The objective of the first pan-Canadian Projectathon is was 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 document repository.
The aims of the Projectathon are were 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.
...
Vendors and jurisdictions who are planning planned to implement the PS-CA Specifications are were invited to participate in the Projectathon. In addition, any interested party that has Patient Summaries in their future roadmap are were welcome to participate.
By participating in Participants of the Projectathon , you willwere able to:
- Have the opportunity to be an early adopter and an influencer of the final specification;
- Gain a better understanding of the expected integration patterns for your their products;
- Identify dependencies and integration challenges;
- Interact with the jurisdictional teams that will ultimately use your their products;
- Ensure quality for the benefit of clinicians and patients;
- Accelerate your their readiness for implementation;
- Save time and money through a harmonized pan-Canadian approach;
- Get familiar with the validation/testing processes and tools; and
- Help achieve our collective goals of developing a quality national standard.
Additionally, through participation in the Projectathon, participants can were able to prepare for practical applications of the PS-CA Specifications.

A suite of virtual tools, collectively referred to as Gazelle, will be were deployed to support athe free, 3-day remote testing event from March 21-23, 2022. Gazelle provides 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 was organized by Infoway with support from a world leader organization in the space - IHE Catalyst.
...
In preparation for the Projectathon, Infoway and IHE Catalyst will:
- Host Hosted training webinars;
- Develop Developed a FHIR document viewer;
- Deploy Deployed an OpenAPI browser for both interface specifications (MHD and CA:FeX);
- Develop Developed clinical scenarios that will identify identified the required test data for the Projectathon;
- Offer Offered helpdesk support prior to and during the Projectathon; and
- Publish Published a report on learnings after the Projectathon.
Participants will be were required to:
- Register for the event
- Attend training webinars
- Review training materials
- Complete pre-Projectathon and connectivity testing
- Validate test cases and clinical scenarios
- Integrate to Gazelle platform
- Create test records
- Implement APIs
- Prototype FHIR transactions
- Prototype the PS-CA FHIR document
- Prototype export of FHIR document

In addition to the pre-Projectathon tests, there will be was a Connectivity Testing period between from March 1 - March 11, 2022. The purpose of the a Connectivity Testing period is to check, in advance, whether participants' systems are configured and ready to communicate with other vendor systems during the Projectathon event. A Connectivity Testing webinar will be was held on March 1, 2022 at 11AM ET.
...
- An OpenAPI User Interface for the PS-CA APIs, including the MHD and the CA:FeX options
- A PS-CA FHIR Renderer used to visualize PS-CA FHIR bundles provided as JSON structured data
A review of these tools will be was presented during the Overview of Tools Webinar on February 25, 2022 at 11AM ET.
