Assumptions and Dependencies
Usability
The user interface shall be designed for ease-of-use by the designated end-users, shall use terms common to the user's normal business environment, and shall require little to no additional training on the system. Drop down menus, Google-like searches, and tooltips should be used wherever appropriate.
Accessibility
The user interface should be accessible via a web browser.
General Assumptions
Following is a list of basic assumptions:
- Federated Discovery Services: Knowledge Repository Services will be distributable and discoverable in a federated manner
- Security Considerations: services and underlying data will be secured using the caBIG security architecture

Use Case Level Criteria
When designing use cases, it is important to maintain a consistent approach to determining at which level use cases are placed when they are authored. The granularity of the use case directly relates to its implementability, so maintaining a leveling scheme will insure that use cases are implemented, tested, etc. at a consistent level. In alignment with this, we will maintain the following use case leveling criteria:
- Global statement
Example: manage patient's health - Use Case Level 0: most general, high level business process
Example: treat this patient for cancer - Use Case Level 1: next level of business flow, such as inter-department level
Example: treat this patient for cancer by using diagnostics, education, treatments, etc. - Use Case Level 2: specific enough to drive major model dimensions (static/information model, behavioral model, governance model, etc.) and can include some exception conditions
Example: treat this patient for cancer by ordering these lab tests, evaluating the results, customizing a treatment or treatment plan to specifically address concerns - Use Case Level 3: includes details of each exchange of information, as well as assumptions about system boundaries
Example: treat this patient for cancer by ordering these lab tests in the caEHR system
i. find the patient, if new add patient, if not check for update
ii. create request(s) for testing for patient, then evaluate the results,
ii-a. read the faxed copy of the result or
ii-b. receive notification in Provider email that a result is ready for viewing, etc... - Use Case Level 4: project-specific solution for exchanges detailed in use case level-3 (could be MSG, SOA, or both)
Example:Standard Process Flow
1. Provider Refers Patient for Cancer Treatment
2. Provider and Patient have an encounter
3. Provider evaluates Patient's condition, treatment plan, current statistics, requests diagnostics
4. Provider updates treatment plan
5. Patient is treated, outcomes documented
6. Flow returns to any of the above steps or patient is released from cancer treatment
