The ITI domain will be using a continuous development process this year, rather than a classic 18 month cycle. This opens up more opportunity for new work item proposals to start and finish at specific points in time over the year. All new work items must still follow the strict governance that IHE has used for 20+ years, the only thing to change is that ITI is more open to start time, and duration. With a continuous development process the ITI committees will be focused more on quality and less focused on meeting a specific calendar deadline.

IHE domains typically only have a single point in time for new work items each year. This leads to the perception that IHE is not responsive, and places strains on our committees, contractors, and communities. The continuous development model allows new work items to be started at any point in the year, provided the committee has bandwidth available. There are now 4 equally spaced face-to-face meetings where milestones can be assessed on all actively developing projects. Any project meeting the milestone quality may progress through one or more milestones at these face-to-face meetings.

Thus at the end of the face-to-face meeting an assessment of available resources will be determined. Based on the available free resources, the ITI Technical Committee will look to the current prioritized backlog of potential new work items.

Now is the time to get your new work item proposals submitted to the ITI Planning committee. The Planning Committee will assist with proper format and focus of the new work item proposal. The new work item proposal needs to focus on defining the Interoperability Problem that needs to be solved. It should not focus on the solution, although it is fine to include a solution proposal. The Planning committee will evaluate the appropriateness of the new work item proposal, and may redirect the proposal to a more appropriate domain or workgroup. Those accepted for ITI will then be prioritized based on the market need. This is the prioritized list that the ITI Technical Committee will use.

New Work Item proposals will be evaluated every month at the monthly ITI Planning Committee meeting:
