      • Completed
5. CCHIT Liaison Report (Peter)
   • Peter provided an overview of the progress so far at CCHIT. The CCHIT workgroup has started monthly meetings and is expecting to complete its profile by October 2010. They have been provided with access to this team's work (the work is available openly from this wiki). The CCHIT process is such that Peter is not allowed to share their work in progress until it is complete and ready for public review. Peter expressed concern that the directive received from the CCHIT leadership limits the scope of the planned profile too much. He is working with other members of the CCHIT group to try to ensure that the scope is adequate.
   • Concern was discussed that with the confidential/closed approach that CCHIT takes it will be impossible to ensure that there is continued alignment between the product of this project (the HL7 AOFP) and the CCHIT profile. This is not a desirable outcome for vendors and users as they will have two un-aligned profiles. There was also concern expressed over the CCHIT timeline.
   • John suggested that we need to ensure that this group can move forward with as much engagement from stakeholders as possible so that we can influence the CCHIT workgroup to consider the requirements coming from HL7.
