Gemini Safe, Effective & Secure Medical Device Interoperability (SES+MDI) (Jira PSS-1980)

Device informatics / interoperability standardization has been progressing in parallel within HL7 Devices, IHE Devices, and IEEE 11073 standards committees. Although these efforts are generally well coordinated, there is an increasing need to ensure strong linkages between the specifications, especially between FHIR and IEEE 11073 SDC (Service-oriented Device Connectivity), which provides a service-oriented device-to-device plug-and-trust architecture. The latter is tailored for the most acute, medical grade device connectivity applications (e.g., operating room and ICU), incorporating medical content reporting, alerting and external control (including closed-loop clinical apps/SAMD). FHIR supports interoperability across the broad landscape of health information exchange, including integration of device-sourced content and services. This project ensures the coordinated and cohesive development of FHIR profiles, extensions and implementation guides, as well as IEEE 11073 SDC-based IHE profiles to enable the next generation of device interoperability standardization.
