Daily 'need to know' announcements

The Connectathon venue makes oral announcements impractical.

Seating Assignments

Seating Assignments (PDF)

Seating Assignments (Google Sheet) There are two tabs in this spreadsheet. On the first tab, each cell represents one table with two chairs; table locations are identified by a letter/number, eg T1. The second tab shows seating assignments sorted by Organization. You can use the spreadsheet now for a table location if you need to ship something or order services. Your table location will also be entered in Gazelle before testing. This will show up for you and your partners as you are running tests.

Guidance for Monday's session

We hope you've already reviewed the 10 Connectathon Tips from the Pros.

Monday 8:00-10am is for system set-up and testing.  After 10am, we expect you to perform testing. Here is guidance on goals to accomplish during Monday's testing session:

    • Configure and connect to tools for your profiles.
    • Complete the 5-minute Consistent Time "CT_Client" test
    • Content Creators -- submit CDA/C-CDA docs into the samples area of gazelle for evaluation
    • Modalities/Evidence Creators -- submit DICOM samples into gazelle and the Central Archive
    • Submit media you create to the assigned Monitor -->  give XDM and PDI media to monitor Samantha Neiheisel at table M28.
      • It is good practice to hand a monitor your media rather than just dropping it at the table.
    • Any other tests labeled "*_Do_This_First" or "*_Read_This_First"
    • In general, work on other no-peer tests.
    • Then, move on to peer-to-peer tests.

Ask questions. Get help:

IHE USA staff - Help desk BB3

      • logistics, "I'm lost", shipping...

Network staff - BB1

Tool help - see section below

Dr. Phil - BB2

      • First & last resource for technical support.  Ask me anything.

      • DEV tests, test requirements & grading => support for participants and monitors
      • "I need to drop a profile/actor in PCD"

Assigned partners and assigned patients

For Document Sharing (XD*, XC*, MHD) profiles and ATNA, Connectathon Managers make some assignments to help manage testing.  First-time participants can read an overview of multiple affinity domains at Connectathons here. This section only applies to test systems in those profiles.

See Lynn Felhofer with any questions about these assignments.

Summary

(1) Hosts the Connectathon patients as FHIR Patient Resources. These Patient Resources will be referenced by other Resources that are created/exchanged in peer-to-peer tests .  i.e. you will not reference a copy of this resource that resides on your server or that of your test partner. 

(2) Hosts FHIR Resources that are test data for various IHE Profiles, e.g., mCDS, QEDm, MHD-SDC.

(3) Participants can upload & validate FHIR Resources created by their systems. 

-- -- Instructions are in Connectathon test '*_Resource_Check* for several profiles.

(4) Participants that are FHIR clients will upload a FHIR CapabilityStatement for their test system onto this server, making them available to all participants and monitors.  Instructions are in test '01_DoThis1st_CapabilityStatement'
