<p>Added Roadmap Page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=== Vision ===<br /> The CARE-IT Reference Library aims to become an open, vendor-neutral reference knowledge graph for clinical digital infrastructure.<br /> <br /> Its long-term goal is to provide a shared language for describing clinical capabilities, digital system constellations, governance models and operational responsibilities across healthcare organisations.<br /> <br /> The library will evolve incrementally while maintaining consistency, traceability and interoperability with recognised international standards.<br /> <br /> === Development Roadmap ===<br /> <br /> ==== Phase 1 — Foundation ====<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Status:&#039;&#039;&#039; In Progress<br /> <br /> Establish the methodological and organisational foundations of the library.<br /> <br /> ===== Objectives =====<br /> <br /> * Define the methodology<br /> * Establish the information model<br /> * Define entity types and relationships<br /> * Create governance documentation<br /> * Build the initial platform infrastructure<br /> <br /> ==== Phase 2 — Clinical Capability Library ====<br /> Develop a structured catalogue of clinical capabilities using internationally recognised terminology wherever possible.<br /> <br /> ===== Objectives =====<br /> <br /> * Clinical Domains<br /> * Clinical Capabilities<br /> * SNOMED CT mappings<br /> * Capability hierarchies<br /> * Capability identifiers<br /> <br /> ==== Phase 3 — Clinical Capability Profiles ====<br /> Describe how individual clinical capabilities are realised within healthcare organisations.<br /> <br /> Each profile will document:<br /> <br /> * purpose<br /> * clinical workflow<br /> * participating professional roles<br /> * required information<br /> * supporting digital systems<br /> * interoperability requirements<br /> * governance considerations<br /> * operational dependencies<br /> <br /> ==== Phase 4 — System Constellations ====<br /> Document how clinical capabilities are enabled through interacting digital systems.<br /> <br /> Examples include:<br /> <br /> * Radiology<br /> * Laboratory Medicine<br /> * Intensive Care<br /> * Operating Theatre<br /> * Radiation Oncology<br /> * Medication Management<br /> <br /> Each constellation will describe:<br /> <br /> * participating systems<br /> * medical devices<br /> * applications<br /> * interfaces<br /> * infrastructure dependencies<br /> * operational boundaries<br /> <br /> ==== Phase 5 — Governance Library ====<br /> Create reusable knowledge describing governance of clinical digital infrastructure.<br /> <br /> Topics include:<br /> <br /> * ownership<br /> * lifecycle management<br /> * operational readiness<br /> * architecture governance<br /> * change management<br /> * information governance<br /> * regulatory responsibilities<br /> <br /> ==== Phase 6 — Standards Integration ====<br /> Expand interoperability with international standards.<br /> <br /> Examples include:<br /> <br /> * SNOMED CT<br /> * LOINC<br /> * HL7 FHIR<br /> * openEHR<br /> * IHE<br /> * DICOM<br /> * ISO / IEC standards<br /> <br /> Rather than duplicating these standards, the library will establish explicit semantic relationships between them.<br /> <br /> ==== Phase 7 — Knowledge Graph ====<br /> Transform the library into a fully connected knowledge graph.<br /> <br /> Knowledge objects will become machine-readable and interconnected through explicit relationships, enabling:<br /> <br /> * semantic navigation<br /> * advanced search<br /> * SPARQL queries<br /> * AI-assisted knowledge retrieval<br /> * automated traceability<br /> * architecture analysis<br /> <br /> === Long-term Vision ===<br /> The CARE-IT Reference Library is intended to become a common reference for organisations involved in designing, operating and governing clinical digital infrastructure.<br /> <br /> By connecting clinical capabilities, digital technologies, governance concepts and international standards, the library seeks to improve consistency, interoperability and shared understanding across the healthcare ecosystem.<br /> <br /> === Guiding Principles ===<br /> Throughout its evolution, the library will remain:<br /> <br /> * Vendor-neutral<br /> * Capability-centred<br /> * Standards-based<br /> * Governance-oriented<br /> * Evidence-informed<br /> * Open for collaboration<br /> * Focused on long-term maintainability<br /> <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;The CARE-IT Reference Library is an evolving knowledge resource.&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> New knowledge is added incrementally and reviewed to ensure consistency with the methodology and information model. The emphasis is on quality, interoperability and long-term sustainability rather than rapid growth.</div>
