The agenda is as follows:

• Updates – Project Status for RPS R2 activities (if any)
• Review of RPS R2 Ballot Materials
• Review of the RPS R3 Project Scope Statement
• Other topics?

Review of the RPS R3 Project Scope Statement

• Discussion of the ISO processes need to be understood further to understand if ISO Fast Track or JIC process; there is a concern within the device community that there will not be enough participation among the international device community if the standard is taken through the ISO Fast Track.
  • The following suggested text will be edited by Geoff Williams and redistributed to the RPS listserve for final comments:"These communication activities are also seen as a precursor to the activity to move RPS R3 into the ISO standard for all regulatory products. The project will explore the potential paths for the ISO process to meet the needs of all stakeholders."
  • Need to seek guidance from the experts at HL7 and/or ISO to get further guidance on the processes and implication of participation of all of the regulated product areas. Need to seek this information in Phoenix WGM. Any informal information
    • Joe Cipollina, Karin Sailor, Mark Gray and Marti Velezis are to complete this action item during the WGM in January. Any others interested in the topic should contact one of us. This group will communicate any findings and/or formal discussions of the topic on the listserve.
  • RPS R3 - Should have a subgroup that will be responsible for the development of the vocabularies necessary for the implementation of the RPS R3 standard. This should be referenced in the project plan.
  • Peggy Leizear will be forwarding the RPS R3 Project Scope Statement to the RCRIM WGM for preliminary discussions on January 5, 2010.

January 2010 RPS R2 Ballot Materials

Jason Rock reviewed the RPS R2 Ballot information and provided an overview of the voting site.

RPS R2 Ballot Information

• To find the ballot materials, navigate to: http://www.hl7.org/v3ballot/html/welcome/environment/index.htm.
  • To locate the RPS R2 materials, navigate the tree to: Universal | Regulated Products | Regulated Product Submissions
  • RPS R2 Ballot information- Narrative materials; RMIM (navigate by clicking on the links to see the information about the Acts, Roles, Entities, Act Relationships, etc.), HMD (generated from the RMIM - XLS version of the model)
  • Supporting Files | Schemas | Multicache Schemas | Domain: Regulated Products; download via the links for the RPS R2 specific; Schema is considered non-normative because it is generated by the RMIM model.
