  3. ArB Report – Charlie Mead
    • ArB proposal for updating Substantive Change language, process, etc.
      ArB's Working Definition: Substantive change is any change in a specification that causes changes to conformant implementations, except in as much the implementation leverages technical publication artifacts directly.
    • Charlie Mead notes that Jane Curry gave the ArB a good history of how this came to be. Made it through development though did not go through to ballot. It is not a trivial issue. Definition from Grahame. It’s probably not the be-all and end-all definition but a working definition. Will publish to directed audience for feedback to a task force. ArB asks for today is the TSC comfortable with this strategy or if not, what revisions?
    • Woody asks if this was documented elsewhere? Charlie Mead sends the four steps to the TSCadmins list.
    • Patrick, John join.
    • Would be part of the HL7 implementation of SAIF governance. Might sit between governance and conformance.
    • Ravi asks what is the timeline? Will this be a task force or will be a project?
    • Motion: Approve the tentative approach and ask ArB to draft and bring back to TSC on next week’s call. Vote: unanimously approved. Ron will be here the next two weeks as Charlie Mead will be gone, and Charlie Mead leaves the call.
  4. Approve Minutes
  5. Review action items –

  6. WGM Follow up
    • CMET approach for ANSI - Karen working with Woody; Woody submitted NIB last night for reaffirmation ballot for releases 3 through 7 and will continue to refine on wiki page. Total of 62 CMETs in this category.
  7. HL7 Chair or CEO Report – Bob has nothing to report.
  8. CTO Report - John Quinn notes the thread of emails on the wiki page going to the cochairs was anticipated for discussion today prompting Bob’s attendance. John is working on MOU, technical scope and effort, with NCPDP regarding mapping SCRIPT to RIM where applicable and identify gaps. Scott Robertson is reviewing the proposed scope and difficulty assessment for John. They are preparing for eligibility of RIM as information model for US Healthcare with NIEM.
    • Woody notes that they plan to submit proposal to ISO for continuous adoption of RIM as ISO specification. There is an obligation to define a process for doing so, compatible with HL7 objectives. If anyone is interested please join the MnM effort. Proposals will be developed in coming weeks.
    • John notes that there are discussions on EHR-S ballot in ISO as ISO-only or JIC. HL7 has not yet received acknowledgement whether it is JIC. John waiting to get confirmation from ISO secretariat.
  9. Affiliates Report – Ravi Natarajan has no report. He asks Bob where the latest version of the HL7 Strategic Initiatives document is? Karen will be updating the hyperlink on the home page, but he can email it as well.
  10. Domain Experts Report– Austin Kreisler/Ed Tripp
    • Motion: to approve Project Scope Statement for Patient Safety - ICSR IG at TSC Tracker #1676, Project Insight # 703;
      • planning to go to ballot in January, on the heels of the ICSR Normative ballot having passed the JIC process in September. ICSR is going for FDIS in ISO with cosmetic changes. John reported regarding WG6 of ISO meeting in Rotterdam that the feeling prevailed that it was done. The Implementation guide would be US Realm.
      • Marked as public document, notes Austin. Is this a decision by the TSC? It is subject to approval by the EC. Mead thought that it was typical of Implementation Guides. This needs to be validated.
      • Most of the content has already been developed, so there are not many people on the project team defined.
      • Austin moves we approve second Helen, subject to EC endorsement. Vote: Unanimously approved. John will address to the EC. Mead will check with the Work Group to see if it’s their intent.
    • Informative announcement: The HL7 Executive Committee has approved an out-of-cycle meeting for GAS (Generation of Anesthesia Standards) WG on February 16 and 17 2011 in London, UK (in lieu of attendance at the regularly scheduled WGM).
