Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

1. Introduction of visitors (including declaration of interests); Mike Henderson here for Education WG; Brian Pech as observer, Liora Alschuler for greenCDA pub request
2. Agenda review and approval - Austin Kreisler; move approval items having guests to top of discussion.
3. Approve Minutes of 2011-03-14 TSC Call Agenda; DESD abstains (Ed), passed 7/0/1.
4. Approval items:
   • Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement for Education WG of T3SD for Academia Engagement Project at TSC Tracker # 1832, Project Insight ID # 753
     • Mike described the project to evaluate handling of scholarly publications for the academic community. Woody asks if this is a planning project or intends some form of execution? They are exploring how HL7 can support the process rather than how HL7 should implement the process. Ravi asks if the peer review is voluntary or implied service – Mike says they’d be looking at our current peer review mechanisms and how they should resemble or be distinct from academic communities. Peer review would be of publications rather than projects.
   • Vote: unanimously approved.
   • Motion Approve publication request as either Informative (as balloted), or DSTU (as preferred by the Work Group, for 24 months), of greenCDA: An Implementation Methodology for CDA for Structured Documents WG of SSD SD, at TSC Tracker # 1841, and Project Insight ID # 658
     • Liora described the Work Group’s initial intent to ballot as DSTU. She remarked on the recent changes of the IP policy and the progress the Board has made. They didn’t detect the discrepancy until time for publication that it had actually balloted as informative; they wish to provide this for widespread testing and feedback.
     • Lynn notes that HQ’s recommendation is that it be published as it was balloted, as informative. Woody agrees that voters in an informative pool may have a different level of review to the document than they would for a DSTU. He suggests they could bring it forward as DSTU for another cycle. Liora feels the intent is to get some feedback and trial use, and if they decide to bring it to a normative track they will do so at that time.
     • Amended Motion: by Calvin second by Ravi to approve for publication as informative:
     • Vote: unanimously approved.
   • Tabled Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement for ITS of FTSD: Backwards compatible ITS (R2B), at TSC Tracker # 1837, Project Insight ID # 760 to be balloted as Informative
     • HL7 Version 3 Standard: XML Implementation Technology Specification - Wire Format Compatible Release 1 Data Types, Release 1
     • HL7 Version 3 Standard: XML Implementation Technology Specification - V3 Structures for Wire Format Compatible Release 1 Data Types, Release 1

     Austin recounts an email exchange with Gunther that expresses willingness to allow this to move forward as informative. Changes to the project scope were discussed.

     title as proposed for ballot lists Wire Format Compatible Release 1 Data Types, Release 1, but should be Wire Format Compatible Release 1 Data Types Release 2; Austin defers title discussion to later topic.

     • Amended Motion: Woody moves to accept scope statement with changes as on-screen; second by Ken.
     • Vote: unanimously approved.
   • Submitted for TSC Consideration: TSC Ballot Approval Summary for May 2011 Ballot Cycle, at TSC Tracker # 1846
     • Name changes for XML ITS
     • Woody moves and Ken seconds to approve titles excepting the XML ITS items.
     • Lynn notes we have pending issue to advise on recommended ballot types for informative, normative and include EHR-S FM at May WGM
     • Vote: unanimously approved.
   • Tabled Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement for Government Projects of DESD - HL7 Readiness to Support Meaningful Use, at TSC Tracker # 1636, Project Insight ID# 712. (no ballot deliverable).
     • Other mechanisms for working with the National Initiative work have been developed. This project is no longer really needed. John added that the SDO box on the S&I Framework chart has been named to Accenture. Ravi asks about the IP rights of HL7; John reports that Chuck Jaffe and Doug Fridsma have been negotiating and, for a start, ONC will not be giving away HL7’s IP.
     • Ed moves we should recommend to the Work Group to withdraw and Woody seconds.
     • Vote: unanimously approved. Action Item: Lynn will inform Govt Projects we recommend they withdraw
