The purpose of the Discovery phase is to identify the use cases and user stories for the Initiative. Interoperability gaps, costs and barriers are identified and defined to further refine the Initiative. Feasibility tests and prototypes are done using relevant models and standards to determine potential approaches to solve the challenges outlined. The information accumulated and the lessons learned through the Discovery phase will jump-start the next phase and also provide the necessary details to determine if the Initiative needs to continue. Learn more about the S&I Initiative Phases and Outputs.====== =Initiative Phase - Use Case (Discovery)= The Use Case is the foundation for identifying and specifying the standards required to support the data exchange, reference implementations and tools to ensure consistent and reliable adoption of the data exchange standards. It gives the contextual background of why the Initiative is necessary, in a narrative format, and explains the benefits it will provide upon completion. The Use Case describes detailed Scenarios and User Stories, which serve as examples of how the enhanced technical capabilities will improve the task at hand. The scenarios are accompanied by various diagrams, providing pictorial representations of the processes, and displaying the actors involved as well as the sequence of the information exchange.
