Minutes

Convened at 8:03 am

• Agenda Review
• Approve minutes of
  • 20131015 FGB concall, Ewout moves and Grahame seconds approval - approved
  • 20130922 FGB WGM, Ewout moves and Grahame seconds approval - approved
  • 20130927_FMG_WGM_meeting approved by FMG, not FGB's agenda
  • notes of 20131008 FGB concall reviewed
• Action Item review:
  • Grahame will address with Electronic Services on FHIR information on the HL7 website. e.g. banner scrolling at the top. Didn't speak of this at ES. They spoke of hosting arrangements, redirection in URLs to address with Mike. Need static content. Also addressed needs for a repository for value sets and profiles and their curation. Didn't get to talk about ballot practices and home page representation.
    • Austin has asked Grahame about ballot content changing during the ballot. Constants changed due to change in reference material but the pages didn't change, he reports. Link for ballot content points to ballot reconciliation content and not the actual ballot content - Grahame will fix that.
    • Processes for outside submitters to apply coding changes need to be developed for the hl7.org server.
    • Ewout asks about requirements of the FHIR repository and the risk of conflating with the templates registry. Grahame suggested to the board that it be an external contract for an SOA service, renewed annually. Use of HingX addressed but Grahame not familiar with it and if the FHIR service can interface. Ewout clarifies that the Templates registry work is more on identifying requirements and address more the management interface, notification of changes, etc. Grahame firmly believes it should be REST-based. Lynn suggests Grahame ask Woody to show him the HingX API while he's in AUS. CDA Templates are the greater visibility right now but they're in Trifolia.
  • Ron to develop a narrative to set the explicit expectations for FHIR specifically based on the TSC's expectations for DSTU level of rigor. We want to prevent creating additional work for FHIR core team. Just a declaration of intent and approach downstream: how we will accept feedback, and what are the plans for further updates. Need to discuss jointly with FMG. Probably discuss at the January WGM. Ron will address with FMG chairs for agenda.
  • Austin joins
  • FMG & FGB to each discuss term staggering - FMG has identified who will stagger. FGB needs to add some members and that may help establish the staggering of terms. TSC is looking for a revision of the M&C to identify constituencies. May need a clinical member as discussed previously, and a member from the TSC. If we had a program director that would be the type of member for cross-product representation. We need to have the M&C approach approved first - Lynn will send the updates to John and ask John to make recommendations on members and bring the updates to membership and the M&C to TSC. FMG representation on FGB would be good, even without vote. Discussion of relationship between FGB and FMG intended at the TSC call.

Ron has to leave, adjourned 8:51 AM
