Clinical Quality Information Co-chairs

Page Purpose

This wiki page is designed by the CQI co-chairs to assist them in the management of the CQI Workgroup activities.

The Process Improvement (PIC) Workgroup maintains the HL7 Co-Chair Handbook. The Handbook wiki page maintains the current links to items like the:

HL7 Bylaws
HL7 Governance and Operations Manual (GOM)
HL7 Organization and Process documentation (includes organization chart with explanation of Steering Divisions (SD), WGs, and Board appointed committees)
Ballot Management, Project Management, Publishing, Workgroup Management, Working Group Meeting (WGM) Management, and Other documents; including:
Project Scope Statement (PSS), Notice of Intent to Ballot (NIB), and Publication Requests
See the Co-chair Utility Page/Procedures for more useful links

The HL7 Technical Steering Committee (TSC) oversees and coordinates the technical efforts contributed by the HL7 participants to ensure that the efforts of the Working Group (WG) are focused on the overall HL7 mission. TSC will provide input and operationalize the strategic initiatives.. The TSC also reviews and provides oversight to projects during the approval process. This allows the TSC to identify gaps and overlaps between projects of the Working Group and the strategic initiatives.
- CQI is a member of the Domain Experts Steering Division.
