The March 2023 Projectathon will be dedicated to supporting Patient Summary implementation projects across Canada.
On October 17th, 2022, the Specifications package was approved by the Interoperability Executive Table to be adopted and used by jurisdictions and vendors for Trial Implementation.
The PS-CA is based on and is closely aligned to the IPS. It addresses both the content of a well formed Patient Summary document using the FHIR standard version 4.0.1, as well as the exchange mechanisms as listed in the Reference Architecture. Version 1.0.0 TI of the specification package has been updated to offer guidance towards a secure, access-controlled exchange of documents over the internet.
The Specifications package for the Projectathon 2023 includes the:
- pan-Canadian Patient Summary Specifications: PS-CA v1.0.0 TI; and two supporting specifications:
- pan-Canadian FHIR Exchange: CA:FeX v1.0.0 TI
- Reference Architecture: RA v0.1.1 DFT

The Trial Implementation maturity-level designation indicates that a specification is deemed ready for trial implementation in production systems for limited scale projects to meet a health care interoperability need. It has been cycled through public open review periods with jurisdictions and industry partners with all feedback dispositioned, changes incorporated and where appropriate, backlog items identified for a future release. A TI designated specification has been tested and validated, at a Projectathon, where implementers collaborate to test their solutions using methodologies and tools that accelerate interoperability and verify that the specification is deemed ready for trial implementation. Trial implementation is one step closer in the evolution of a final specification, when it is deemed ready for certification. |

The Specifications package for the Projectathon 2023 includes the following:

Testing & Tools Overview
...
Vendors will have an opportunity to test and demonstrate capabilities in two distinct areas of the specification:
- Document format and content
- Secure, exchange transactions
...
Therefore, the Projectathon test cases have been organized into two categories:
|
...
Category 1 |
...
: Test cases that test individual actor capabilities in isolation |
...
E.g., how a system can handle encrypted transactions, how a system can handle a CA:FeX transaction, how a system can handle an OAuth 2 token exchange, etc. |
|
...
Category 2 |
...
: Complex test cases that group individual actor capabilities with other relevant actor capabilities to simulate real world scenarios |
...
. |
...
E.g., how a patient summary creator system can submit the document to a repository by using an OAuth 2 integration, etc. |
Training, Tools & Support Overview
...
Infoway will provide training webinars to support the use of the tools and integrations with the Gazelle test framework. Once registered, vendors will be provided with early access to the Gazelle platform for self / pre-Projectathon testing. In addition to Gazelle, Infoway will provide a number of testing tools, including Simulators, Emulators and Validators to support the exchange patterns listed in the PS-CA specification. A test package will be provided including scenarios for single tests and group testing, along with data set to support document format and content validation for the PS-CA, PS-ON and PS-AB.
