Summary

Sprint status is excellent. The Product Team had prioritized the following themes and tasks for Sprint 152 comprising 23 points  - 

  • Partner and Community support
    –  Forum discussions
    –  Support for the Federal Agencies
    –  Community support
  • X12 Audit Research and Design
    –  Complete requirements and design
    –  Create updated version for the NwHIN CAQH Core spec to include agreed upon changes with CMS.
  • Gateway Properties Refinement and Demonstration
    – Complete testing
  • Technical Stories
    –  Update CONNECT to use CXF unbundled libraries
    –  HIMSS demo use case prep

The team completed 30 points this sprint. Planning for the HIMSS demo is underway and the team came up with ideas for the demonstration. A POC client for Healthcare Provider Directories was created with basic functionality to query any HPD server for provider information using a simple search. The team did an in-depth testing to validate both the gateway configuration enhancement as well as the technical story related to the unbundling of CXF jars.

Sprint Themes and related tickets for Sprint 152:

 

Partner and Community Support

  • The team continued to support the community via the CONNECT forum.

CONNECT Development

  • Created Healthcare Provider Directory client as a plug-in to query any HPD server with simple queries to validate understanding of the HPD.
    • Source code can be found in the plug-in folder.

  • Switched from CXF-bundle to individual CXF jars on all application servers to avoid dependency conflicts and lessen the CONNECT footprint.

    • This was validated on all application servers by conducting installation, regression and interoperability tests to ensure no impacts to functionality or installation.

  • Nightly build was updated to include automated outbound Direct test that was created last sprint. 

  • Team also researched how an inbound Direct test could be integrated into the automated build process.
  • Team discussed HIMSS demo use case which would be utilizing CONNECT adapters with FHIR integration to demonstrate PD,QD,RD workflow between two gateway systems.  
  • The FHIR adapters will be included for the Patient Discovery, Document Query, and Document Retrieve services.  
  • The adapters will act as proxies and data transformers into a FHIR capable server.  In order to show integration into any FHIR capable server, we will use an open available web tool as our backend FHIR server.  

  • Fixed issue related to Event table eventtime field not getting populated in Oracle DB (see CONN-1598 for more information)

  • Researched tools for System Administration Module automation to improve efficiency and productivity of testing. Currently this GUI module is tested manually. With improved level of automation and re-usability in individual test cases as well as in overall test environments the quality of application can be greatly enhanced.
    • Researched Watir/Cucumber and Selenium webdrivers. The team will pick one of these tools for future automated tests.
  • Successfully deployed CONNECT on WildFly
    • More information can be found here - WildFly 8
  • Updated CONNECT Readme  - https://github.com/CONNECT-Solution/CONNECT/blob/CONNECT_integration/README.md

Admin GUI Gateway configuration updates

 

  • Updated documentation(System Administration manual and associated test cases).
  • Minor enhancements made to the style for the gateway configuration page.
  • Fixed issue where the logged in user was not being displayed post gateway configuration enhancement.
  • Tested the feature on all application servers.


X12 service enhancements
