2. Agenda: no comments
3. Minutes approved by general consent
4. CEO - no report
5. CTO report: HL7 provided comments. Including submissions from the policy committee, EHR WG, Patient Administration. NHS has moved forward to make possible HL7 use of the NHS model design tool. John has asked Jane Curry to put together a plan for adoption. Ravi notes the project has been completed. Tim is working with Jane to identify gaps and needed actions.
6. ArB report: The material for the peer review of the SAIF has not been released due to the pressure of other work. The material is as ready as it will be, and the ARB will coordinate with HQ to deliver this. There is a better idea of what implementation guides will be needed to guide use of SAIF by HL7 developers. The committee hopes that comments on the material to be released will be in hand prior to Rio. There was a question about forms to be used for commenting on the material – Ron will provide the spreadsheets to be used for this purpose. The peer review will be announced on the list servers of the committees within the Foundations SD, and will also be more widely available.
