Planning Committee Checklist

• Yes

• Have all the options been tested successfully at at least one Connectathon?

• Profile does not define any options

• Are there IHE-provided software testing tools to address all aspects of the profile?

• No. However, the profile has been implemented in the field by variety of vendors and proved operational.

• Have the standards underlying the profile been implemented? In similar use cases? In healthcare? In general IT?

• Yes, similar mechanisms using the HTTP-GET requests are currently used in actual implementations.

• (Do you have concrete reason to believe that this works robustly in the Real World) / (Are any products available for purchase that implement the profile?)

• The difference between Real World implementations from the definitions of the profile are only in the names of parameters, however, the existing implementations always provide mechanisms for user authentication that are NOT well addressed by the profile (see CP 364). This may be a significant impediment to actual implementation of the profile as written.

No
