What is a domain?   In general a domain is a "sphere of knowledge, influence or activity".   Here in the FHIM, it is a subject area in healthcare which we model.   The list of domains is shown at right.

 

According to Wikipedia: a Domain model" in problem solving and software engineering can be thought of as a conceptual model of a domain of interest (often referred to as a problem domain) which describes the various entities, their attributes, roles and relationships, plus the constraints that govern the integrity of the model elements comprising that problem domain."

"The domain model also identifies the relationships among all the entities within the scope of the problem domain, and commonly identifies their attributes."
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_model

Domain-driven design (DDD) is an approach to developing software for complex needs by deeply connecting the implementation to an evolving model of the core business concepts.[1] The premise of domain-driven design is the following:

  • Placing the project's primary focus on the core domain and domain logic
  • Basing complex designs on a model
  • Initiating a creative collaboration between technical and domain experts to iteratively cut ever closer to the conceptual heart of the problem.

Domain Driven Design is not a technology or a methodology. DDD provides a structure of practices and terminology for making design decisions that focus and accelerate software projects dealing with complicated domains.

The FHIMS program is intended to coordinate the efforts of the partner agencies with respect to information and terminology standards, including the coordination of agency efforts at relevant Standards Development Organizations (SDOs ).  This website was created for Healthcare IT professionals for collaborative purposes only and is subject to the terms of use.  It is not an official government website for the FHIMS program.  

 
 
The FHIMS is an information model rather than a data model.  Data models are meant to be implemented, whereas information models are higher level specifications.  From Wikipedia: an information model "in software engineering is a representation of concepts, relationships, constraints, rules, and operations to specify data semantics for a chosen domain of discourse. It can provide sharable, stable, and organized structure of information requirements for the domain context"
