InfoScribe: From clinical requirements to specifications
Successful digital health solutions start with clinical requirements, then the necessary business requirements are gathered, which feeds the standards selection process, ultimately pointing to the best standards to use, contributing to the final specification.
InfoScribe is a tool that allows teams to collaboratively create, discuss, and publish at each of these five stages. It comes with a collection of features - such as templates, versioning, PDF export, inline commenting, HL7 Explorer integration, and many more - that improve productivity and accelerate the development of healthcare solutions.

Clinical Requirements describe the information and workflow needs of the clinician for a specific clinical context and clinical data exchange. Using the clinical Interoperability Principles as a guide, a set of requirements expressed in the clinician's voice will provide the foundation for a well-designed interoperability solution.
Business Requirements are derived from clinical requirements and provide a full picture of the solution that needs to be developed. Use cases, business rules and guidance are used to fully outline the solution design.
Standards Selection refers to the process that has been developed to help guide teams through the selection of terminology and messaging standards. Using the line of inquiry and considerations in the forms provided, implementation teams may assess the standards available and determine the best option for the point in time. The process also provides an opportunity for the InfoCentral community to share successful implementation projects, promoting standardization through reuse.
Standards are an integral piece of the interoperability solution, covering both the terminology that defines the data sent, and the messaging structures that define how the data is transferred. The framework provides the access and consideration criteria to the international and Canadian standards to facilitate implementation.
