  • (LM) principles as a lens to identify risk. Start with identifying risks then can identify precepts

  • (EK) there is a list of risks already identified – but where are they?
  • (EK) found list thought google! Link: http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=20130227_FGB_concall (Link in agenda)
  • (LM) Precept characteristics a bit more than a risk mitigation strategy – but what?
  • (LC) Precepts are: Objectives Standards Policies and Guidelines that address risk
    • A precept is an authoritative rule of action. Precepts are the essence of governance because they determine who has authority to make decisions, establish constraints for those decisions, and prescribe consequences for non-compliance.
    • Precepts codify decision making rules using four “sub-dimensions” or “characteristics describing a given precept”:
      • Objectives, which broadly define a precept and establish its overarching responsibility, authority, and goals
      • Policies, which define specific aspects of a precept and establish decision-making constraints and consequences in terms of permissions, prohibitions, obligations or authorizations
      • Standards, which specify the mandatory formats, technologies, processes, actions, and metrics that people are required to use and carry out in order to implement one or more policies
      • Guidelines, which are non-mandatory recommendations and best practices
    • more discussion:
  • (WB) Policy: what you see on GOM
  • (WB) Standards: what you see in methodology
  • (WB) GOM + FGB establish environment for FMG
  • (LM) Standards for artefacts – struggle with policy here
  • (LM) Policy is Do X or suffer consequences. Standards are definition of X
  • (LM) want to do more than just avoid risk
  • (WB) look at principles and say how they can’t me met = risks (LM) – starter set
  • (WB) how for is objective from a principle we want to achieve?
