Governance

  1. Discussion topics:
    • Standards scoring followup (Hans)
      • They discussed with ARB the potential dimensions and liked the idea and suggested an approach that the cochair meeting Monday night to review with all cochairs and request volunteers to help out and identify some measures to pilot some of the standards associated with ONC Certification program and NPRM 2015. Hans suggests it become a TSC project cosponsored by ARB and work with PAC and gauge interest with cochairs. Motion to accept Hans' proposal by Andy/Paul. Approved 7/0/1 with Calvin abstaining.
    • New Work Group formation request for BRIDG (Biomedical Research Integrated Domain Group) Working Group request to join DESD at TSC Tracker 2880 (John Roberts/Melva Peters)
      • Ed Helton describes the background. JohnR moves approval seconded by Jean. Woody asks if the BRIDG model will continue to evolve in this WG as an HL7 standard or NCI or CDISC. Ed notes it was developed jointly under an MOU with HL7 and CDISC. It is now balloting in ISO as part of the JIC. NCI has invested a great deal. FDA's CDER is also involved (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research). The IP is technically HL7 and CDISC. Woody notes he would like to have clarity on the IP and suggest that BRIDG continue to be positioned as a DAM and clarify its relationship to other activities in HL7. Woody's concern is over a work group that has a single artifact as its focus; Paul echoes his concern over its long term viability. Ed agrees to take Woody's recommendations to the WG. Austin notes that precedence for tight focus in the Clinical Statement WG. JohnR notes that there appears to be broad support. Vote: unanimously approved. Paul clarifies that they are interim cochairs with an election anticipated in May and the eligible voters will need to be on the listserv one week prior to the WGM. It is also recommended to take a vote in RCRIM to officially transfer the artifacts to the new WG. RCRIM would probably need to modify their mission and charter.
    • Comment-only ballot PSS requirement; should we have a PSS through approval channels for comment-only ballots. To provide visibility to the activity Ken feels we should. Paul agrees. Tony notes that the ARB has had items referred to them from the TSC that did not have a PSS for which they were asked to sponsor a ballot. Freida notes that we had an issue with IHE content as well. Discussion ensued on support in the GOM and education requirements to inform the community. To continue to be consistent with the GOM and the effort to socialize our projects that the TSC requires there be PSS for comment only. Moved by Freida and seconded by Paul; unanimously approved. Ken will ask Andrea to put it into the e-News and will discuss it at the cochairs dinner at the WGM.

Management

  1. Approval items:
    • FMG-FGB appointments (FGB: Lorraine Constable and Dave Shaver) - unanimously approved by general consent
    • HL7 Nominations Committee appointments (candidates: Freida Hall and Melva Peters) - unanimously approved by general consent
    • Project approval request for CDS Knowledge Sharing Implementation Guide for CDS WG Of SSD SD cosponsored by CQI of DESD at Project Insight #931 and TSC Tracker 3069
      • concern raised that ITS should be added as a cosponsor as the proposed material has an ITS within the scope. Paul notes that it is coming to ITS as a vote for cosponsorship tomorrow. Austin moves that it be approved contingent on ITS agreeing to cosponsor. He adds they are planning on an unballoted update to their DSTU with this project. Postpone one week to allow ITS to comment.
    • Project approval request for HL7 Clinical Document Architecture, Release 3.0 for SDWG of SSD SD cosponsored by Templates, Vocabulary, ITS, M&M of FTSD and Clinical Statement of SSDSD at Project Insight #477 and TSC Tracker 3067
      • Jean referred this with the question would this be CDA R2.1 or CDA R3. Last Thursday SDWG voted to shut down the previous R3 project and institute this one instead, notes Austin. They wish to move forward with a reduced scope but they will still include non-backwards compatible wire format changes to substantiate a full release. It will need to be documented as a new project not an update to 477. Austin moves approval of the project seconded by Calvin. Unanimously approved.
