Note from Ken Rubin, HSSP Project Co-Chair At about 11:30am EST, the OMG Domain Task Force voted to issue Requests for Proposals for both the Entity Identification Service (EIS) and Retrieve, Locate, Update Service (RLUS) specifications. Until today, the notion of developing Service Functional Models in HL7 and transforming them into technical RFP's to be issued to industry was just a destination to which we have been diligently working towards for a year (with prework having begun far before then). On March 31st, 2007, "Letters of Intent" are due to the OMG indicating companies and product vendors that will develop both technical specifications and ultimately implementations of software (either open source, reference implementations, or products). [We're planning to have one quarter dedicated to each RFP and how you may participate in a submission at HL7 in San Diego in January]. I'm already aware of companies that are exploring joining forces to collaborate as part of a joint submission team. I'd like to take a moment in particular to thank and congratulate Alan Honey and John Koisch, whom have been championing these specifications not only within HL7, but within the OMG community as well. Additional thanks to Barbara Eckman, Scott Robertson, Craig Bennett, Virinder Batra, and all of the other individuals that have contributed their time and efforts in making these quality specifications. Also, our thanks to the countless folks who took time to provide ballot feedback on the Service Functional Models, and those who contributed on teleconferences and the list on these specifications. The OMG RFP documents are publicly available on the OMG website at: Entity Identification Service (EIS) http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?health/2006-12-01 Retrieve, Locate, Update Service (RLUS): http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?health/2006-12-02 The RFP includes a timeline which hopefully will lead to approved technical specification with reference implementation by end of 2007.
