Ten Principles for Fostering Development of an “iPhone-like” Platform for Healthcare Information Technology
http://www.chip.org/platform
-
Technology platforms that support substitutable applications should be promoted.
-
Messages and protocols for data exchange should be allowed to emerge
on demand in a market-driven approach, and specified transparently at
every level.
-
Protocols and application programming interfaces should allow the possibility of multiple platforms co-existing.
- Application programming interfaces should be open.
- Substitutable application or platform vendors should not have control over what is installed on the platform.
-
Application installation should be turnkey.
-
The intellectual property of platforms and applications should be kept separate.
- All applications should be removable and none should be required to run a platform.
- The platform should have a highly efficient delivery mechanism for applications.
-
Certification requirements for platforms and applications should be kept minimal to maximize substitutability.
