  4. Approval items:
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for V3 Nutrition Order Clinical Messages, for OO of SSD SD, cosponsored by Pharmacy and Patient Care of DESD, at Project Insight # 902 and TSC Tracker #2298.
      • Woody clarifies that they intend to be included in the current ballot cycle. Vote: unanimously approved.

      • Woody notes this is scheduled for an out of cycle ballot in August to accommodate MU timelines. Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for Patient Authored Documents, for SDWG of SSD SD, at Project Insight # 900 and TSC Tracker #2300.
      • There are not many people on the project team, and some concern over whether it should be universal realm or US-realm. First ballot is scheduled for January so there is time to recruit participants. Helen moves approval with understanding that it is universal realm project. Mead seconds. Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for QRDA Draft Standard for Trial Use, Release 3, for SDWG of SSD SD, at Project Insight # 210 and TSC Tracker #2301.
      • Discussion ensued regarding the difference to the QRDA Cat II and III documents. They will be separate - Cat I has been worked on for some time and Cat II/III is work going forward. Previously was query health and now they are working on Quality metrics. Vote: Helen abstains, approved 7/0/1.
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for Health Quality Measure Format (HQMF) Specification, Release 2, for SDWG of SSD SD, at Project Insight #508 and TSC Tracker #2302.
      • Helen asks about the concern on how much work the Work Group is taking on, to ensure there are resources and cochairs to manage it. Calvin notes that these are sponsored projects receiving extramural funding. Some work groups' existing members get overwhelmed with the work going on in the funded groups. We may need to talk about this at the TSC at another time; John also notes that the HL7 management team has also discussed this concern.
      • DSTU update to HQMF standard. Vote: Helen abstains, approved 7/0/1
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for QDM-based Health Quality Measure Format (HQMF) Implementation Guide , for SDWG of SSD SD cosponsored by CDS at Project Insight #756 and TSC Tracker #2303.
      • Corresponding Implementation guide is US Realm, out of cycle ballot. Vote: Helen abstains, approved 7/0/1
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for CDA Implementation Guide for Patient Assessments, for SDWG of SSD SD, at Project Insight #381 and TSC Tracker #2304.
      • This is marked US realm in addition to universal realm; as there is US specific content in addition to universal content. Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for HL7/IHE Health Story Implementation Guide Consolidation – additional templates for patient assessment data, for SDWG of SSD SD, at Project Insight #728 and TSC Tracker #2305.
      • Patient Care struck as question marked-co sponsor and moved to interested parties. Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for HL7/OHT Health Ingenuity Exchange Alpha Program Participation, for Tooling WG T3SD, cosponsored by Publishing and Templates WGs at Project Insight #904 and TSC Tracker #2306.
      • Woody describes the OHT collaborative as a potential solution to our artifact repository needs. Publishing in HingX allows control over the IP and does not require that the artifact itself be publicly available. Jane is the principal contact from our side. Woody and others have agreed to work with it but not required to commit volumes of data to it. ArB is also a tester. Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Motion: Approve project scope statement for RIM Certification Test Upgrade, for Education WG of T3SD, cosponsored by MnM at Project Insight #886 and TSC Tracker #2307.
      • Dates are outdated but MnM has already started analysis of differences and Education will update content. Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Calvin leaves the call.
  5. Discussion topics:
    • Approval of FHIR Governance terms of reference
      • Mission and Charter documents reviewed. How do the FHIR governance and management documents align with SAIF based on Thomas Erl's work. The actions of the group seem right but don't use the same terms as Erl. Documents will be reviewed every year anyway. Governance is FGB, Management is FMG, and Methodology would be MnM. Recommendation also that MnM update their M&C to reflect their new responsibility and expectation on governance point development. Woody moves approval and Helen, Charlie and others all seconded. Pat comments that it's important to note that these are learning documents. Vote: Freida abstains, approved 7/0/1.
      • DMPs to be forwarded to the groups for ratification. RACI chart is also a living document to be reviewed and revised as the groups take shape. Next steps is to bring this to the EC for affirmation or potential review by the Board, and then appointments to the FGB and FMG to the TSC. This may be the first example of a formal product line within HL7 and at some point we may wish to write product line organization into the GOM but it's not ready at this time.
    • TSC scheduling of governance discussions separate from management of project approvals
      • TSC is falling behind in dealing with it's governance "tasks" as opposed to it's "management" tasks
      • Governance tasks include finalizing the strategic initiative criteria, DAM and functional model definitions, work group health, etc.
      • Propose dedicating one call a month for these items (deferring project approvals to the next meeting). Alternately we can set up a separate monthly call to deal with this, or extend the existing call once a month.
      • Please consider scheduling and we'll revisit.
    • IGs for publishing to meet MU Stage 2 deadlines in the next couple of weeks (2 CDA IG's and one 2.x IG)
      • Two of the three still wrapping up reconciliation.
      • Asking the TSC to "pre-approve" publication of these IG's once they have otherwise met the publishing requirements including:
      • Reconciliation completed and balloters notified
        • Getting sufficient withdrawal of negatives to pass ballot
        • Final version of document submitted to HL7 for publication
      • TSC gives the CTO or TSC Chair authority to approve publication if the above requirements are met.
      • Helen adds caveat that proposes this process is followed only if the timing requires it. These IGs are DSTUs. Lynn notes that the publication request form/template needs to be also submitted for publication to include product brief information. Helen amends her motion and John agrees. Vote: unanimously approved.
    • Postpone to next week -

Adjourned 11:59 AM EDT.
