Management

  1. Discussion topics:
    • Plan for CDS projects (15 mins)
      • Austin recounts the email summary of the task force discussion. Steps include
        • Making most of the relevant CDS projects US Realm specific DSTU projects, approved by the Steering Division as such on Friday's call
        • Starting projects to develop the universal versions of these proposed standards, sponsored by the appropriate work groups (such as ITS), and
        • Quickly setting up a content review groups to review about half a dozen proposed CDS standards to identify how to change them to better conform with HL7 development methodology
        • Establish a project to provide project management services on the HL7 side to make sure all US Realm related projects are on schedule and making important milestones like project approvals, ballot deadlines, etc. We want to avoid having any of the other numerous US Ream projects from blowing up in our face like this again.
      • Foundation and Technology Steering Division(FTSD) does not believe that HL7 Implementation Guide: XML Implementation for Virtual Medical Record, Release 1 should be released or balloted as a DSTU prior to necessary coordination between the proponent groups and FTSD Work Groups CGIT, ITS, MNM and Templates as well as ARB.
      • CDS wishes to publish this quickly.
      • Woody notes they are concerned about balloting the R2 before having a chance to meet in Cambridge. R1 publishing before they ballot R2 is appropriate but the datatypes R2 validity is suspect. Why publish an R1 by HL7 when we know there is significant change to R2. Friday Ken notes that Jacob Rieder of ONC clarified timelines to publish sometime in October, so the off-cycle ballot would accommodate that timeline to publish the R2 ballot material as R1 without publishing the R1 ballot material. Austin would like to have the content review team look at it and make a recommendation back to the TSC.
      • Motion: Calvin moves and Andy seconds endorsement of the plan for the CDS projects and formation of task force. Vote: Unanimously approved.
      • Uncertainty of MnM participation regarding to FHIR expressed. Jean Duteau volunteered and will wear his hat as MnM cochair and represent Datatypes as well as FHIR methodology interests. Ken asks about the timelines for engaging to move quickly for content deadlines at the end of the month. Ken has created a doodle poll for participation and will wait for instruction.
      • Related project scope statement approvals for CDS - Calvin notes they were reviewed and changes made- approvals contingent on objections from the cochairs' review. Discussion of the vMR terminology reviewed. Austin proposes an e-vote this week allowing for tweaks to the name
        • Project Scope Statement for Virtual Medical Record XML Implementation Guide, Release 2 (US Realm), for CDS WG of SSD SD and cosponsored by ITS WG of FTSD at Project Insight # 1016 and TSC Tracker 2703
        • Project Scope Statement for Virtual Medical Record Templates Process and Implementation Guide, Release 1 (US Realm) at Project Insight # 1030 and TSC Tracker # 2702 for CDS WG of SSD SD and pending confirmation of cosponsorship by Templates WG of FTSD.
        • Project Scope Statement for Virtual Medical Record Domain Analysis Model, Release 3, for CDS of SSD SD at Project Insight 1017.
        • Project Scope Statement for Decision Support Service Implementation Guide (US Realm) for CDS WG of SSD SD with SOA as cosponsor at Project Insight # 1018 and TSC Tracker # 2700
  2. Approval items:
    • Referred to discussion from e-vote:
      • ArB mission and charter statement approval
        • Freida's comments reviewed. Lorraine notes that Ron was content to comply with her suggestions. Tony will send the updated version to Lynn today. Lorraine moves approval with these changes seconded by Freida and unanimously approved.
      • Normative ballot Request for Regulated Product Submission Release 2 (RPS 2) by RCRIM of DESD at # 539 and TSC Tracker # 2693;
        • Jean notes that there are problems with their model with DSTU comments that were rejected. Issues raised on the model from the RCRIM list were not addressed and the commenter "gave up". He seeks confirmation from the project and its modeler that the changes requested will not be ignored. Need to understand also that they will not neglect to update the model so that they will not break existing implications, notes Woody and that they will go from ITS 1 to ITS 2 and not 2B. Andy points out that if they intended to use the R2B ITS they would need authorization from the TSC to use the wire-format compatible standards. Jean has voted negative and would like to see this project blocked from balloting normative at this time without these assurances and confirmation from WG that they will address negatives from the DSTU and were postponed to the normative release.
        • Calvin moves approval with caveat that the committee is notified that the negatives from the DSTU cannot be ignored in the normative ballot; Woody seconds and offers amendment that the committee should consider negative votes rejected as part of the DSTU, backwards compatibility to prior implementations are not considered valid reason to reject negative votes. Unanimously approved. Jean volunteers to write that up. Austin suggests he work with Mead on that.
