Overview Overview

...

Objective

...

The objective of the first pan-Canadian Projectathon is to test and improve the quality of the pan-Canadian Patient Summary Interoperability Specifications (PS-CA Specifications) to ensure they are implementable, testable and meet expectations. The aims of the Projectathon are to identify potential issues in the basic specifications, give implementers a chance to test their implementations in live environments, and strengthen implementation guidelines and standards in the health sector.

...

A suite of virtual tools, collectively referred to as Gazelle, will be deployed to support a free, 3-day remote testing event in from March 21-23 2022. Gazelle provides jurisdictions and vendors an opportunity to validate the role they will be playing in an ecosystem and ensure they are able to satisfy the interoperability requirements. Furthermore, Gazelle offers several self-serve, self-test and innovation opportunities for jurisdictions and vendors to test their alignment to the represented integration profiles.

...


In addition to the PS-CA Interoperability Bundle, you may wish to review this diagram which provides a high-level view of relevant Integration Profiles to support the PS-CA project. This view contains a superset of profiles that offer alternatives to exchanging Patient Summaries, depending on Jurisdictional service type and availability. Mandatory and optional capability support is described in the sequence diagrams associated with each Use Case analysis.

Pre-Projectathon Preparations

...

For successful participation in the Projectathon, pre-Projectathon tests and connectivity tests are important. 

The purpose of the Pre-Projectathon tests are to help vendors: 

  • Test their IHE profile implementation in their system using the virtual systems in Gazelle (simulators) to find and fix issues;

  • Improve the quality of their tests prior to the Projectathon; and

  • Help to familiarize themselves the with the Gazelle tool prior to the Projectathon, including how to access and use Gazelle simulators to perform the tests.

The Pre-Projectathon Tests Period Test period will be open from February 14 - March 11, 2022.  

Pre-Projectathon Tests Webinar

A Pre-Projectathon Tests Test webinar will be held on February 14, 2022. During this webinar, participants will be shown how to access and use Gazelle in order to perform the tests. The profiles that will be tested during the Projectathon are:

In addition to the pre-Projectathon tests, there will be a Connectivity Testing period between February 25 - March 11, 2022. The purpose of the Connectivity Testing Period period is to check, in advance, whether participants' systems are configured and ready to communicate with other vendor systems during the Projectathon event. The Connectivity Testing Period will be open from February 25 - March 11, 2022.
