Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

1. Visitors: Patrick Pyette of CBCC regarding Privacy Policy Reference Catalogue
2. Agenda review and approval - John Quinn
   • Move DESD first to accommodate visitor
3. Domain Experts – Austin Kreisler
   • Motion: to approve project request for Patient Care WG - Care Plan Topic; continuation of work, at TSC Tracker # 1530
     • Discussion: Helen notes as a continuation of work, it's really an update. This project is continuation of objectives not completed during the first project. PMO went ahead and added a new project ID. New Project ID might be confusing, please add to existing project. Dave Hamill provided a comment that the old scope was such an old format it would be more relevant going forward.
     • Vote: Unanimously approved.
   • Motion: to approve project request for CBCC WG - Privacy Policy Reference Catalogue, at TSC Tracker # 1531
     • Discussion: scope says it will use a structured, natural language - what does that mean? Patrick notes it is identifying policies and additionally attempting to use a structured natural language to codify policies so people can read them and yet be directly executable by something that supports an access control system. Helen notes as universal realm project on normative track, is there enough consensus on a universal level? Significant level of common elements to take pieces from the catalogue to be used for jurisdictional privacy policy. Much like the EHR FM. Publishing as a document initially with OIDs to identify the top-level policies. Don't have the transforms into the executable policy language in-scope. Would be a follow-on project. Life cycle management, Ravi asks, who will maintain exposure and management. It will not catalogue at jurisdictional level but a set of all policies. Is this more about abstract modeling requirements? It's kind of a new product. There are policies as well as vocabulary referenced. How does this relate to WS policy asks Charlie Mead? WS policy doesn't deal with policy content itself, but a grammar for publishing policies. This deals with policy content itself. You might map them into logical representations using something like WS Policy. Helen moves to amend the scope for an early deliverable be some type of white paper, communication or explanation of what the project is trying to do, detailed scope and deliverables and intent for use. Patrick agrees. Proposal amendment accepted. Woody's concern was with Security work group involvement and they are co-sponsor but it did not come to the SD for approval.
     • Vote: Unanimously approved with amendment.

      • Have the implementations occurred for PHR? Implementation of PHR is profiles conformant to it - have those profiles been created? Can we get a paragraph description of the successful implementations of the DSTU? Calvin feels we could be able to ask... perhaps we seek such an assessment when they produce the normative product? Woody feels we should not make such a process change on this conference call. Helen asks for Action item on future discussion of expectation of normative ballot items having previous DSTU to have discussion on previous implementation review. John notes he'll discuss with Charlie McCay on the next Friday planning call.
    • Vote: Unanimously approved.

    • TSC preparations - Lynn Laakso

Lynn states that HQ is in the process of developing communications to the Working Group. Early bird rates to be extended to South American affiliates for this week. John read from an email from Mark to South American affiliate chairs on extending deadline. Helen asks if could be extended to everyone.
