Problem to be solved

• XDW and the XDW based profiles provide a valuable workflow service, but require systems that support the SOAP and WS-* stack.

• Mobile health devices (browser apps, smartphones, tablets, etc.) do not support the SOAP and WS-* stack. They support the RESTful HTTP stack.

• Mobile health devices are presently unable to take advantage of the XDW and XDW based profiles.

IT Infrastructure CommitteeIT Infrastructure Committee

External Requirements

• The RESTful stack capabilities of mobile devices are limited. The profile must work within those constraints.– This is a common constraint. The MHD profile and efforts in other

standards organizations like HL7 and DICOM are also addressing this constraint.

• This profile must work within the same family of actors and profiles as the current XDW and XDW derived profiles.

Proposed Standards & Systems

• This will be very similar to the MHD profile. The following This will be very similar to the MHD profile. The following issues must be considered:issues must be considered:

• Evaluate whether any extensions to MHD are needed to Evaluate whether any extensions to MHD are needed to deal with issues of updating workflow documents and deal with issues of updating workflow documents and adding supporting documents.

Profile Structure

• This profile will probably be an option to XDW profile to add RESTful transactions.
