Questions for Considerations
toc The table below represents the series of questions that the SWG would like to address through the presentations by the C2C Subject Matter Experts. These questions will ultimately help shape the end deliverable of this SWG. This table was shared with the community during the 12/13 meeting as an initial list of suggested questions. Please use the Discussion Tab to provide your thoughts and feedback on any new additions or suggested edits to the current list of questions.

** (Ex. - i2B2, PMN, hQuery) ** || ** Tools ** ** (Ex. RxNav, RELMA, LexEVS) ** || ** Standards ** || • Are there any internal mechanism? • Do you use any external tools? • Are you able to maintain the integrity of the original data in its native form (i.e. data as collected and not modified)? || • How does your tool function? • Are you able to maintain the integrity of the original data in its native form (i.e. data as collected and not modified)? || • How do your standards relate to concept mapping? • Are you able to maintain the integrity of the original data in its native form (i.e. data as collected and not modified)? || • How do you see your framework integrating with the QH Reference Implementation solution? || • How can your tool be leveraged? Are there any external APIs or other interfaces? • How do you see your tool integrating with the QH Reference Implementation solution? || • What infrastructure is necessary to implement / utilize your standard? • How do you see your standard integrating with the QH Reference Implementation solution? || • Can it be easily implemented elsewhere? || • Where does the mapping occur? Is it at the Data Source level? Or at the Information Requestor level? Or Both? <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">• Can it be easily implemented elsewhere? || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">• Where does the mapping occur?

 * || ** Frameworks **
 * ** Overview and Current Status ** || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">• How do you define concept mapping within your system (e.g. are you mapping in between standards, or are you mapping from standards to your local data dictionary)?
 * ** Integration and Infrastructure ** || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">• How can you integrate with external tools for mapping? JavaScript library? Java? Web Services API?
 * ** Alignment to Query Health ** || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">• Where does the mapping occur? Is it at the Data Source level? Or at the Information Requestor level? Or Both?
 * ** Maintenance ** || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">• Who maintains your concept mapping tool?
