Minutes

• Called to order at 1:06 pm
• ONC Feedback to HL7 re: FHIR
  • Johnathan reviews prepared slides with the issues that have been identified.
    • Timeline: what is the actual realistic target? Paul: will check on what best guesses are for real dates on FMG tomorrow. Lorraine: if all the issues can't be addressed by 8/31, can we triage them to the update? 8/31 is the deadline for changes to the core content. Discussion over the potential delay of ballots connected to DSTU 2 publishing. Anne to add to agenda for next week: FHIR timeline updates.
    • Can people still provide comments in gforge? Paul advises to put them in; Lorraine states the plan was to look at things on a case by case basis. Paul responds that decisions on issues are noted in the tracker items.
    • Overall process concerns: If something is put in gforge and addressed by a WG, tracker is closed but that doesn't mean the issue has actually been resolved. Discussion over roles of different groups in resolving these issues and breakdowns in communication. FGB/TSC should consider how we address this breakdown in the communication cycle. Keith Boone suggests WGs coordinating with their FMG liaison. Paul: there are issues with culture that we need mechanisms in place to counter.
• ACTIONS:
  • Make FGB & TSC aware of the general issues to help balance them out. Ed will talk to Ken; Lorraine will take back to FGB. Part of this are symptoms of insufficient separation of duties.
    • Next issue: general architecture. Keith: the right people need to be signed up for the communication lists and they need to monitor the communications. Johnathan suggests mailing lists may not be the most effective communications. Ed: Argonaut group has had similar comments that communications are lacking. It might help if we had a page somewhere that describes to people the different ways they could be engaged in FHIR as an implementer, developer, interested party, balloter, etc. Johnathan: It would be helpful for the WGs too, not just outsiders. Paul: also we should direct them on how to escalate an issue if they are not satisfied with the process. Discussion over misunderstandings over the 80/20 concept.
• Adjourned at 1:59 pm
