  4. Approve Minutes of 2011-12-19 TSC Call Agenda; Mead abstains; approved 7/0/0 with Ed carrying the DESD vote
  5. Review action items
  6. Approval items:
    • Motion: Approve Project scope statement for Vocabulary WG of FTSD: HL7 Common Terminology Services Release 2 (CTS2) Implementation Guide, at Project Insight # 839, and TSC Tracker # 2135; Tony describes the project. Freida notes the TSC was asked for advice on the Modeling, Publishing, and Vocabulary facilitators. Shouldn't they ask the MnM and Publishing groups for facilitation? Austin asks if they were asking the TSC to assign people to these roles? Ed suggests they call on the facilitators listed on the web site. Calvin suggests they may have been asking whether they needed these roles to be filled for the PSS. This was met with general assent.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve Informative Document Publication Request for for Orders & Observations WG (OO) of Structure and Semantic Design Steering Division (SSD SD) HL7 Version 2.6 Implementation Guide: Blood Bank Donation Services (US Realm), Release 1, at Project Insight # 521, and TSC Tracker # 2138
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement for EHR WG of Structure and Semantic Design Steering Division (SSD SD), Electronic Submission of Medical Documentation(ESMD)-RMES Profile Support,, at Project Insight # 830, and TSC Tracker # 2139; Pat describes the project. Voting in the Steering Division incorporated consideration with S&I framework and CMS awareness. Ed asks if they're looking to package up existing documents or define a new document structure. Pat thinks they're packaging; Ed notes that the regulatory submission process is similar, and the RPS standard currently in ballot may give them a jump start. Pat asks if it incorporates RMES; Ed notes that they have a two-way message to review the same structure for auditability. John adds that testimony at NCVHS hearings in November addressed some of these topics and that testimony needs to be reviewed in conjunction with this effort. ONC has incorporated that testimony. Freida notes the ballot intent area needs correction. Mead suggests that InM should be involved.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve Project Scope Statement for Clinical Genomics WG (CG) of Structure and Semantic Design Steering Division (SSD SD) Cytogenetic Lab Results, at Project Insight # 663, and TSC Tracker # 2140
      • This had gotten lost; needed to come through for approval by SSD SD and needed approval for TSC because there is something in the ballot now of a similar name. Freida asks if the implementers for DSTU as individuals are appropriate or did they need to be organizations.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve Project scope statement for Clinical Interoperability Council (CIC), cosponsored by RCRIM, of the Domain Experts Steering Division (DESD): Schizophrenia Domain Analysis Model , at Project Insight # 840, and TSC Tracker # 2141; Ed describes the project.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve DSTU Publication Request SOA WG, and cosponsored by Implementable Technology Specification of Foundation and Technology Steering Division (FTSD): HL7 Version 3 Specification: hData Record Format, Release 1, at Project Insight # 783, and TSC Tracker # 2142; Austin notes that the reconciliation activities have been completed and some withdrawals have come through.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve Out of Cycle Meeting Request for RIMBAA WG, of Foundation and Technology Steering Division (FTSD): For March 2012, at http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=RIMBAA_201203_Agenda, and TSC Tracker # 2145; Freida asks if it's of concern that they are approving the minutes of the WGM at the OOC meeting? Woody assures her this has been their modus operandi for some time.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
    • Request for Review/approval of the 2012 Project Scope Statement Template and Project Approval Process Documents (TSC projects and Work Group projects), at Project Insight # 835, TSC Tracker # 2146
      • Dave describes some of the changes to the Project Scope Statement and notes that additional change suggestions have been received that may necessitate an interim release. Lynn asks for the interpretation of turning on track changes in newer versions of Word. Austin notes that the ballot level guidance document needs to be referred to or incorporated into the project scope appendix guidance. Austin asks who will be responsible for the internal use of the Strategic Initiative Reference? Dave suggests that it would be those that are responsible for Project #799 for those projects that will be part of the Strategic Initiative Dashboard. Ken suggests that it read "for TSC use only". Austin notes it may need to be added as part of the TSC project approval process. Lynn asks if the Work Groups are no longer filling it out does it need to be on the PSS? How will we manage tracking changes to this field asks Helen? Since an interim release is pending we can address further changes at that time.
      • Tony moves, Calvin/Helen second endorsement of the Project Scope Statement document with the changes identified.
      • Vote: Unanimously approved.
      • Reviewing the TSC Project Approval Process, the role of the ArB as email recipient of PSS in Step 5 is to note that Charlie says the ArB is interested and engaged with the approval process. The meeting is out of time; can Dave join the TSC on Saturday afternoon, perhaps Q3 or maybe Q4? Postpone this discussion to Saturday.
    • Austin will discuss with Ken offline his thoughts on his assignment for the Dashboard discussion at Saturday's meeting.
