Connectathon Project Manager
IHE uses the term Technical Project Manager (TPM) to describe a person who is responsible for the technical management one or both of these items:
- IHE Connectathon
- IHE Domain
The purpose of this page is to provide background and relevant material for the duties of a Connectathon Manager. Domain Manager requirements are described elsewhere.
Conflict of Interest
The Connectathon Manager will be responsible for reporting test results and resolving differences in interpretation of technical standards and process. The Connectathon Project Manager must be free of any conflicts of interest. In the US, the Connectathon Project Managers do not have contracts or other business with participants in the North American or European Connectathons.
Technical Tasks
The Connectathon Manager needs a technical background as described in this section. At both the North American and European Connectathons, the Connectathon Manager also serves as a Domain Manager for a limited set of domains. This allows the Connectathon Manager to perform some of the Connectathon tasks more efficiently. We will call this out in this section.
Pre-Connectathon Tasks
- Work with sponsoring organization to create and submit a Connectathon request to IHE Testing and Tools Committee
- Work with sponsor to determine the IHE domains / profiles to be offered for testing.
- It is acceptable to offer a subset of profile from one domain or to select profiles across domains. This is determined by the objects of the sponsoring organization.
- Work with sponsor to determine registration process (Gazelle).
Connectathon Tasks
Post Connectathon Tasks
- Work with sponsoring organization to create and submit a Connectathon report to the IHE Testing and Tools Committee.
- This also serves as a request to formally publish results in the IHE database.
