2. Talk outline
• Overview of Aduro
• Why develop a reference implementation
• Business value of HieGen
• Explanation of how it would work in terms of
existing business processes
• Benefits in terms of business process
improvements
• Benefits to all HL teams

7. Why develop HieGen
• See working software first
• Understand implementation architecture
and new components upfront
• Profile how much of the standard you
need for your customers
• Get implementation correct the first time
• Reduce integration testing cycles
• Get implementation correct the first time
• Simplify the integration
• Developer first approach – technical leadership
• Improve business processes for integration
• Ensure standard implementation correctness
• Reduce internal friction internal between teams
• Teams who need features for the standard own
and maintain the standard and it’s test cases
• Reduce integration testing cycles
• Reduce HealthLink technical support during
implementation
• Improve overall quality of implementations

9. HieGen Software goals
1. Provide the minimal set of functionality of an EMR system that can help
test the HISO/Aduro specifications
2. Provide a more comprehensive simulation facility to the HealthLink forms
developers and QA to launch multiple forms and provide dynamic features
absent in the SOAPUI web service simulation tool
3. Verify that HISO/Aduro specification is implementable. Hence, it helps to
clarify intent of specification where conformance tests are inadequate
4. Automated tests are accurate and precise for the desired essential
behaviour
5. Core multi-layered interface oriented architecture is completely reusable
and readily customizable to be deployed as an web app and even on Android
6. Continuous integration ready using build scripts. One click deployment
makes it runs on multiple platforms - Mac, Windows and Linux
