Healthcare AI Integration Architecture: Building Production-Ready Hospital Adapters Beyond HL7, FHIR and DICOM

A hospital integration can successfully exchange an HL7 message, retrieve a FHIR resource, or transfer a DICOM study and still be unsafe for production AI. Why?

Because healthcare standards primarily define how data is represented, exchanged, queried, or retrieved. They do not fully determine whether the AI platform has:

• The correct patient and encounter
• A complete and clinically valid dataset
• Permission to use the information
• The appropriate model for the workflow
• A reliable way to return results
• A safe fallback when one component fails
• Sufficient provenance to investigate an incorrect output

A production-ready healthcare AI integration architecture therefore needs more than protocol support. It needs a policy-aware workflow and reliability layer between hospital systems and the AI platform.

This guide explains what that hospital adapter must handle, how the architecture should work, and what enterprise hospitals should evaluate before allowing an AI platform into a live clinical workflow.

Key Takeaways

• HL7, FHIR, and DICOM solve important interoperability problems, but they do not provide a complete production execution model for hospital AI.
• A hospital adapter must resolve identity, reconstruct workflow state, normalize semantics, enforce data-use policies, validate model eligibility, manage failures, and preserve end-to-end provenance.
• FHIR REST APIs are only one integration mechanism. Historical exports, event notifications, synchronous clinical decision support, imaging workflows, and legacy systems require different patterns.
• AI results must be delivered through clinically appropriate workflows, not merely stored as vendor JSON or written indiscriminately into the EHR.
• Production readiness should be evaluated through measurable reliability, security, observability, recovery, and clinical-safety requirements.

What Is a Production-Ready Hospital Adapter for an AI Platform?

An integration control layer that manages clinical context, data quality, workflow state, security policy, reliability, and result delivery while connecting an AI platform with EHRs, PACS, RIS, laboratory systems, interface engines, identity services, and other hospital applications is known as a production-ready hospital adapter.

It is not simply an HL7 parser, FHIR client, or DICOM router.

The adapter must transform several imperfect, asynchronous hospital data streams into a governed execution contract for the AI platform:

Use this approved model, for this patient and clinical context, with this complete set of authorized inputs, then deliver the result to this defined clinical workflow with full traceability.

That responsibility makes the adapter part of the hospital’s clinical and operational infrastructure rather than a basic connectivity component.

Why HL7, FHIR, and DICOM Are Necessary but Not Sufficient

Each standard solves a different part of the interoperability problem.

HL7 v2 supports event-driven hospital workflows

Hospital operations continue to heavily rely on HL7 v2.

Admission, discharge, transfer, order, scheduling, laboratory, and result events frequently move through ADT, ORM, ORU, SIU, and related message types.

However, receiving a syntactically valid message does not prove that:

• Related messages arrived in the correct sequence
• The encounter context is current
• A cancellation or correction was processed
• The patient identifier is still valid after a merge
• All prerequisites for AI inference are available
• The downstream AI workflow completed successfully

An HL7 acknowledgment may confirm that a receiving interface accepted or processed a message, but it does not establish that the complete AI transaction produced a safe clinical result.

FHIR provides structured resources and API conventions

FHIR gives AI platforms a modern way to access clinical information through resources such as Patient, Encounter, Observation, DiagnosticReport, ServiceRequest, MedicationRequest, Condition, DocumentReference, and ImagingStudy.

But FHIR implementation varies across vendors and hospitals. 

Supported resources, search parameters, profiles, write capabilities, subscriptions, authentication behavior, data completeness, and extensions may differ substantially. Real-world implementations frequently combine FHIR with HL7 v2 because neither mechanism alone covers every required workflow.

A production architecture may need several distinct FHIR patterns:

• FHIR REST APIs for transactional retrieval and updates
• Bulk Data Access for population-scale ingestion and historical backfills
• FHIR Subscriptions for notifications when relevant resources change
• CDS Hooks for synchronous decision support inside an EHR workflow
• SMART Backend Services for pre-authorized, system-to-system access without an interactive user

While CDS Hooks provides synchronous workflow invocation, prefetch, scoped FHIR access, and feedback patterns, SMART Backend Services employs asymmetric client authentication and short-lived access tokens for autonomous services.

DICOM moves and represents medical imaging information

DICOM and DICOMweb support imaging objects and services such as:

• Querying studies through QIDO-RS
• Retrieving objects through WADO-RS
• Storing objects through STOW-RS
• Traditional DIMSE-based query, retrieve, and storage workflows

DICOMweb can also act as a RESTful layer over existing DIMSE environments.

Yet receiving DICOM instances does not automatically tell an AI platform whether:

• The study is complete
• All required series are available
• The acquisition protocol is compatible
• Images were corrected or replaced
• The order was cancelled
• A prior examination should be included
• The result should update a radiology worklist, report, task, or alert
• A clinician accepted, rejected, or modified the AI output

IHE’s AI Workflow for Imaging profile addresses portions of AI task management using DICOM Unified Procedure Step services. 

However, the AI Results profile explicitly excludes several broader production concerns, including scheduling and managing analysis, clinician feedback, incorporating feedback into monitoring or training, non-imaging inputs, model provenance, and submission of results to an EMR.

That gap is where the hospital adapter must operate.

The Production Pattern: A Policy-Aware Workflow Control Plane

A strong healthcare interoperability architecture separates protocol connectivity from clinical execution.

Architecture layer	Primary responsibilities	Risk when missing
Connectivity gateway	HL7, FHIR, DICOM, CDA, X12 and vendor API connectivity	Incomplete or brittle system access
Identity and context	Patient, encounter, order, accession and study correlation	Wrong-patient or wrong-context inference
Semantic normalization	Code, unit, profile, timestamp and status normalization	Invalid or misleading model input
Workflow orchestration	State management, triggering, deduplication and human gates	Duplicate or premature inference
Policy and security	Authorization, consent, purpose of use and PHI controls	Unauthorized or excessive data use
AI execution control	Model eligibility, routing, versioning and rollback	Wrong model applied to a case
Result management	Clinical representation, routing, acknowledgment and correction	Results become orphaned or misinterpreted
Operations and governance	Audit, monitoring, reconciliation, recovery and model surveillance	Silent failures and unmanageable risk

The following capabilities determine whether that architecture is truly production-ready.

1. Multi-Protocol Connectivity Without Workflow Fragmentation

Enterprise hospitals rarely expose one clean, uniform integration surface.

One hospital may send ADT and order events through an interface engine, expose observations through FHIR, transfer images through DICOM, deliver clinical documents through CDA, and provide payer transactions through X12. A health system may also run different EHR and PACS platforms across acquired facilities.

The adapter should support these channels without creating a separate, unrelated workflow for every protocol.

A strong design converts incoming events into a shared internal workflow model while preserving the original message or resource. For example, an imaging order received through HL7 and a corresponding ImagingStudy retrieved through FHIR must be correlated with the DICOM StudyInstanceUID and accession number.

The adapter should also distinguish between:

• Transactional reads
• Historical backfills
• Real-time event notifications
• Synchronous workflow calls
• Batch transfers
• Result write-back
• Human-facing application launch

FHIR Bulk Data is designed for authorized asynchronous export of large datasets, while FHIR Subscriptions define event-notification patterns. Neither should be treated as interchangeable with synchronous FHIR REST queries or CDS Hooks.

Site-specific configurations should be version-controlled and separated from core application code. Otherwise, every hospital deployment becomes a custom software fork that is expensive to test, upgrade, and support.

2. Patient, Encounter, Order, and Study Identity Resolution

Identity correlation is one of the highest-risk responsibilities in a hospital AI integration. The adapter may need to reconcile:

• Enterprise patient identifier
• Facility-specific medical record number
• Assigning authority
• Encounter or visit number
• Account number
• Order identifier
• Accession number
• Specimen identifier
• DICOM StudyInstanceUID
• Device or monitoring-session identifier

Matching only on patient name and date of birth is not an acceptable production strategy for automated clinical workflows.

The adapter must understand identifier namespaces and maintain an explicit correlation record showing how each source identifier maps to the enterprise identity. It must also process:

• Patient merges
• Unmerges or identity corrections
• Alias changes
• Duplicate registrations
• Encounter reclassification
• Order replacement
• Accession-number changes
• Cross-facility transfers

IHE PIXm and related patient-identity profiles define RESTful identity-feed and query patterns, including events for creating, updating, merging, and removing patient identities.

The production requirement goes further: when an identity changes, the adapter must determine whether pending jobs, cached data, completed outputs, and previously delivered results must be relinked, quarantined, retracted, or reviewed.

Every AI job should carry an immutable internal correlation identifier so it can be traced even when source-system identifiers change.

3. Stateful Workflow Reconstruction

Hospital interfaces deliver events, not necessarily complete workflow state. Messages may arrive:

• Out of order
• More than once
• After a delay
• With corrections
• Before dependent data is available
• After a cancellation
• During downtime recovery

A production adapter therefore needs an explicit state machine. For an imaging-AI workflow, states might include:

1. Order received
2. Patient and encounter resolved
3. Imaging study detected
4. Required series received
5. Study completeness confirmed
6. Model eligibility passed
7. Inference submitted
8. Inference completed
9. Result clinically represented
10. Result delivered
11. Result acknowledged
12. Clinician action recorded
13. Workflow closed or escalated

The adapter must define which events cause a transition and which conditions block execution.

It should not launch inference merely because the first DICOM instance arrived. 

Study completeness may need to be determined through PACS or RIS status, expected-series rules, acquisition inactivity windows, or a combination of signals.

Likewise, a preliminary laboratory result may not be suitable for the same model workflow as a final or corrected result. The adapter must understand clinical statuses such as preliminary, final, amended, corrected, cancelled, entered-in-error, or superseded.

This stateful design also makes late and contradictory events manageable. A cancellation received after inference should trigger a defined disposition rather than leaving an unexplained output in the AI platform.

4. Clinical Data Quality and Temporal Completeness

Successful transport does not mean the data is fit for AI. Before inference, the adapter should validate:

• Required data elements
• Permitted missingness
• Value ranges
• Units of measure
• Code systems
• Reference ranges
• Source-system status
• Observation time
• Specimen time
• Documentation time
• Result-verification time
• Data freshness
• Sequence and study completeness

Temporal handling is particularly important.

A model should receive the information that was valid for the intended clinical moment. The adapter must distinguish between:

• When an event occurred
• When it was documented
• When the source system transmitted it
• When the adapter received it
• When the AI platform used it

A later correction should not silently overwrite the historical input used for an earlier inference.

For every execution, the adapter should preserve an input manifest containing:

• Source identifiers
• Resource or message versions
• Relevant timestamps
• Normalized values
• Data-quality results
• Excluded fields
• An input fingerprint or cryptographic hash
• The policy and model decision applied

This creates an auditable “as-of” view of what the AI system knew when the output was generated.

5. Semantic Normalization Without Destroying Provenance

AI platforms cannot safely assume that the same clinical concept is represented consistently across hospitals. The adapter may need to normalize:

• Local laboratory codes to LOINC
• Local medication identifiers to RxNorm
• Diagnosis and procedure classifications
• SNOMED CT clinical concepts
• UCUM units
• Device nomenclature
• Local radiology procedure codes
• Body site and laterality
• Race, ethnicity, language, sex and gender-related fields
• Local observation names and result categories

FHIR terminology services support value-set expansion, code validation, concept mapping, subsumption, and translation through operations such as ConceptMap $translate.

Normalization should never erase the source value.

The adapter should retain:

• Original code
• Original display text
• Original unit
• Source system
• Mapping version
• Mapping confidence
• Normalized code
• Transformation timestamp
• Manual override, where applicable

Mappings must be treated as governed production assets. They require version control, testing, ownership, review, and rollback.

A failed or ambiguous mapping should route the case to an exception workflow. It should not silently choose the closest concept because that choice could alter model eligibility or clinical meaning.

6. Security, Consent, and Data-Use Policy Enforcement

The adapter is a policy-enforcement point, not just a data conduit. A production design should apply:

• Least-privilege access
• Short-lived credentials
• Mutual TLS where appropriate
• Key rotation
• Secrets management
• Network egress restrictions
• Role- or attribute-based authorization
• Purpose-of-use controls
• Patient consent rules
• Data minimization
• Security labeling
• Encryption in transit and at rest
• PHI-safe logging
• Tenant and facility isolation

SMART scopes determine which FHIR resources and contexts a client may access, while FHIR security labels can express sensitivity, purpose-of-use restrictions, obligations, and handling constraints.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities and business associates to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information through administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. A cloud service that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits ePHI generally requires an appropriate business associate agreement and inclusion in the organization’s risk analysis.

The adapter should send only the information required for the approved AI purpose. De-identification, when appropriate, must follow a valid method such as Expert Determination or Safe Harbor rather than a vendor-defined interpretation of anonymization.

Specially protected information requires additional handling. Compliance with the updated 42 CFR Part 2 rule became required on February 16, 2026, affecting how federally protected substance-use-disorder information is consented, disclosed, and represented in privacy notices.

The architecture therefore needs a policy decision before data leaves the hospital boundary, not after it reaches the AI platform.

7. Model Eligibility, Routing, and Version Control

A hospital adapter must decide more than when to call an AI endpoint. It should determine:

• Whether the patient and use case meet the model’s intended-use criteria
• Whether required inputs are present
• Whether data quality exceeds defined thresholds
• Which model and version are approved for the facility
• Which threshold or operating point applies
• Whether the workflow is production, shadow, validation, or research
• Whether a human authorization step is required
• Whether an alternative model or manual workflow should be used

The adapter should integrate with a governed model registry containing:

• Model name and version
• Intended use
• Contraindications
• Required inputs
• Supported populations
• Approved facilities
• Deployment date
• Validation evidence
• Decision thresholds
• Owner
• Rollback version
• Regulatory status, where applicable

Model upgrades should not be uncontrolled vendor-side changes.

The adapter must be able to pin a model version, route a limited approved cohort to a new version, compare monitored outcomes, and roll back without redesigning the hospital interface.

NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework organizes AI governance through Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage functions and calls for ongoing evaluation of validity, reliability, incidents, errors, and risk thresholds. 

FDA guidance for AI-enabled medical device software similarly emphasizes total-product-lifecycle risk management, transparency, real-world performance, and the human-AI team.

8. Clinically Appropriate Result Representation and Write-Back

An AI platform returning JSON is not the end of the workflow. The adapter must convert the output into a representation that the hospital’s clinical systems and users can safely consume.

Depending on the use case, that may involve:

• DICOM Structured Report
• DICOM Segmentation
• DICOM presentation state
• FHIR Observation
• FHIR DiagnosticReport
• FHIR Task
• FHIR GuidanceResponse
• HL7 ORU message
• EHR inbox item
• PACS or radiology-worklist indicator
• Clinical alert
• Review queue
• Operational dashboard

The result should carry sufficient context, including:

• Patient and encounter
• Order or study
• Finding or classification
• Units and reference information
• Confidence or probability, where appropriate
• Applied threshold
• Model name and version
• Input timestamp
• Result timestamp
• Result status
• Intended clinical use
• Whether clinician verification is required

An AI-generated finding should remain distinguishable from a clinician-validated diagnosis or final report. The adapter also needs a lifecycle for:

• Preliminary outputs
• Superseded results
• Corrected results
• Withdrawn results
• Failed delivery
• Clinician acceptance
• Clinician rejection
• Clinician modification
• Escalation
• Reconciliation

Write-back authority must be defined explicitly. The system should not automatically modify a final clinical document simply because the AI endpoint produced a result.

9. Reliable Delivery, Idempotency, Replay, and Reconciliation

Hospital networks and applications fail. APIs time out. Tokens expire. PACS queues fill. Interface engines restart. AI endpoints become unavailable. The adapter must assume these failures will occur.

Production controls should include:

• Durable message queues
• Backpressure management
• Timeouts
• Circuit breakers
• Retry policies with bounded exponential delay
• Dead-letter queues
• Idempotency keys
• Duplicate detection
• Ordered processing where clinically required
• Safe replay
• Reconciliation jobs
• Local buffering for edge deployments
• Manual exception management

Distributed systems commonly provide at-least-once delivery. The adapter must therefore make repeated processing safe and produce an exactly-once business effect where the clinical workflow requires it.

For example, replaying an HL7 result message should not create three separate EHR results. A duplicate DICOM object should not trigger a second inference. A repeated FHIR notification should not send another clinician alert unless the underlying resource version changed meaningfully.

IHE audit specifications also recognize the need to buffer audit events when the central audit repository is temporarily unavailable.

Reconciliation is essential because interface acknowledgments can still hide downstream gaps. 

The adapter should periodically compare source orders, AI jobs, completed outputs, and delivered results to identify missing or orphaned transactions.

10. End-to-End Clinical and Technical Observability

Traditional interface monitoring answers questions such as:

• Is the connection open?
• Are messages flowing?
• Did the endpoint return an error?

AI workflow observability must answer more:

• How many eligible cases were detected?
• How many were excluded, and why?
• Which inputs were missing?
• Which model version processed each case?
• How long did each stage take?
• Which results were not delivered?
• Which results were rejected or corrected?
• Are errors concentrated at one facility or device?
• Has input-data distribution changed?
• Has model performance changed after an EHR, scanner, laboratory, or workflow update?

A useful trace should follow one clinical transaction across:

source event → identity resolution → data assembly → policy decision → model execution → result conversion → clinical delivery → user response

Operational dashboards should separate:

• Connectivity failures
• Identity exceptions
• Mapping failures
• Data-quality exclusions
• Policy denials
• Model errors
• Result-delivery failures
• Clinician workflow outcomes

Logs and metrics must not expose unnecessary PHI. Organizations should use opaque correlation identifiers and controlled access to protected diagnostic data.

Example: How the Adapter Should Orchestrate an Imaging-AI Workflow

Consider an AI model used to prioritize suspected pulmonary embolism cases from CT pulmonary angiography.

A production workflow could operate as follows:

1. The adapter ingests ADT and order events, resolves the patient, encounter, ordering location, and accession number, and creates an internal workflow record.
2. DICOM instances begin arriving from the scanner or PACS. The adapter correlates the StudyInstanceUID with the order and accession.
3. The adapter waits for the required series and validates modality, body part, acquisition protocol, image count, reconstruction type, and study status.
4. It confirms that the facility, patient context, study type, data-use policy, and required inputs are approved for the deployed model.
5. The approved model, threshold, and configuration for that hospital are retrieved from the model registry.
6. The request includes a unique execution identifier and input manifest. A retry cannot create a second clinical transaction.
7. The adapter verifies schema, model version, probability range, localization data, completion status, and processing latency.
8. Findings may be represented through DICOM SR or segmentation objects and, where appropriate, FHIR DiagnosticReport or Observation resources.
9. The radiology worklist may receive a prioritization indicator. The AI output remains clearly identified as machine-generated and subject to clinician review.
10. The adapter records whether the radiologist accepted, rejected, or modified the output without allowing that feedback to become uncontrolled training data.
11. The system confirms that the result reached the intended destination and preserves the input, model, output, delivery, and user-action trail.

If the model is unavailable, the adapter should preserve the normal radiology workflow, avoid presenting the case as AI-reviewed, and apply an approved queueing or escalation policy.

That is the difference between connecting an AI API and operating an AI-enabled clinical workflow.

Production Service-Level Objectives Hospitals Should Define

There is no universal SLO suitable for every AI use case. 

A time-sensitive stroke or pulmonary-embolism workflow requires a different latency and recovery model from overnight coding, retrospective quality review, or population-risk stratification.

Hospitals should define measurable requirements for:

• Event-ingestion availability
• Maximum acceptable end-to-end latency
• Maximum queue age
• Data-completeness thresholds
• Result-delivery success
• Reconciliation frequency
• Maximum unresolved exception age
• Recovery time objective
• Recovery point objective
• Audit-record availability
• Alert acknowledgment
• Model-endpoint failure behavior
• Maximum supported throughput
• Downtime operating procedure

“No silent loss” should be a core design principle.

Every eligible source event should reach a documented terminal state: completed, excluded, cancelled, failed with escalation, or manually resolved.

What Changes in the 2026 US Healthcare Environment?

Hospital adapters built in 2026 must account for an evolving interoperability and AI-governance environment.

USCDI and US Core versions are advancing

USCDI version 6 was published in July 2025. The 2026 Standards Version Advancement Process approved USCDI v6 and US Core 9.0 as advanced voluntary versions, while the applicable regulatory baseline includes USCDI v3 and US Core 6.1. Voluntary incorporation of the 2026 SVAP versions begins August 29, 2026.

An enterprise adapter should therefore isolate its canonical data model from a single FHIR implementation-guide version and support version-aware validation and transformation.

Predictive decision-support transparency is becoming operational

The HTI-1 requirements for predictive decision-support interventions include source-attribute transparency and risk-management practices addressing validity, reliability, robustness, fairness, intelligibility, safety, security, and privacy for applicable certified health IT.

The adapter can support these obligations by preserving model identity, input provenance, workflow context, output status, and user interaction.

HIPAA modernization remains proposed

HHS has proposed significant updates to the HIPAA Security Rule, but the proposal should not be described as a final rule. Hospitals should comply with the current rule while monitoring the rulemaking and avoiding architecture decisions that make stronger controls difficult to adopt.

FDA oversight may apply to the AI function

Some AI capabilities may qualify as medical devices, depending on their intended use and functionality. In those cases, interface changes, model updates, real-world monitoring, and result presentation may affect the broader regulated product lifecycle. Hospitals and vendors should determine regulatory responsibilities rather than assuming the adapter is outside the product boundary.

Production-Readiness Evaluation Checklist

Before approving a hospital adapter, architecture teams should ask:

Connectivity and conformance

• Which HL7 versions, FHIR versions, implementation guides, DICOM services, and vendor APIs are supported?
• Does the adapter inspect the FHIR CapabilityStatement and validate actual server behavior?
• Can it support REST, Bulk Data, Subscriptions, CDS Hooks, and SMART backend access where required?
• How are hospital-specific mappings and profiles versioned?

Identity and clinical context

• How are identifier namespaces represented?
• How are patient merge, unmerge, alias, encounter-update, and order-replacement events handled?
• Can every AI result be traced to the correct patient, encounter, order, accession, study, and source version?

Workflow safety

• What explicitly triggers inference?
• How is data or study completeness determined?
• How are duplicates, late events, corrections, cancellations, and amended results processed?
• What human-review gates exist?

AI governance

• How is model eligibility determined?
• Can models be pinned by facility, workflow, and version?
• Is controlled rollback supported?
• Is every execution linked to an intended use, threshold, configuration, and validation record?

Security and privacy

• What PHI leaves the hospital?
• Where is it processed and stored?
• How are consent, minimum-necessary rules, security labels, and Part 2 information enforced?
• Are credentials short-lived and centrally managed?
• Can the vendor prove tenant isolation and controlled administrative access?

Reliability and operations

• Are queues durable?
• Is processing idempotent?
• Can transactions be replayed safely?
• How are orphaned jobs detected?
• What happens during EHR, PACS, interface engine, network, cloud, or model downtime?
• Are recovery procedures tested?

Result delivery

• Which clinical systems receive the result?
• What representation is used?
• Is the result clearly distinguished from clinician-validated information?
• How are corrections, withdrawals, acknowledgments, and clinician feedback handled?

Testing

• Are there golden-message and golden-study test suites?
• Are patient merges, duplicates, missing fields, reordered events, corrections, and downtime scenarios tested?
• Is performance tested with representative production-like volume and variability?
• Is clinical workflow validation performed before broad rollout?

Sandbox testing alone is insufficient because production EHR environments often expose vendor-specific resources, authentication behavior, inconsistent data, and event patterns that are not visible in simplified test systems.

Should Hospitals Build the Adapter or Use Integration Middleware?

A conventional interface engine may be sufficient when the requirement is limited to stable transport, transformation, routing, and acknowledgment.

A specialized AI hospital adapter becomes necessary when the use case includes:

• Multiple EHRs, PACS platforms, or facilities
• Real-time clinical triggering
• Cross-protocol context correlation
• Patient-identity changes
• Model-specific eligibility rules
• Regulated AI functionality
• Complex clinical write-back
• High availability and recovery requirements
• Multiple model versions
• Feedback and performance monitoring
• Hybrid cloud and on-premises execution

Hospitals do not necessarily need to replace their existing interface engine. In many architectures, the interface engine remains the transport and routing layer while the AI adapter provides workflow state, policy enforcement, model control, provenance, result lifecycle, and operational governance.

The right boundary should be documented before development begins.

A production interoperability assessment should produce, at minimum:

• System and interface inventory
• Canonical data contract
• Identity-correlation model
• Clinical workflow state machine
• Terminology strategy
• Security and consent model
• AI execution contract
• Result write-back specification
• Deployment topology
• Reliability and recovery requirements
• Test and validation plan
• Operational ownership model
