“for the automated modernization of the European Air Traffic Management System (EATMS)”

Presentation to

OMG Model-Driven Healthcare Day 2015March 25, 2015

Abstract: The VistA family of electronic healthcare records (EHR) systems is widely deployed and highly regarded, but

suffers from issues of legacy maintenance, reliability in data sharing, and streamlined integration. We will present our work in

modernizing the various VistA variants into the Unified integrated Electronic Health Records (UiEHR) system, a conversion

from the legacy Mumps to a running Java system using fully automated MBSE approaches.

Unified iEHR “Push-Button” Conversion from Mumps to

Java Cloud

• The TSRI translation is a 100% push-button conversion. The translated code runs identically to the original. All user interactions, PF keys and other quirky behaviors are preserved.

• No human intervention is required after conversion of the code to hand tune the code. Simply replace MUMPS with the JSE/JEE modules generated by the translator.

• No operator retraining is required. Generated code deployed in private or public data centers as x86 SAAS hosted applications runs a web browser, on laptops or handhelds identically to the original MUMPS.

• Original code and modernized code can interoperate and can be run at the same time. Performance of modernized code is better than MUMPS code, and is elastic and scalable in cloud-based PAAS/IAAS.

• Translation is extremely accurate. Currently, a five sigma rate level of accuracy (less than 1 functional error per 100,000 lines of code translated) has been demonstrated. A seven sigma level of conversion to compilation and linkage has been demonstrated (less than 1 compilation error per 10,000,000 lines of code).

• Conversion of Single Systems of 2.1 to 2.5 Million lines of code in 1 hour 20 min

• Modernized Application database performance is equivalent or better than the original when tested on realistic test data.

• Multiple Systems (e.g FOIA VistA and Astronaut VistA) are unified automatically during a three hour Push-Button conversion process.

• MUMPS can continue programming in MUMPS until they retire, while VistA sites redeploy modernized applications into data centers and into future IT architectures with modernized code and old MUMPS code can operating in parallel until the plug is pulled on the MUMPS.

Unified iEHR Features

Eclipse as IDE for Compilation and Testing

The transformed application is running as Java inside of Eclipse, the most advanced and widely used Interactive Development Environment in existence.

TSRI transforms the 2.2 to 2.5 Million lines of MUMPS in FOIA VistA and Astronaut VistA in a little over an hour for each system.

Eclipse compiles the translated VistA in about 20 minutes.

Testing? Test scripts ‘pass’ for 70% of Meaningful Use Stage 1 Test Scripts for Astronaut as Java.

Isolated and resolved 40 errors during achievement of Meaningful Use Stage 1 to 70% ‘Pass’ Testing.


Converting Mumps to Java. Then it runs ‘like’ Mumps

always has.

Integrated Bug Reporting (using Bugzilla)

Bug reporting is

integrated into the uiEHR

when running in testing

modes

Recordings and

Execution traces can be

attached to the bug

reports to allow easy

replication of errors

Meta data is extracted

during the execution of

the derived Java code to

allow easy replication of

data and identification of

call within a call tree to

the point of error

Bugs can be linked to the

source of error in the

derived UML models of

the transformed systems


This is Java UiEHR!

* Standish Groups estimates total O&M Reductions of 60% to 80% per annum post modernization. Bottom Line: Faster modernization achieves highest level of savings.

“Plan B” – The fastest, most-affordable and least-risk solution for achieving a Joint Unified Modernized iEHRthat leverages already existing DOD and VA technologies into a fully open source, open product line architecture

“Senior Defense Health Agency officials and the Director, Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, reviewed the results of the CRADA and have determined that the CRADA research objectives have been met” – February 11, 2014

22


Plan A – Manual Rewrite

Tried Repeatedly from 2001 to 2011 and

has always failed.

(Worst Option)

Plan B – “Push Button” Conversion Demonstrated Unified VA/MHS iEHR developed by

TSRI under CRADA (at no cost to the government)

and Rapidly Evolve and Unify with VistA –

Available Now

(Clearly The Best Option)

Plan C – COTS Rip and Replace Throw Away Current Systems and Patient

Record. Pay Commercial Vendors $30 Billion

to redevelop EHRs.

(Highly Costly & Deeply Flawed)

10-year development and deployment cycle 1 to 2 year deployment cycle 5 to 7 year Replacement and Redevelopment Cycle

$28 Billion (according to DoD and VA estimates for GAO and OMB)

Estimated $57 Million Total Annual Subscription Fees for 57 hospitals + One Time Enterprise License Fee

$20.7 Billion ( 207 hospitals in the VA and DoD 207 * 100M/each)

Rewrite solution requires 8 years longer than Conversion

According to Standish Group studies modernization reduces O&M by 60%/annum to 80%/annum.

COTS solution requires 4 to 6 years longer than automated conversion

Rewrite incurs $54Billion O&M Costs ($5.4 Billion * 10 years) and $34 Billion in development Costs

Conversion saves $3 Billion to $4 Billion/annum in O&M cost reductions within 2 years at VA and DoD .

COTS incurs $27 Billion ($5.4B * 5 years) to $37.8 Billion ($5.4B * 7 years) in O&M costs and $20.7 Billion for 207 VA and DoD Hospitals

Rewrite Costs $88 Billion Saves $18 Billion to $36 Billion over 6 years (assuming 60% OM reduction) to $36 Billion for 9-years (assuming 80% O&M reduction)

COTS costs $47.7 Billion to $58.5 Billion and can not eliminate existing legacy EHR systems

Technology will be obsolete before it is completed because of rigidity of DoD acquisition cycle for systems of this size and complexity and the length of the development cycle.

Modernize IHS, DoD, VA with single Push-Button Conversion Solution. Conversion requires 1 hour processing time. 20 minutes to compile-ready.

EPIC, Cerner and McKesson are proprietary technologies. EPIC is written in 25 million lines of obsolete 32-bit VB6, a language for which Microsoft ended support in 2005, and extended support ended in 2008.

Success Rate is 4% Average overrun rate is 44%

Industry Average success rate 53% (TSRI 100%)Average overrun is 34% (TSRI < 5% overrun)

Success Rate is 34%. Average schedule overrun is 47%

Architecture will be out dated by the time construction is completed

Open architecture cloud-based SAAS and associated HW and Platform benefits.

COTS LOCK will compromise VA and DoD with proprietary obsolete iEHR architectures

KBSE in Healthcare IT – UiEHR Case Study Key Points

The Unified integrated Electronic Health Record (UiEHR) is an open

architecture fully automated modernization solution for healthcare that

achieves seamless real-time interoperability and data interchange of the

longitudinal patient record while meeting all applicable DoD open architecture,

DODAF standards, and software quality assurance requirements.

UiEHR is achieved by a perfect fidelity (non-distortive) cross-compiler that

transforms MUMPS code into high performance Java/JEE at a rate of 2.5 Million

lines-of-code per hour.

The unified design and architecture iEHR is extracted into a

TransformationBlueprint® and its model driven design is export into

MagicDraw® for forward evolution using tools that adhere to OMG standards.

In 2011, a CRADA was engaged with DoD and VA to auto-convert TC2 and VistA

into a unified operational SaaS. On 2-11-2014 senior officials from the DoD and

TATRC and VA, having witnessed the UiEHR, declared that the CRADA had

successfully accomplished this goal.

The UiEHR is presented and its strategic alignment with KBSE will be

discussed.

Top Ten Reasons Modernization Projects Succeed!!

1. Modernization projects are mechanical and suited for contemporary IT organizations and the state of their project management capabilities.

2. Modernization projects avoid the harder project management activities such as gathering user requirements and receiving the executive attention that new development projects necessitate.

3. Modernization projects also avoid the gap analysis, user retraining, process changes, code modifications, and user rejections that package applications endure.

4. With application modernization projects, user training is very minimal and generally there are no modifications. Further, users are generally more receptive because their methods and processes are not disrupted.

5. The objectives of modernization projects are clearly stated and easily measured. Scope is contained to migration and testing followed by enhancement and testing.

6. They lack the Top Three Reasons for project failure: Lack of user involvement - Lack of executive support - Lack of clear business objectives.

7. Migration phase are mostly mechanical activities including code conversion, data source conversion, refactoring, rehosting, quality control, and testing. There are few decisions required, and those are focused on the mechanics and technical areas.

8. Enhancement activities include: improving the user experience, replacing small modules, integrating open source, improving security, and other components.

9. Most notable are the activities that are not performed, such as requirements documentation and user involvement, executive sponsorship, steering committee meetings, stakeholder meetings, user training, and hundreds of other time-consuming details.

10. Common success factors include project management expertise, technical skills risk, and financial management.

There are generally two phases to modernization projects: Migration followed by Enhancement.

And A Few Reasons Why They Sometimes Fail: Overreaching - Commencing Enhancement Phase Too Soon – Poor Project Governance – Taking False Economies – Overzealousness about Tools – Misunderstanding Tool/Service Provider Capabilities - Expectations Misalignment With Goals.
