Agenda

• Baltimore Tutorial Grid
  • all of the speakers and descriptions have been confirmed

Action: Mary Ann will send the tutorial outline to all speakers for the get updated versions

• Tutorials
  • V3 Project Manager Tutorial
    • feedback from Marc Koehn
      • Audience has shifted from newbie managers to folks who have both positive and negative real world experience in V3 – this creates a shift in the content requirements for the course materials;
      • FHIR as a project / change vector places some of the V3 discussions on a difficult footing, particularly for management oriented individuals who are trying to understand where HL7 is heading – I think we need some clear guidance / slides on how to present the “change risk” that FHIR represents against existing V3-based standards initiatives;
      • The scheduling of the PM/V3 (i.e. high level) course on Tuesday (i.e. after the general V3 intro course(s)) creates a suboptimal situation for management folks who go to the detailed stuff on Monday and then attend the overview on Tuesday. Certainly for anyone who wants to go to both should go to the V3 implementation overview FIRST and more detailed V3 tutorials SECOND; we may want to address that in future scheduling;
    • not scheduled for Baltimore
