    • (Information included for reference purpose: QI Core STU 3.2 Update was available for two-weeks Members Only review, the link to the specification: QI Core STU 3.2. HL7 wiki comment page was setup with instructions for submitting comments and summary of the updates that were incorporated: This STU update to the QI-Core profiles incorporates updates to the US-Core profiles, version 1.1.0. Specifically, it changes the QICore-Encounter and QICore-PractitionerRole profiles to be derived from the new USCore-Encounter and USCore-PractitionerRole profiles, rather than directly from the base resources, as well as changes the QICore-Coverage profile type element to bind to the SOP Payer value set.)

Juliet agreed with adding the amendment to the motion. Approve/Abstain/Oppose: 20/0/0



  • Floyd reviewed the San Antonio Jan 2019 Working Group Agenda



  • Floyd asked group for anything to add before adjourn
    • Rob McClure made an announcement that NLM has announced yesterday the launch of Intensional Value Set Definition Functionality in the VSAC Authoring Tool.
      • (From the NLM annoucement: Through the VSAC Authoring user interface, value set authors can algorithmically define value sets with logical rule-based Boolean clauses and hierarchy operators, leveraging the structure and hierarchies of terminologies. Logically-defined value sets, combined with the value set author’s guidance, can incorporate future changes as terminologies evolve to add or remove concepts, increasing efficiency and accuracy of value set creation and maintenance.)
    • Bryn told the group that both the CDS Hook and FHIR Path ballot reconciliation packages are posted. Notifications should have been received for those who need to withdraw their negative votes.
    • Yan mentioned that Viet's presentation slide deck from Thursday's DEQM meeting (12/20) was uploaded to the CQI WG document area, the link to the slide deck is included in this meeting minutes.
