Governance

  1. Approval items:
  2. Discussion topics:
    • Strategic Initiatives Dashboard - WGM Effectiveness Metrics (Dave Hamill)
      • Dave displays the WGMEffectiveness_20121206b spreadsheet. Current draft targets 10% improvement of non-compliance. Jean volunteers to work with Dave on these metrics and has concern on the international council. The outlier metrics on the Sydney meeting skew the data but otherwise it makes logical sense. Ron notes the posting agendas seems to be the target metric where we need to be concerned and agrees with the 10% threshold. Woody agrees with Jean's observations and Austin suggests we look at only a period of time, like three or four cycles. Jean and Mead note it would be interesting to have data even further back. Dave notes that the columns based on survey data will only be available as far back as we have collected that data.
      • Austin asks about a rollup metric for dashboard reporting. ACTION ITEM: Jean should work with Dave on what the number of cycles for the rolling average on which the improvement threshold is measured. Dave and Lynn will look for surveymonkey data on 2011Sept San Diego data.
    • TSC Health Metrics
      • Measuring TSC metrics to similar standards to which the Work Groups are measured. If we do it for the TSC then we might also do it for FGB/FMG and other PLA governance groups going forward. Mead finds it reasonable and the list is the first step. Austin suggests meeting quorum, participation in e-votes. The members' groups represented might want to see how they are being represented and what the standards are that we hold ourselves to. Want to make it generic enough so that groups other than the TSC can measure themselves to the benchmarks. Calvin thinks it might apply to Steering Divisions as well. ACTION ITEM: Austin and Calvin will take a look at some draft metrics for mid-tier governance and management groups.

Management

  1. Review action items –
    • #2400 Consolidation of approaches for submitting enhancement requests - (last update: revisit after illumination from the board on the plans for a help desk)
      • Address next week or following
    • organize vitality assessment pre-kickoff call (Ron) will have an outline next week. Ron reports no progress on vitality assessment for SAIF as they are heads-down on the BAM
    • Austin, Charlie and Calvin will work offline to draft the precise measurement of a new metric around WGH regarding cochairs; no progress this week
    • Lynn will try to get a list of cochairs and membership status - see report as of 2013-02-22 II and CS have cochairs from Siemens pending membership renewals. Patient Safety still working on their situation.
    • Jean will establish and schedule the ANSI/GOM Review Task force, with Freida, Pat and Calvin - doodle poll sent today. Freida reports that there are three items that the GOC wish to address and she'll send them out.
    • Pat will obtain the FP definition from Helen. Charlie offers to review it using terms such as the ArB recommendation for a DAM. She'll have something by the end of this week.
    • Woody will check V3 schemas for accommodation of non-English character representation. He found that the schemas cannot assert a character representation. Instances can assert such a constraint and the implementation guides may do so. Woody will forward Paul's letter on V3. FHIR uses UTF-8 and these character sets can be represented in UTF-8.
    • Tony will look into CCOW character representation for HITSC's ISO 8859 recommendation. He sent his findings to the TSC list today. Web content manager through http is bound to the mentioned character set. Windows implementation is not bound to a character set.
      • Calvin asks if the implementations or applications built by HL7 are of concern to the issue. The US conformance criteria on EHRs for character set display was the concern and it appears the standards accommodate this. If HTTP is out of compliance then the Feds would have to work on W3C to change and basically render their statement as un-enforceable. ACTION ITEM: Austin and Woody will draft language for a recommendation on this.
  2. Approval items:
    From e-vote last week - votes cast by 4 SD and one International Representative:
    For e-vote this week:
  3. Discussion topics:
    • PBS Metrics team review of the 2013May NIB submissions - Lynn to identify those that passed previous ballot and are reballoting. Received Clinical Statement PSS for normative and will add to the evote.
  4. Reports: (attach written reports below from Steering Divisions et al.)
