Consider the Miami Herald article from Saturday, 11 April. This article reports on widespread backlogs in testing and reporting: Link to Herald article (https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241882491.html)
Further, the article gives several hints about how large-scale testing has been implemented locally, in concert with private testing firms.
Write a description of how you think this testing process works
Remember to document any assumptions you make about parts of the process that may not be clearly defined.
For the purposes of this assignment, you can assume that there is a piece of equipment available that can do the following:
Accept batches of bar-coded specimen containers (on the order of 50 or 100 at a time)
Automatically open and test each specimen
When the testing process is complete, the software part of the equipment can report which barcodes have positive, negative, or inconclusive results
Draw an activity model that represents the process you described in response to Q1. Keep your model fairly simple, and represent the main players (both human and technology) responsible for the main steps in the process
Take a screenshot of your model and include this in your submission document OR export your model as a JPG file (following the instructions in the slides), and include this file in your submission.
Yes, you did something like this for Essay 3. Feel free to adapt your Essay 3 model to reflect the way that automated testing works, as described in the Herald article.
Identify all data movement points, and describe each with a brief paragraph
Include a screenshot from your activity model to illustrate.
For each data movement point, build a message design.
First, identify all the data elements you think are important to include.
Then, identify the FHIR resource type(s) that would be useful in transmitting this information to the recipient. Describe briefly why you think these resource types can be applied.
For each message design, there must be a software application on each end for automated messaging to work.
Identify the specific applications that serve as the caller and recipient. Are these existing software applications, with messaging functionality added? or new implementations, purpose-built for this process?
Does the sender have access to all the data needed for the message?
For each physical movement point (e.g., when specimens move), identify how this process works. Is there data associated with the specimens? If so, how is this data transferred?
