Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

  1. Introduction of visitors (including declaration of interests), Brian Pech, Robert Dieterle and John Feikema observing.
  2. Agenda review and approval - Bob Dieterle asks about the Attachments OOC ballot. Place it up front.
  3. Ballot OOC timing. Typical ballot cycle is basis of ballot desktop. Ballot signup now needs to close when ballot opens for voting. Ballot signup moved to same as announcement for 30 days available. March 17 would be end of OOC ballot and March 18-27 ends the signup for regular ballot cycle pools. Bob reports that the delay if pushed to May cycle would be a problem. Don asks for one week to explore an alternate approach; can we revisit the issue on the 17th. Cannot open OOC earlier - it needs 30 day window for announcement. OOC ballot is to open Feb 14 for HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: Consolidated-CDA Additional Attachment Templates, Release 1.
    1. Don notes he can add the May pools to the Feb OOC ballot cycle when the ballot announcement goes out and re-name the ballot cycle. Austin moves and Woody seconds the approach. Unanimously approved. OOC ballot will proceed as scheduled and pools approved for May ballot will be added to this desktop cycle.

Management

  1. Federal Initiatives for Quality Measures - Doug Fridsma
    • Computable representation for quality measurement as well as tying to actionable efforts like CDS.
    • MOU signed with UK on quality measurement efforts.
    • Hope to create harmonized version of standards i.e. HeD, HQMF for example. HQMF needs human intervention to be computable. Separating metadata about quality from the expression logic is an approach to be considered.
    • Calvin notes that the existing projects are US Realm - do they need to be changed? With the timeframes as tight as they are Doug suggests that they remain so as they were initiated prior to the signing of the MOU.
    • HQMF data cannot be ingested into a tool without human interpretation. Woody asks if it's an issue of the content of the specification or the representation as a RIM-derived model. Sounds like it's the structure of representation within the specification Woody concludes.
    • Austin notes that HQMF is UV Realm and welcomes the fact that there will be broader international participation.
    • MOU with UK includes quality although MOU with EU also exists.
    • Draft standard through HL7 to receive feedback on normative track is Doug's preferred method though complicated with ISO and JIC. He doesn't think UK will object. They must first agree on what they want to measure and meanwhile HL7 can work on creating parsimonious technical infrastructure (e.g. datatypes issues). He hopes they will have something by September. He suggests periodic check-ins, perhaps monthly or more often as issues arise. Plan on second Monday of each month right now.

  6. Discussion topics:
    • Release levels of documents (Ken)example
      • John Roberts notes that LOI, LRI, eLR and eDOS will be harmonized in the coming years.
      • Austin notes that the ELR R2 provides specificity that the first one did not. Ken notes that R2 does not include everything that was not in R1. Product brief presentation reviewed. Austin suggests PHER work with Don and Lynn on how it is presented on the page.
      • Ken asks if this is a product family/product line discussion as well? Austin notes that the other product families have not been formalized yet.
      • Don Lloyd describes the business logic of the page display elements and cautions careful consideration of changes across all artifacts.
      • R2 replacement (supersede) of R1 reviewed and regulatory citation and use in MU 2 vs MU 3. Austin describes the difference between jurisdictions in the way it is being implemented. Defer issue to PHER to sort out with HQ on representation. John Roberts accepts the action item.
