Agenda

• Roll call -
• Agenda Review
• Approve minutes of 20140526 FGB concall
• Action Item review:
  • Follow up with Provider candidate Catherine;
  • dave & woody review ‘principles of FHIR doc’ in next 2 days (woody "ok")
  • pass to FMG by week end for their review by tuesday am (before next FMG meeting
  • Lynn will draft summary position on conformance testing of FHIR for review and adoption of a formal response
    • FGB is reluctant to see FHIR DSTU prototypes be used to grant certificates rather than serving to define and guide development of full conformance testing in future.
    • FHIR's fundamental principle of scalability infers that conformance must be to a constrained scope in a wide range of interoperability spaces
      • environment (within a small clinic to across a country or around the world)
      • implementation environments (institutional, community, home health, etc.)
      • architectures (centralized/distributed, open/closed, tight/loose)
      • data loads (sms communication in the developing world to gigabyte/terrabyte EHR data dumps)
      • communication frequencies (daily/weekly updates to sub-second automated device data updates)
    • While conformance to the FHIR DSTU in terms of "shalls" and "shoulds" would be a useful exercise, any certification of conformance is not meaningful if the specification to which they have conformed is fully optional.
• Updates to Fundamental_Principles_of_FHIR (review and set plan to formally adopt)
• Issues passed down from TSC
  • Governance Issues in re FHIR Registry - particularly:
    • Distinction between registering an item onto an open list vs. Assigning identifiers and registering their assignment

    • Determine whether HL7, in instituting charges for the OID registry, means to include a fee for retrieving registrations from the registry, or only for adding items thereto. And, if the latter wjat is the intended distinction between: "internal" addition requests, "member" addition requests, and "outside" addition requests?

    • Built-in protections against BOT submissions

    • Expectations for "automated curation" surrounding elements that carry identifiers in HL7-managed namespaces, particularly uri: http://hl7.org/fhir ... and OIDs: 2.16.840.1.113883...
• Updates to FHIR_Governance_Precepts
• FMG update -
• Methodology update-
• Next steps: Define and Resource other Governance processes.
