Tips for Connectathon test review
http://gazelle.ihe.net/content/tips-connectathon-test-review
Strategies for success• Good practice for a two-person team
• Be excellent at gathering evidence in a TI; think now about how you will do that
• Set priorities / assess progress daily / make adjustments
• Top 10 tips are publishedhttp://gazelle.ihe.net/content/10-connectathon-preparation-tips-pros
• Specific goals for Monday…
Monday’s testing priorities• Configure & connect to any tools• Complete Consistent Time test• Content Creators – submit CDA ; C-CDA docs
into gazelle for evaluation• Modalities – submit DICOM samples into gazelle
and Central Archive• Submit your XDM & PDI media• Any other tests labeled “*_Do_This_First” or
“*_Read_This_First”• In general, work on other no-peer tests before
starting peer-to-peer tests
Miscellaneous but important notes• There is no “failure” at the connectathon• Who are valid test partners?• Exceptions to “3-instance” rule• There is no “partial credit” on a test instance• You are required to stay & be a partner even when you
have finished your work• You cannot *start* testing a profile on Friday• Noon on Friday is a dead stop• No results are accepted after noon Friday• No test instances are evaluated after noon Friday
Logistics• Connectathon Week resources pagehttp://gazelle.ihe.net/content/na-connectathon-2015-week-resources
• Testing schedule / access to connectathon floor
• Communication during the week:– PULL method (aka: I need help!)• Now! – come and see us• Not urgent -- send email (expect an evening answer)
– PUSH method: • No verbal announcements to the group• Twice daily news: 9am / 1:30pm
Logistics (cont.)• Registration & Check-in• Connectathon Badge Policies– Online badge registration closes Friday
• Security• Dress Code– Keep it casual and comfortable– Cleveland = Cold
• Accommodations & Travel– Area Parking
• IHE USA Staff is readily available to answer questions!
