• Discussion Topics
  • Austin: The board is not going to give us clear direction on creating a set of agile standards. It’s in our hands to figure out what we’re going to do without damaging the organization.
  • Currency of Value Set Content - from HTA
    • Couple of problems. Almost entirely focused on SNOMED and only seems to apply to normative documents. HTA asked for TSC review and approval, and TSC sent review to us. Needs clarity on how it applies to other value sets and non-normative content.
    • Thom: It seems reasonable but needs some minor tweaks. When we publish expansions they could be marked as informative. Wayne: This came up because the SNOMED agreement expressly instructs us to use the latest version when we ballot standards. But this needs to be simplified and implies we’re going to reballot every five years as opposed to reaffirm. Need to get clear guidance out to work groups.
