3. Approve Minutes
   • 2011-08-29_TSC_Call_Agenda VOTE: unanimously approved
   • Block VOTE: Ravi abstains. Approved 6/0/1
     • 2011-09-13 TSC Luncheon Meeting Agenda
     • 2011-09-12 Co-Chairs Meeting Agenda
     • 2011-09-11 TSC Sunday Evening Meeting

4. Review action items –
   • WGM action items
     • Strategic Dashboard criteria metrics recommendations:
       • WGM effectiveness – Patrick
       • Woody will take the Product Quality criteria
       • Requirements traceability and cross-artifact consistency – Austin
       • Industry responsiveness and easier implementation: Ken with John’s help
     • Lynn will set these up as tracker items To-Do. When does the project need to have these criteria defined in order to move forward. Ken thinks we need draft criteria by Oct 31st for review by Thanksgiving with time for review before WGM. Need a reminder for October 24th.
     • Project Services delegated tasks: how the Steering Divisions can use the PBS metrics information to evaluate, capture info on project scope statement to indicate that material was a former realm standard
       • Freida notes that it is on the Project Services’ list of things to work on. Tracking realm will be on the 2012 project scope statement. How to use the metrics, when should that be completed? Let’s have a draft for October 31st.
5. Approval items:
   • Informative Document Publication Request: HL7 Services-Aware Interoperability Framework: Canonical Version, Release 1, for the Architecture Review Board (ArB), at Project Insight # 746, TSC Tracker # 2050.
     • Tony and Charlie address the request. The informative document does not have language about how a particular IG would be judged as compliant. That will have to be added for the DSTU ballot. Ed notes that there are 30 negatives remaining? They have not been notified to withdraw their negative? Perhaps they were not notified through the ballot desktop. Tony and Charlie will address the notification of withdrawal of negatives. All comments have been addressed. The behavior of the ballot desktop tally page was discussed. Tabled until next week.
   • Project Approval Requests:
     • HL7 Behavioral Health Domain Analysis Model, Messages, and CDA Profiles for Financial Management WG at Project Insight # 800 and TSC Tracker # 2045. Cosponsored by CBCC and SDWG

       Calvin addresses the scope statement for SSD SD. Austin’s concern is that it is Realm-specific but it is touching a universal realm CMET. They can use the existing CMET and capture requirements if they find additional requirements for the future for the Universal CMET. Creation of constraints on the UV CMET is acceptable for realm-specific. If they need different elements in the CMET when mapping the message into the CDA model then Success Criteria should be clarified. We could also clarify the scope to indicate balloting to CMETs would be a future project. MOTION: Calvin moves approval with that amended clarification. Patrick seconds.

       VOTE : unanimously approved.

     • HL7/Attachments using CDA Templates for Implementation Guides (based on CCD) for Attachments WG at Project Insight # 805 and TSC Tracker # 2046. Cosponsored by SDWG

       Ed addresses this project for DESD. This is anticipated to produce many templates and will be a long-running project with a timeline forecasted only until January 2013; this is thought to be quite aggressive, but Calvin adds that there is a government constraint. John notes CMS has been sitting on this for 15 years. Calvin notes they will use existing CDA documents where they apply. Additional information at bottom of document requests funding from HL7 so there are other considerations. A budget will need to be submitted to the Finance and Executive Committees. The task list needs more realistic dates. One of the requirements for DESD approval was putting the scope into the most recent template. Lynn will verify this and the updated task dates. Ed moves approval with those caveats, (budget funding goes to Finance for approval, public document to EC, task dates updated) Woody seconds.

       VOTE: unanimously approved.

     • Charlie leaves the call.
     • Guidance on Implementation of Pharmacy Domain Messages for Pharmacy WG at Project Insight #TBD, TSC Tracker # 2047.

       Hugh addresses this project scope from DESD. This guidance can serve as a convenient access point for those who are developing pharmacy messages, or using pharmacy messages as examples. Ravi asks why only a wiki and not an implementation guide. Hugh notes that it will evolve and change on a regular basis and so will not remain timely. Email threads clarifying a particular topic of conversation can be added dynamically. The committee is not opposed to a formal published version at some point but not initially as they’re concerned about content. Ravi asks if this is on ITS R1 or something more widespread. Hugh notes that the timing issue in the current ballot is a separate page on the wiki rather than in the ballot introductory material. A matrix of architectures and process issues will be moved to the wiki instead of the ballot material. Austin has concerns with resurfacing ballot content on the wiki that will circumvent HL7 IP. Taking descriptions of aspects of the standard and putting it on a wiki removes the need to refer to the standard. There are IP assertions on the wiki but more explicit assertions can be made. Ravi would prefer we have a single stream for implementation guidance.

       Vote: unanimously approved.

     • Refactor HL7 Confidentiality Concept Domain, Code System, & Value sets for CBCC at Project Insight ID# 798, (or 529)???) TSC Tracker # 2048. Cosponsored by Security and Vocabulary WGs

       Ed addresses this project for DESD. A revision to current material to provide analysis of current concepts and make distinctions for patient-centric information. They will produce harmonization proposals that will be incorporated into RIM Ballot.
