Introduction
...
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 PS-CA supports several implementation patterns including MHD and a new Canadian National integration profile called CA:FeX. The CA:FeX supports saving and retrieving clinical data to and from a central FHIR repository.
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. Infoway views this as a preliminary event before any conformity assessment, quality label or certification process.
Participants
...
Vendors and jurisdictions who are planning to implement the PS-CA Specifications are invited to participate in the Projectathon. In addition, any interested party that has Patient Summaries in their future roadmap are welcome to participate.
...
Additionally, through participation in the Projectathon, participants can prepare for practical applications of the PS-CA Specifications.
Approach
...
A suite of virtual tools, collectively referred to as Gazelle, will be deployed to support a free, 3-day remote testing event 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.
The Projectathon event is organized by Infoway with support from a world leader organization in the space - IHE Catalyst.

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.
