Agenda

Tutorials

• SAIF Webinar

  • expecting recording to be done in December
• UML
  • we have all material from JD

• Request from Security WG to add their "free" tutorial to the Tutorial Grid for May 2014

Action: Mary Ann will send tutorial specification and determine requirement

• Request from US Domain task force to create an SDO Class for Government Contractors (Keith Boone)
  • The class would describe standards development practices of SDO's and how contractors can better engage with SDOs. While we would certainly focus a good portion of content on engagement with HL7, we have other SDO constituencies within HL7 (CDISC, DICOM and IHE) that can add to the material making it even more valuable.
  • If there is enough interest during the call in developing such a course, we could begin a Project Scope statement are start developing the material for delivery perhaps in May.

Action:  Melva to send back to Keith - if they believe there is enough interest - develop PSS and Tutorial Specification and submit for approval

Project Approval

• File:HL7 Project Scope Statement v2013-ARB-SAIF-Tutorial-20130825v3.doc
  • Motion to approve Patrick - seconded by Rik Carried (4/0/0)
  • next steps ARB will submit to TSC.
