• Approval items from previous weeks with followup:
  • CDS STU extension requests
    • Ken Kawamoto here to discuss. TSC had already extended all of them. Question was what to do with them and whether or not TSC can extend more than once. Austin notes that we voted to extend these for 6 months to bring them to Normative. There were no comments in the STU database to support continuation. Discussion over whether to withdraw or take to Normative. Ken K. notes that these are STUs of previously normative specifications that have implementations. Lack of comments is because they've been around for some time. Reason we were holding off on taking to normative is that we're working on replacements; were going to reballot as STUs but were told that we shouldn't, that we should put in extension requests instead because there was no change to be balloted. Jean: If there are no comments then it indicates that it's ready for Normative. Ken: WG already voted to do so if that was the recommendation of the TSC, so they will submit the NIBs.
    • Ken K. departs. Jean asks about the inconsistency that was noted in the conversation where they were told to extend rather than reballot at STUs. Paul notes that they may be taking material to ballot that they will deprecate in the next cycle. Austin: They can choose to do nothing for the moment and just have the STUs in the lapsed state.
• Approval items from last week's e-vote referred for discussion:
  • STU Publication Request by the CQI WG of the DESD for HL7 Version 3 Implementation Guide: Clinical Quality Language (CQL)-based Health Quality Measure Format (HQMF) - Release 1, STU 2 - US Realm at Project Insight 1142 and TSC Tracker 13490
    • Referred by SSD-SD: Several negatives in the ballot reconciliation have been dispositioned with “Considered, No Action Required” and “Referred and Tracked” which are not allowed dispositions for negatives per the GOM. This needs to be sent back to the work group so the negatives can be properly addressed.
      • Discussion over appropriateness of these dispositions. "Not Persuasive" is the appropriate disposition but it can't be applied to a negative. Lorraine notes that we've acknowledged a problem with this and are working to change it but the change isn't complete.
        • MOTION: Send back to WG to say that they have used inappropriate dispositions for negatives: Austin/Jean
        • VOTE: All in favor
        • ACTION: Ken will contact WG with this information
        • Paul notes that the FHIR path pub request had a similar issue that has been resolved.
        • ACTION: Anne to re-send FHIR path request for e-vote
        • Discussion over how to manage in the future. For now, will reinforce at cochair dinner in September once new disposition has been added. Tony notes that the verbiage in the GOM is "is expected" and should likely be changed to "shall." Instructions are more explicit in the ballot spreadsheet. Freida notes that in STUs, there is not a requirement to resolve negatives at all. Tony: One paragraph says each negative comment has to be resolved, but then another says it's not a requirement. Austin: IN the past the TSC has asserted that STUs and Normatives should be following the same process when it comes to reconciliation.
        • ACTION: Austin will research instances in which the TSC has asserted that STUs and Normatives should follow the same reconciliation process.
        • ACTION: Add to next week's agenda - alignment between Normative and STU ballot dispositions
• Approval items from last week's e-vote approved 8/0/0 with Freida, Giorgio, T3SD, SSD-SD, FTSD, DESD, ARB, and Jean voting:
  • Project Approval Request by the OO WG of the SSD-SD for LOINC - IVD Test Code (LIVD) Mapping at Project Insight 1335 and TSC Tracker 13491
  • Review and Approval of Updated SSD-SD Mission and Charter at TSC Tracker 13492
    • Ken notes that there is another step after approval. How do we evaluate this and determine if we need to make a change to the SD and add to it? Freida suggests a checklist could help. This came out of discussions at the Madrid WGM where WGs and SDs were charged to review their M&Cs to see if their scope/name was still appropriate. Austin: M&C review stops at the SD. Ken: I thought we agreed we would get them to the TSC as part of the essentialism project. Austin: We need to reinforce that message to them. Lorraine: There are some WGs who are confused about the message.
      • ACTION: Ken will craft a statement regarding getting M&C to SD for TSC review; will review message to WGs next week.
      • ACTION: Anne to add to homework for next week
      • Anne asks what the next steps are on this approval. Should changes to the website be made at this point, for example, to change SSD to Domain Foundations (DF)? Wayne states that we should hold off on the public-facing changes until we have this more fleshed out. Freida notes that there is no defined process for changing a steering division name. But we did approve the change this week in e-vote.
      • Agreement that name change has occurred based on the vote. Ken suggests that we hold off on the website changes until we have more information on what the other steering divisions will do as far as changes, so all changes can be made at once. Austin is fine with that as long as we're not rolling back the overall change.
