Approval of Minutes:: Motion was proposed by Caroline and seconded by Virginia. Minutes were unanimously approved.
Education Advisory Council Structure : Sadhana informed the group that the Board had approved converting the Education Work Group (EWG) to an advisory council. The Board also at their last meeting had approved the structure of the advisory council recommended by the Director of Education (DOE). As laid out in the Education Advisory Council structure approved by the board, Sadhana invited the chairs of the EWG and members who have consistently attended the bi-weekly teleconference to serve on the advisory committee. Members who have participated in the bi-weekly teleconference are Virginia Lorenzi, Diego Kaminker, Fernando Campus, Matt Blackmon, & John Ritter. Caroline who attends these meetings is not a member and hence not eligible to serve on the council. Sadhana invited Caroline would to participate in these meetings and provide feedback. Gora Datta also agreed to serve on the council. The group agreed that we need some representatives from the FHIR education team. Sadhana will talk to Grahame about adding some FHIR SMEs to the team.
May 2018 WGM Timeline Gora suggested that Sadhana as the DOE set and enforce deadlines for the May 2018 Working Group Meeting in Cologne, Germany. It was agreed that a template containing standardized sections for all tutorials would be helpful. Sadhana agreed to create a template.
September 2018 WGM Tutorial Topics Suggestions
Sadhana reiterated that she would like to have a rough draft of the grid before the May meeting. She pointed out that it is important to not just consider topics but also make sure that the SME knows how to provide a description of the tutorial, write learning outcomes and objectives and be able to teach. The pros and cons of offering workshops at WGM were discussed. Sadhana agreed to create and share a Google doc. for brain storming ideas.
Website - Value Proposition Sadhana expressed concern that nowhere on the HL7 web site do we state the value proposition for any of the educational offerings. For example, why does on-site training cost twice as much as online training. Sadhana sought help from the Education Advisory Council to write out the value proposition for all the educational offerings.
Partnerships - Ideas Sadhana sought feedback on whether HL7 could partner with other trainers to offer a wider variety of training. Some members of the group opined that historically HL7 has been hesitant to partner with other companies.
