Purpose of the Release notes
These Release Notes release notes provide a high level summary of the changes made to the pan-Canadian HL7 v3 artifacts in support of the CeRx 4.4 release. A detailed description of all of the changes can be found in the corresponding Change Log (SC-3004-EN - Change File – CeRx 4.4 - 20131212). Separate Terminology Release Notes and a Terminology Change Log are also available for this release.

The CeRx 4.4 Release is a planned release to address enhancements and technical corrections identified by pan-Canadian Stakeholders, as well as to upgrade the standard to align with updated versions of terminology (e.g. SNOMED CT and LOINC). It was developed in tandem with Maintenance Release 02.05 (MR 02.05). This release was developed from a baseline of CeRx 4.3 Hotfix 3.
This release also marks an important milestone in the evolution of the development environment employed for creating our future maintenance releases. The new paradigm reflects a strong Model Interchange Format (MIF) focus where the MIF is viewed as a self-documenting source of all truth, all other artifacts (e.g. graphical rendering of the MIF, html relationship models, “doc” rendering for business views, etc.) being viewed as derivatives created by the appropriate rendering plugins. This paradigm, while not fully realized yet, promises a more complete, agile, integrated ecosystem allowing public access to the same tools that generated the release and are unambiguously maintained by the Standards Collaborative.
Following this transition point, the Standards Collaborative will progressively move away from using the V3 Generator suite of tools to using Remixer as a development platform.
For the purposes of business continuity and quality control, the current release has been developed using both avenues, the V3Generator suite of tools as well as the Remixer suite of tools. The go forward strategy for the maintenance activities

associated with the pan-Canadian HL7 v3 space is the use of Remixer and a reduction of released artifacts to only those serving as the source of truth, all other artifact generation being relegated to plugins. A decision on this final list of deliverables has not yet been made and is expected to be developed in consultation with the public in early 2014, following the two pan-Canadian releases (CeRx 4.4 and MR 02.05).
Following the above reasoning, messaging RFCs contained in this release were developed using both HL7 V3 tools and Remixer and the resulting Model Interchange Format (MIF) files were compared to ensure that they were equivalent. The MIF v2 files from both tools have been published with this release, and the Remixer MIFs have been identified as beta. We strongly encourage stakeholders to use the Remixer MIFs and to identify any issues encountered while using these MIFs to the Standards Collaborative.

Release Notes, Terminology Release Notes, a Change Log and a Terminology Change Log | |
This is a zip of the entire CeRx 4.4 Release | |
The purpose of these documents is to provide implementation, compliance and conformance guidelines for use in developing software that conforms to the pan-Canadian HL7 v3 Message and Terminology Specifications developed through the Standards Collaborative governance process. | |
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance and background information on the overall CeRx query framework by defining the various query models, associated required query parameters and, details of the information returned in the query response of each of the available transactions in the CeRx Standard. | |
SC-3002-EN_-_Data_Type_Specification_-_CeRx4.4_-_20131212.zip | General guidance and specifications on data type usage. |
MTW is an artifact that specifies the pan-Canadian terminologies developed to support the electronic communication in pan-Canadian standards. | |
| SC-3004-EN - DEFN=XX=VO=CeRx4.4 - 20131212.zip | Vocabulary MIFs represent the MTW in a computable format which allows computer systems to consume the content. |
SC-3004-EN - Terminology Reference to Message Models - MR02.05 - 20131212 | This file provides information on linkage from concept domains and value sets contained in the Master Terminology Worksheet to where they are referenced in the model attributes within the pan-Canadian static models included in this release. A XML editor/viewing is strongly recommended to be used when viewing this information. |
SC-2001-EN_Scope_&_Tracking_Framework_-_CeRx4.4_-_20131212.xls | This spreadsheet is a pivotal document in that it ties together the scope of the pan-Canadian HL7 v3 Specifications from a transaction perspective, through to interactions and finally to messages. |
SC-2003-EN_-_Models_-_MIFv2_Remixer_Beta_-_CeRx4.4_-_20131212.zip | This file contains message models in MIF(Model Interchange Format) version 2 format. These files have been generated from Remixer, our new HL7 messaging development tool. These MIFs are considered beta for this release, but the goal is to only publish Remixer MIFs in future releases. |
This file contains message models in MIF(Model Interchange Format) version 1 format generated from the V3 generator legacy tools. | |
