Use Case Working Group Charter

The Use Case Working Group (UCWG) is responsible for identifying and prioritizing user experiences to be addressed by the Continua Interoperability Guidelines. This is accomplished through a process of eliciting, collecting, compiling and analyzing use cases submitted by the Continua Health Alliance member companies. In an open forum, these use cases are reviewed for clarity and completeness, and consolidated to reduce redundancy. The result is a ballot of user experiences on which member companies can vote to voice their preferred priority. Outside of this process, the UCWG serves as a resource to the Technical Working Group on questions about market and user needs by soliciting input from domain experts and panels. Lastly, the UCWG shall produce a presentation summarizing the accomplishments, schedule, risks and plans of the group at each of the quarterly Continua Health Alliance Summits.
