timelines for the FHIR materials until the next STU becomes available. |

Misc Notes | 2024 Jan: OO WG updated Next Milestone Date and Project End Date. 2021 TSC approved Informative publication request for HL7 Version 3 Specification: Ordering Service Interface, Release 1 – U.S. Realm. 2018 March: TSC approved STU Extension Request for HL7 Version 3 Specification: Ordering Service Interface, Release 1 at TSC Tracker 15595 for one year through March 14, 2019. 2017 May: Added Structured Docs as an interested party. since OO will be profiling one of their resources for the material produced. 2016 December: OO submitted a revised PSS. 2016 October: TSC approved STU extension request for Version 3 Specification: Ordering Service Interface, Release 1 (US Realm at TSC Tracker 12106 through February 18, 2018. Feb 2015: TSC approved DSTU Publication Request of HL7 Version 3 Specification: Ordering Service Interface for 24 months at TSC Tracker 5597 through February 18, 2017 WGM 2015: Publication request submitted during WGM(Met with SOA earlier this week, has gone through the RFP process then move to issue a technical RP. - The team would like to move this with SOA into OMG in May/June timeframe to begin implementation. Earlier may be a challenge, while it may be later. - This part is a SOA project into OMG - so OO now Co-sponsor - Lorraine has the process steps worked out. - Goal for testing - March seems pretty close, June is in Berlin, Germany, so might be challenging - Might aim for September, looking for lessons learned to get as DSTU comments. - Work has been done on a reference implementation that can be used to inform the OMG effort. - No plans for version 2 at this time. SOA would be running this with OO as interested party. First focus on implementation. Sept 2016 - approved application for STU period extension May 2019 - investigate dropping to Informative |
