Work Group Health Review

DESD WG Health

• The review of our work group health notes some groups in Red, and several others showing yellow. Diane noted she had found an error in CIC’s ranking – she had it corrected. We find another possible error having to do with harmonization meeting participation.

PBS Metric Review

DESD PBS Metrics

• We looked at the PBS metrics – these address the procedures surrounding projects. Note, if you have any questions, contact Dave Hamill.

New Business

Updates to Work Group DMPs, M&C, SWOTS and Interim Co-Chairs

HCD M&C

• We have an updated Mission & Charter from Healthcare Devices. Changes include giving more emphasis to work with FHIR, names of committees the group is working with were revised to track their organizational changes.
  • Motion for approval from Ken Pool, seconded by Ed Tripp. The approval was unanimously approved.

Action:  Melva will forward to Lynn at HQ

Project Scope votes

Clinical Genomics DIM PSS

• The TSC has discussed programs that came forward, since they seemed to be mis-labeled, e.g., a logical model portrayed as a DAM. The TSC plans to provide more scrutiny. The clinical genomics group is concerned that its work be allowed to go forward, and that they not be penalized for the content of the work they carry out.
• Much of this interest was generated by a proposal from clinical decision support that was voted as a DAM – but really should be considered to be a “logical model’. The question was asked – what is a logical model. Answer – the logical model lays down rules for an implementation, it has to be compatible with – make use of “RIM speak”. Annon notes that, in the clinical genomics group, they have all flavors of HL7 implementation – V2, V3, CDA, and expect PHIR. They wanted something to allow harmonization of that. We generally agree this could be called a “DIM”
• Somewhat related – the history of the IHE Healthy weight ballot. Concern expressed about the idea of a ballot that we cannot comment on. This project was moved from PHER to the TSC, and there are discussions (a new task force) on how to address this general concern.
• In any case, Clinical Genomics has a proposal for a Domain Information Model, that will be a UML model to address requirements within the clinical genomics demain. Mead suggests that the group consult with M&M. We also suggest that the plan not include multiple normative ballot rounds. The group will revise the proposal, and bring it up for eVote.

DESD Governance

• Melva had sent out an updated Mission/Charter document for DESD. It includes SAIF updates, removal of PSWG, improved language. Motion for approval from Scott Robinson, seconded by Rob Savage. The approval was unanimously approved.

DESD M&C

• There were some editorial changes to clarify the language. Remove the list of WGs from this document, and refer to the Mission and Charter.
  • Motion for approval from Ken Pool, seconded by Anita Walden. The approval was unanimously approved.

DESD DMP

• Melva had sent out an updated SWOT document for DESD. It addresses some additional threats: new co-chairs, low votes on eBallots. SAIF is noted as a threat. Ed asks for more detail. SAIF seems a threat because the steering division members do not feel they understand it. We take out size of the group as a weakness.
  • Motion for approval from Rob Savage, seconded by Floyd Eisenberg. The approval was unanimously approved.

DESD SWOT

AOB

• One of the WGs (Floyd Eisenberg speaking) had the experience that a government member tried to get a project through, but did not provide announcement of the content to the entire membership – just to its three contractors. It did not feel like an open transparent process. They would like some help from HL7 leadership. Ken Pool notes that he feels he is seeing more and more material brought from outside. Mead feels this is a phenomenon that has been going on through the life of HL7.
