- Floyd also asked Viet which quarter on which day would be good to discuss DEQM during Jan 2019 HL7 WG meeting, so we can add in schedule. Viet will let the WG know.

- QI CORE STU link - consideration for vote
- QI Core STU 3.2 Update is now available for two-weeks Members Only review, here is the link to the specification: http://build.fhir.org/ig/cqframework/qi-core/. An HL7 wiki comment page (http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=QI_Core_STU_3.2_Update_Comment_Page) is also now available with instruction for submitting comments.
- This STU update to the QI-Core profiles incorporates updates to the US-Core profiles, version 1.1.0. Specifically, it changes the QICore-Encounter and QICore-PractitionerRole profiles to be derived from the new USCore-Encounter and USCore-PractitionerRole profiles, rather than directly from the base resources, as well as changes the QICore-Coverage profile type element to bind to the SOP Payer value set.
