Governance

1. Discussion topics:
   • Who has responsibilities to define new product definition: Project Services noticed we currently have 19 projects with “New Product Definition”. (Freida)
     • Checkbox on project scope statement - what happens next? Who defines it? Austin notes there is some confusion about what that means and suggests removing the check boxes and offering free text to describe the products the project will produce. The guidance in the PSS for that section points them to the products section of the web site and the seven primary categories on the introduction page. Freida asks when such a new product definition is brought up on a PSS, is Project Services supposed to look at that, or review with the Steering Division or some other review?
     • Should this be new product family instead of new product? A new IG for CCDA is not a new product. IT should indicate for a new product family/line and a text area to describe how it is different and then point them in the guidance to the definition of a product family and product line from the BAM.
   • Conformance profile development by volunteers (Ken)
     • Ken doing some research on whether conformance profile development can be adequately performed using only volunteer work; the first one cost about $40k to develop.
     • Jean disclaims he received the work from the first bid which was fixed price from HQ. If Chuck intends to develop four more profiles for September, you won't get the quality from a volunteer effort that you would get from a dedicated funded developer.
     • Ken asks about how well the $40k covered the work? Jean notes that there is economy of scale so that three more would not need $120k to cover; they worked with Aegis to determine what was needed but they only produced one scenario from the implementation guide, not all the use cases of the IG.
     • Lorraine notes that with a timeframe of a project schedule to review on volunteer reviewers was difficult and resulted in delay of deliverables. Further discussion ensued.
     • Discussion of the cost/revenue options and interest (both US Realm and International) in the next profiles resulted in desire for market research. FHIR is of great interest but no FHIR profiles available to constrain adequately at this time. With free reference implementations available then paid conformance testing may not be marketable.
     • Paul says we need to evaluate based on the pain that can be alleviated by the selection. LRI, CDA R2 IG, Immunization Guide additional cases. Paul asks what mandated exchange (current or proposed) that is not working well for people? If not then what is the value of conformance testing. Large scale CDA exchange between providers is suggested by Austin.
     • ACTION ITEM: Ken and Calvin will address the potential for a survey.
