Status by end of March 2015
Observed market situation Usage of standards is widely welcome, accepted and also recommended by ehealth Suisse But Required know-how for software vendors is extremely high In-depth knowledge of known standards are often missing Thus, the entry barrier is too high right now Objective: An ehealth Connector should encapsulate as much functionality as possible
The project - spirit Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Give and take Enable interoperability Reduce barriers

The project - architecture
Implementing a CDA Template with MDHT MDHT uses models to generate Application Programming Interface (API) Validators Documentation (Spec., Javadoc) Implementation Example: Available Methods for the PN Object Example: Available Javadoc for the Method PN.addDelimiter() Knowledge you should have RIM, CDA, HL7v3, Clinical Terminology, IHE, UML Modeling, Ecore Modeling, MDD, MDHT Not convenient but mighty
ehealth Connector Convenience API Convenience API Fast results API is very easy to use Recommendation what should be implemented Guidance for application developers Javadoc that explains what you need to know Javadoc in your language Demo application for every template As few expert knowledge as possible Hide the complexity of CDA and MDHT But you can access underlying MDHT Objects at any time Convenient and mighty
The functions of Release 201503
