Concept
• Drive EHR advancement towards an Open Source Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Environment (Ecosystem) that will enable the development of loosely coupled integrated solutions (such as modernized workflow oriented applications)
• Bring wider community involvement by engaging vendors to support newer technology paradigms
• Certification & Accreditation– Crowd Source Open Source Certification

Current SOA Challenges
• Understanding the complex health workflow and business rules environment– Will require close working relationship with provider
organization personnel
• Understanding the benefits derived from true SOA implementations (open interface agreements)
• Funding a disruptive technology• Engage and excite the community to contribute• Completing work-segments within 12-18 months in
order to keep momentum. 3
Vision: To-Be Architecture

Benefits• Enables:– Operational and Maintenance efficiencies– Open clinician work flow strategies– Plug and Play Innovation– Seamless Integration of applications– Evolving data and security strategies
• Eco friendly solution – flexible and green• Intelligent, robust business capabilities (rules)– Support concepts like Chaos factors (to ensure
scalability).7
Assumptions/Risks
• Keep the project team(s) small (4-6 members)• Lower barrier to engage• At least one provider organization participate
in the project– DoD, VA, NHS, Mayo etc.
• Funding in the form of grants, in-kind labor etc. be realized within 60 days of project start
Next Steps
• Create Consortium of Partners• Develop Project Plan • Establish OHT Charter
“an EHR Ecosystem”a green solution to the future of EHR
