  5. CEO
  6. CTO: John published newsletter article to AMIA last night. Covers the meeting schedule and SAIF. Attended monthly HIT Standards meeting with Jaffe. ONC is distracted by requirement in the reform bill on creating a website for insurance plan registrations for high-risk groups. Issue of Attachments will come up in August or September and HL7 will be asked to testify. CMS doesn’t want to do it, pushed to ONC, changed date to 2014 instead of 2011. Probably a general query rather than specific attachment types. And John finally got his visa to go to Rio.
  7. ArB- Charlie notes the peer review documents have gone out. Question asked of Charlie by Ken Buetow for a one-to –three bullet point comparison of SAIF and NIEM. Would HL7 folks like to review? Woody notes that NIEM doesn’t work with anything modern. Charlie notes if you take the methodology and apply to modern static semantics and associated behavioral semantics it would make sense. Woody found it defined a collaborative process for applying and adopting standards. Otherwise it’s an old data-dictionary process. Charlie suggests to forget the content developed by NIEM, and bind the idea to some formal semantics. John notes that he discussed this with Doug Fridsma some weeks ago but Ken was not in the conversation, to take NIEM and replace its information model with the RIM. Should HL7 take a formal position? Until ONC announces the process they’re going to use with NIEM we don’t know where we fit in. One sheet overview, reviewed by ArB with the HL7 position would be helpful. John and Charlie Mead will work on it.

    • TSC asked by HQ to determine a policy for doling out the limited # of projectors and/or GoToMeeting sessions; HQ renting 10 projectors. Charlie suggests he and John discuss on Friday and come up with a recommendation for the TSC to discuss next Monday.
