In order to accomplish this task of providing an implementation infrastructure for healthcare software, the committee has agreed to produce the five items described below. This document describes the implementation details. It will be used as reference material for a vendor that would like to provide an ActiveX implementation of its product. It will describe in detail error handling, security, and other details. This is a set of ActiveX software that is essentially a shell.
Vendors can then implement the details according to their software.
This is a small sample ActiveX server and client that uses a portion of the specification and that retrieves its data from the sample data set. This is a small database that contains sample data to be used by the sample code. It will also contain data that could be used by a vendor to validate whether it conforms to the specifications. This is a document that will describe the certification requirements that each product will be tested against. Once these items have been produced, the Microsoft Healthcare Users Group will create a certification process that will verify compliance to the specification.
