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 FHIR 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 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 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 three Hosted training webinars;
- Develop Developed a FHIR document viewer;
- Deploy Deployed an OpenAPI browser for both interface specifications (MHD and CA:FeX);
- Work with participants to develop a clinical scenario that will identify Developed clinical scenarios that 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, including completing Terms of Participation
- Attend 3 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
...
Registration

Participants are were required to register for the Projectathon via the Gazelle test platform. The registration period will be was open from January 20 - February 1121, 2022. A registration webinar will be was held on January 20, 2022 at 11AM ET. This This webinar will include included an overview of the:
- Scope of the Projectathon, including profiles and use cases
- Gazelle tool
- Registration in Gazelle
- How the Projectathon will be organized
- Relevant documentation, including specifications and training materials
...
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 familiarize themselves with the Gazelle tool prior to the Projectathon, including how to access and use Gazelle simulators to perform the tests.
The Pre-Projectathon Test period will be was open from February 17 - March 11, 2022. A Pre-Projectathon Test webinar will be was held on February 17, 2022 at 11AM ET. During this webinar, participants will be were shown how to access and use Gazelle in order to perform the tests.

In addition to the pre-Projectathon tests, there will be was a Connectivity Testing period between February 25 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 February 25March 1, 2022 at 11AM ET.

Gazelle Testing Platform
The pan-Canadian Interoperability Gazelle Platform is available at https://pancanadianIO.ca. From the home page, you may access the documentation for various support tools, test tools, and utilities, by clicking on the respective PDF icon.
Testing Tools
To support participants' Pre-Projectathon testing, the following tools were developed:
- 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 was presented during the Overview of Tools Webinar on February 25, 2022 at 11AM ET.
