Governance

• No topics today

Management

1. Review action items –
   • Austin and Woody will draft language for a recommendation on consideration of HTTP compliance to US conformance criteria on EHRs for character set display. See HL7 TSC review of EHR Language Display - Austin suggests forwarding this once endorsed to the project team on EHR usability guidelines (PI#995) below. Plan to include this discussion at WGM.
   • Jean will work with Dave on what the number of cycles for the rolling average on which the WGM Effectiveness improvement threshold is measured. Jean and Dave met last week. Jean is further working on an overall Working Group Meeting health metric rather than US vs non-US and reporting on tutorials e.g. students per tutorial.
   • Woody joins
   • Austin will develop new recommendations for WGM agenda icons/descriptions to match the governance framework by the WGM. No progress; will work on this week.
2. Approval items for discussion:
   • Project Scope Statement of Usability Guidelines for EHR Systems at Project Insight 995 and TSC Tracker 2596 by EHR WG of SSD SD and cosponsored by CIC of DESD.
     • Andy, Lorraine both flagged this for discussion. Has been discussed in OO and ArB. Discussion did not happen in Steering Division with the e-vote. Neither Calvin nor Pat available to discuss the SSD SD vote.
     • Woody asks if they can provide us with a couple examples of the existing usability guidelines they refer to in the project scope. If other such guidelines exist why is HL7 getting involved, described by Freida and Lorraine. Examples such as Microsoft's are not specific but Melva has found recommendations for allergies and other healthcare interoperability recommendations. We will invite Don Mon and John Ritter to discuss on Wednesday lunch.
   • Project Scope Statement of Pilot SAIF ECCF-ISM as part of a Publication Request for Project Services of T3SD and cosponsored by the TSC, ArB, others TBD as they pilot, at Project Insight 996 and TSC Tracker 2599
     • Austin referred this to discussion. He discussed with MnM and while the WG agreed to cosponsor, he found Lloyd opposed to the project as the Value proposition was insufficient. Since MnM had a project for artifact definition that died for lack of interest so perhaps SAIF/ECCF was not found useful.
     • Need a discussion in ATL under requirements traceability to tie this pilot project to how we implement requirements traceability.
     • Woody notes he was not on last week's MnM call implies complexity to get in the way of implement-ability and we need to clearly describe the value proposition.
     • Lorraine recommends evaluating it as heavy-weight versus light-weight process and we need to establish the helpful pieces of the SAIF implementation guide.
   • Project Scope Statement of Arden Syntax Version 3, at Project Insight 771 and TSC Tracker 2600 for Arden Syntax WG of SSD SD.
     • Can a PSS for the next release of a Normative standard defer the question of backwards compatibility to a later stage of the project or does it need to be determined up front in the initial PSS?
     • if it's not backwards-compatible is it truly incremental? PSS indicates the backwards compatible issue is still being considered by the WG. If it is backwards-compatible it should be named Arden Syntax 2.10; if not, then 3.
     • Woody notes that he thinks it's ok if a project scope request can be unsure of whether they are backwards compatibile - but should allow the project to continue. John suggests we make their approval to ballot contingent on coming back and describing the backwards compatibility decision to the TSC and the naming also contingent. Project name says Version 3 but is not related to HL7 Standard V3. If backwards compatibility is available through a transform.
     • This was not put to an e-vote, so motion to approve given the recommended changes to add additional statement to 3.a regarding the version name being dependent upon the backwards compatible decision and amendment to project name to Arden Syntax next version moved by Jean and seconded by Woody. Unanimously approved. Karen will need to submit a PINS on it once the backwards compatibility decision defines its name.
3. Approval items: e-vote last week
