CAD FHIR Software Development Collaboration Page

Desired Outcomes:

1. Define the needs for centralization of FHIR App software development and the projects to which these apply

2. Define roles and responsibilities

3. Establish timeline(s)

Agenda

1. Describe the ideal situation – Kathy - 5 min

2. Describe each product and its current stage of development – All – 2 min

3. Review software development model

4. Discuss roles, responsibilities, timeline 35 min

5. Next steps 5 min

Software Development Model (LeeAnn and Andrea to further develop)

Phase 1. Requirements collection - Goal: to gather and document business requirements

• Develop user stories for what you WANT the software to do

• Define types of users and gather feedback from 3-5 of each type, individually via interview. Focus group(s) optional.

• Gather Business Requirements and create a Charter, based on NACHC template and including stakeholders, assumptions, high-level system requirements

Phase 2. Design - Goal: to translate software development requirements into design

• Write Software Requirements Document (see Table 1)

Phase 3. Software development -Goal: To build the actual software

• Done by software development company in consultation with NACHC

• Meet with software company periodically to go down the list of requirements and check off those that are addressed, entertain questions about any that need discussion.

Phase 4. Testing - Goal: To ensure the software meets requirements

• User Acceptance Testing with 3-5 of each type of user, individually via interview. Focus group(s) optional.

Phase 5. Deployment - Goal: To deliver completed software to users

• Work with CAD Comms and users to identify channels and messages

• CAD Comms creates materials and disseminates

Phase 6: Continuous Improvement - Goal: To add, revise, improve functionality per user needs

Andrea and LeeAnne

We each know what the other is thinking for software development process and user acceptance testing.

We have identified any needs/gaps in knowledge (should UAT be designed by or done by a consultant?  HealthFlow does not have this strength).

 Assignment – watch 1-2 videos from Linked in Learning or read a web site that explains the process of UAT.

Possible discussion topics:

• Review Kathy’s comments

• Discuss typical software development process - what we do, what HealthFlow does, where to find information.

• Andrea ask LeeAnn for help with questionnaire

• Discuss learnings from LinkedIn Learning and web research (see notes below)

• Invite Sarah P to talk about what she would do differently and critique the plan?

 Andrea’s notes and thoughts prompted by Linked In Learning

1. There is a standard software development process. HealthFlow takes direction from us, but we are not equipped, experienced, or using a traditional software development process on our end. Example of STEVE (State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events) -I managed a major overhaul and was guided through the process by the software developers. There is a whole process starting with requirements gathering. LeeAnn dis-covered that in her thinking process, i.e., asking potential users what they want rather than starting with what we think they need.

2. Agile vs Waterfall

Establish requirements now (Source 2)

Establish acceptance criteria (Source 2)

Phase 1. Requirement collection - Goal: to gather and document business requirements

• Develop user stories for what you WANT the software to do

• Gather requirements (there is an entire field on this - and a format for requirements that makes it easy to communicate to the software developers)

Phase 2. Design - Goal: to translate software development requirements into design

Phase 3. Software development -Goal: To build the actual software

Phase 4. Testing - Goal: To ensure the software meets requirements

Phase 5. Deployment - Goal: To deliver completed software to users

Document

LeeAnn is developing an app for Opioid care plan app.

We are doing software development for three projects:

• AIM care plan app - 1 out of 15 sites is using the app.

•  Opioid Care plan

•  CAI HIV Care plan app
