1.0 Introduction

As an introduction to the HITSP Medication Management Interoperability Specification, this section provides a high level overview of the information sharing scenario enabled by following this specification, provides a document map of the construct relationships for the Interoperability Specification, acknowledges the copyright protections that pertain and provides a list of key reference documents and background material. If you are already familiar with this information, proceed to Section 2.0 Interoperability Requirements.

1.1 Interoperability Specification Overview

This section provides a high level definition of this Interoperability Specification and background information about the underlying Use Case that it is based upon.

The HITSP Medication Management Interoperability Specification describes the information flows, issues and system capabilities that apply to the multiple organizations participating in medication management. It is intended to facilitate access to necessary medication and allergy information for consumers, clinicians, pharmacists, health insurance agencies, inpatient and ambulatory care, etc.

1.2 Interoperability Specification Document Map

Each HITSPInteroperability Specification (IS)is comprised of a suite of constructs that, taken as a whole, define how to integrate and constrain existing standards and specifications to satisfy the requirementsimposed by a given Use Case. ThisIS groups specific actions and actors to describe the relevant context(s) for the use ofHITSP constructs that further identify and constrain standards where necessary. In addition to ISs, there are three other types of HITSP constructs called Transaction Packages (TP), Transactions (T) andComponents (C). The document map depicted in Figure 1-1identifiesthe HITSP constructs used to meet the IS requirements. Implementers should read the documents that describe the constructs depicted in the diagram for their details and specific uses.

1.2.1 List of Constructs

The following table lists and describes the HITSP constructs that are shown in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagram above and are used by the Interoperability Specification. All references to HITSP specifications are to the current and Panel approved Released for Implementation versions of the specifications.
