Registration

Gazelle is used for the Connectathon registration process. The link to gazelle will be open on the week of Novembre 3rd, 2008. We are currently finnishing the tests and are thankful to your patience.

  1. You need to create an account. Gazelle allow more than one user per company. The first one to create the login for a company, is automatically assign the role of company administrator.
  2. Once your account is created and you have provided the information about your company and you can then register systems.
  3. Upon system registration, generate the contract, print it, sign it and send it the connectathon project manager per email and to IHE Europe per surface mail
  4. Invoice will be send upon reception of the contract. First per email, then per surface mail, this to speed processing
  5. Use the Jira bug reporting tool to report any problem you find when using Gazelle. You will need to create an account to report bugs.
[edit]

Thorough / Supportive Testing

The default registration in Gazelle is for thorough testing.

If you want to register for Supportive Testing, you should consult the Image:Supportive thorough testing-2009-2.xls spreadsheet. It lists the profiles to be tested and the procedure for requesting Supportive Testing. After Feb 15th, you can no longer request supportive testing.

You need to have the IHE integration statement of the product you are testing published on your company web page. Please provide that link (link to the integration statement itself, not the link to the page that contains 50 integration statements). Please provide also the list of connectathons where you have tested the actor/profile in the past.

Connectathon Fees

Connectathon fees are as following. There are system fees and domain fees. The fee for the first system is 2750 Euro, and 2850 Euro for the following ones (second, third, fourth...) registered by your company. The domain fee is 750 Euro. IT-I as a second domain is free.

So as an example:

  • Company ACME registers one system for the Radiology domain. The fee is 2750+750 = 3500.
  • Company BIGMED registers 2 systems that participate to the domain IT-I and Radiology. The fee are : 2750+2850+750 = 6350

All prices exclude VAT. VAT is Belgium VAT. If your company is headquarted in Belgium you will have to pay the VAT. If your company is headquarted in the EU but outside Belgium and you have an Intra-community VAT number the VAT will be waived. If your company if headquarted outside of EU you will not be charged for VAT.

Pre Connectathon Testing

From Mid January to March 2009 Implementation & Pre-connectathon Testing

  • Requirements Documents for Implementers
    • The page Summary of IHE Technical Requirements lists the set of IHE documents that should be consulted. The Connectathon relies on requirements defined in the IHE Technical Frameworks. For some profiles, those requirements are contained in more than one document. This occurs because we have final text from prior years and then supplements and Change Proposals for the current year. Use this page as a pointer to the relevant documentation for each profile.
  • Profile Risk Assessment
    • Connectathon registration is now closed. Subscription to individual profiles is never uniform. The page Europe 2009 Profile Registration Overview (you need to be logged in before reaching that page) lists each profile and our assessment of our ability to test the profile during the April 2009 Connectathon. The page provides a report of participation to each profile. Profile with missing actors are at risk. If you fill insecure about the testability of a profile please contact the technical manager.
  • Pre-Connnectathon (MESA) Testing - Each system participating in a Connectathon is required to run a set of pre-Connectathon tests, based on the actors/profiles you registered for, and upload the test results into Gazelle (link to be provided later) . First find out which tests are required for your system, then download the tools and documentation you need.
  • Collaborative Resources for Implementers
  • Project Manager Defined Testable Assertions
