| |
| − | a. Keith – suggested geographic groups with monthly meetings. Provide access to HL7 experts, use of HL7 materials. Could use a franchise model
| |
| − |
| |
| − | b. UK Person – ITK is very confusing. Need support for entry level developers
| |
| − |
| |
| − | c. Julie Crouse – Asked if this was the same as tutorials. John – Said there would still be tutorials
| |
| − |
| |
| − | d. Julie – Likes virtual because it is real time. Many users will not be able to travel
| |
| − |
| |
| − | e. Rene – Need an in-person meeting. Phone meetings are hard to schedule. Have out of cycle meetings. Some topics are locally relevant. Should piggyback on other meetings
| |
| − |
| |
| − | f. Keith – Could have regional and national meetings
| |
| − |
| |
| − | g. UK person – Clinicians do not have time to meet during the week. Would need to hold weekend meetings.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | h. Nathan – Keep dues small
| |
| − |
| |
| − | i. Rene – There is overlap with the affiliates. User Groups are a large part of what they do.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | j. Julie – Should do an inventory of what is out there
| |
| − |
| |
| − | k. Nathan – Immunization Registry Association – Would like to know about real world experiences?

| − |
| |
| − | l. Julie – Should have a list of other organizations that we would like to work with
| |
| − |
| |
| − | m. NQF person – NQF is also working on a user group. This is important to those who are new to standards.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | n. Vertical vs. Areas of Interest
| |
| − |
| |
| − | o. John – Should have both
| |
| − |
| |
| − | p. Rene – Have Connectathon at user group meetings.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | q. ???? – may need different approaches for different geography, e.g., rural
| |
| − |
| |
| − | r. Discussion of bundling other benefits with user group membership indicated strong preference to NOT bundle benefits to keep costs low.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | s. Other points
| |
| − |
| |
| − | i. User groups should provide feedback to WGs
| |
| − | ii. Dues should be low
| |
| − | iii. Need to determine the role of vendors
| |
| − | iv. Can provide examples of successes and failures
