    • Education Offering Dashboard
      • This was an action item allocated to me during the WGM in Chicago. The usefulness of the various metrics probably merits additional discussion. Once there is agreement on a 'starter set of metrics' we'll have to create a mechanism to actually get hold of them.
    • Rene has created the statistics wiki page.
    • Number that Rene has on the wiki is not consistent to the actual numbers
  • Focus on HL7 HQ stats first and quality measures.
  • Location included in the statistic as may impact attendance/participation

    • Will bring back more information after meeting with Melva, Sharon and Mary Ann in August

Strategy for HL7 V2 Exam Updates

  • Ted Klein presented on strategy for updating Control Specialist exam to V2.8
  • will look at the statistics on the performance of the questions on the 2.7 exam and look at the non-performing questions and fix these ones
  • Questions from Ted:
    • update to V2.8, v2.8.1 or v2.8.2 -
      • 2.8.1 has been balloted as normative
      • will update to V2.8 - will avoid changes specific to 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 - Education WG agrees with this approach
      • need to determine if in the future we want to want to certify to major releases or minor releases.
    • Approach for updating the test
      • 6 questions identified that could be added to the test (means 6 questions would be removed)
      • 2 things to change/update
      • 2 items to verify in existing questions
      • update questions with incorrect answer rates > 66% and < 5%
      • it was suggested that Ted is much more familiar with the exam and the standard and that if he believes these need to be changed, then do so
      • it was suggested that the changes be vetted with Hans, Tony and Patrick
      • suggested that the exam be reviewed with Sharon
    • Total number of changes will be between 25-30 questions
    • draft of changes to be done by the end of December 2014
    • asked Ted to provide status in the New Year
  • Sharon has reviewed the changes with the committee before final version for the questions
  • Sharon will do a beta test on the questions.
  • PSS will need to update the course
Action:Patrick will create a PSS for the updates to the V2 exams

MLM Certification

  • Suggestion from Virginia for a certification test for "Medical Logic Modules"====
    • Its very stable, self-contained, and people are hired as MLM developers. Several large EHR vendors use MLM as the way of programming custom CDS into their systems. We use it at NYP. A certification in this might look good on a resume
    • Discussion: need more details and consider how it fits with Arden Syntax WG
  • Virginia will reach out to Arden Syntax
Action:Ginny will reach out to the Arden Syntax WG Chair to collaborate with this certification test.
Action:Ginny will try to invite them to the call.
