EYECARE_Sample_Exchange

Overview

Prior to the Connectathon, it is very beneficial for participants to have access to sample DICOM objects, HL7 messages,CDA documents, etc produced by their test partners' applications.  We use Gazelle as an intermediary to exchange samples.  In Gazelle Test Management, a "sample" is any object or message that an application creates and is used by another application.

This table lists samples from IHE Eye Care domain profiles U-EYECARE, GEE, and EC-Summary.  Beneath the table are instructions for Creators to upload samples into Gazelle prior to the Connectathon, and instructions for Consumers who want to download samples to test in advance of Connectathon.  Note that due to the size of some DICOM objects, we have separate instructions for exchange of DICOM samples.

The deadline for sharing samples is typically 2-3 weeks prior to the Connectathon.  The due date will be announced by the Technical Project Manager.
