• Approve Minutes of 2018-08-15_SGB_Conference_Call
  • MOTION to approve: Thom/Austin
  • VOTE: All in favor
    • Austin notes that another thing that came out of the board retreat was an action item for the TSC and CTO to develop a plan for a streamlined, agile portfolio of standards by November 2018. Paul: Do they want a pruning of the artifacts? Wayne: I think the intent is a categorization of the standards - categorize and indicate adoption levels, and put in place infrastructure to start measuring that.
• Action Items
  • Paul to contact Vocab/PA re: approval items balloting at STU in FHIR R3

      • ACTION: Paul and Lorraine to send out with article
      • ACTION: Anne to add link to article in the minutes
• Discussion Topics
  • Baltimore agenda
    • Value set governance – Vocab and UTG are an aspect of HL7 that aren’t going through this group. Need to coordinate more closely and develop needed precepts. Ask Ted to meet with us Friday Q1. Need to decide what we do with redundant terminologies.
    • Vocabulary precepts (with HTA) – consider meeting with them 10-15 min on Sunday
    • Sunday: Need to tie up the BAM stuff and review methodology group survey results on overarching architecture
    • Friday: Look at precepts that need to be developed, especially the one that we intended to do in Cologne from the parking lot.
    • Normative/continuous maintenance in FHIR – precepts and framework
      • ACTION: Anne to ask Grahame if he has a free hour to discuss sometime before the WGM
  • CIMI followup
    • Paul hasn’t attended a call yet, but Paul and Lorraine attended the HSPCC meeting and CIMI was showing signs of life there. SGB may need to weigh in on how we manage joint material developed by CIMI outside of HL7. Discussion over when/if we should stand up the management group. Questions remain regarding international applicability. Stan will do a presentation at the WGM on the state of CIMI.
