Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

  1. Introduction of visitors - none
  2. Agenda review and approval - agenda accepted.
  3. Reminder: HL7 Newsletter articles due by next Friday to Andrea (aribick at hl7.org) In lieu of a separate newsletter we’ll merge with the regular HL7 Newsletter
  4. Approve Minutes of 2011-02-14 TSC Call Agenda unanimously approved
  5. Requested approvals:
    • Motion: Approve Model Automatic Exchange (MAX) for UML Models Project Scope Statement for Tooling WG of T3SD, at TSC Tracker # 1779, Project Insight #742
      • Patrick describes the project. Calvin asks if this is doable; Patrick notes that part of the project is to determine its feasibility. Ravi asks if there was some concern about duplicating DCM activity. What exactly a DCM is, is still being discussed, and what its representation is, or what part of the specification is normative vs informative Patrick notes. If we need to put this off for a week we can do so. Austin asks if funding is needed, but Patrick would need to ask Jane or ask her to attend next week’s call. Calvin asks if a checkpoint on feasibility could be added to the objectives/deliverables list. Patrick notes that perhaps that implies the project is solely a feasibility study. Calvin would like to see an assessment before deploying the tool to all HL7 Working Groups. Patrick will follow up with Jane, Andy Stechishin. Motion Tabled.
    • Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement for TSC T3F Strategic Initiative Review Project for TSC at Tracker #1788, Project Insight #749; Woody noted it’s ok if the TSC approves it as long as we identify some additional bodies to work on it. Austin notes that another intent is to survey people to feel how we’re doing against the original recommendations. We may want to pull in some of the original T3F members to help with the evaluation. Ravi asks what the outcome will be. The report may identify things that are no longer important. It’s useful to see where we thought we were headed compared to where we are actually headed today. Austin asked for volunteers to participate. Calvin asked if we should ask for volunteers when we have a larger quorum. Motion Tabled
    • Motion: Approve the Preparation of SAIF Book for Informative Ballot Project Scope Statement approved by ArB. Calvin asks if one of the deliverable would be to implement changes to the V3 version brand as identified. It may be more that methodology is updated as needed. Austin points out that the scope includes a TSC recommendation that the Board and EC should fund the program management position for this program.
      • Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve in-committee (for circulation to co-chairs list) the SAIF Architecture Program PSS. Submitted last week to the work groups for comment and received no feedback.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement - Semantic Health Information Performance and Privacy Standard (SHIPPS) for CBCC, at TSC Tracker # 1787, Project Insight # 724. Austin notes that it might be better as US Realm rather than Universal based on participation, project team composition etc. Ed will follow up with them. Motion Tabled
    • Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement - Guidance for the use of Terminology Post-Coordinated Expressions in HL7 for Vocab, at TSC Tracker # 1789, Project Insight # 743. Appears to be constrained to use in messages, and not in documents, according to checkboxes at top? Mention of documents in project collaboration. Do we need to go back to them on the checkboxes, whether it’s only messages or all the constructs. We should ask them. Calvin asks if there was a terminfo writeup and did it only apply to V3 artifacts – does this expand upon that effort? What is the relationship between this effort and the terminfo standard, to seek understanding of the scope relationship. Austin will follow up with Vocab. Motion tabled.
    • Motion: Approve DSTU Publication Request - Implementation Guide for NHSN Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Reports, Release 6, for Structured Documents WG of SSD SD, at TSC Tracker # 1790, Project Insight # 319. Previous releases have all run under the same scope statement but if they have further versions they intend to create a new project. Calvin was not sure if the committee intended to take this normative but it’s very likely.
      • Vote: unanimously approved.
  6. Discussion Topics: deferred to next week


Adjourned 11:48 AM EST
