Parking Lot

Discussion Items(s) TBD

Conformance usage to override required message elements in the base specification

placeholder below:

Moving the Conformance chapter out of the HL7 v2 Standard

• Need to continue working on the position statement pros/cons
• Wait until moving to v2+ before making changes. Need to formalize the position statement so we can elevate it up to the steering committee.
• Rob will clean up the position statement, based on the notes from the September meeting, so we can have a formal review.
• Discuss revising the message profile/xml/json representation based on best practices developed by NIST

Test Data Categorizations

• Testing associated to specific test cases. Need to review the categories.

V2 Basic Test Cases

• Discussion on how to define basic HL7 v2 basic test cases for verifying support for basic encoding in Chapter 2

Request for Feedback on Project to Document HL7 v2 Interfaces

• Present and Discuss Effort to Profile and Document current HL7 V2 Interfaces (e.g. Immunization Information Systems)
