Minutes

Ed to talk to Ken re: ONC concerns / Lorraine to take ONC concerns to FGB

• Ed talked to Ken and gave him copies of the slides. Ken sent an email to Grahame, and a number of emails have been exchanged. Ed feels this is something that should be able to be settled without major catastrophes. The toughest thing is to get all the people involved.
• Ed asked Lorraine if she has any questions for the USRSC for this afternoon’s FHIR meeting.
  • Lorraine: No questions yet, but she expects to have some following the meeting this afternoon.
• Paul: How is Jonathan engaged in the process?
  • Jonathan: They have engagement from many different levels. The levels of engagement hasn’t gone higher than the USRSC. They realize that others may engage people of higher levels. FI has provided reviews and comments via GForge.
• Hans: Reviewed the slides; the things that stand out that he’d like a better background for discussions with FGB and FMG are:
• The timeline of an October publication is not very tight. Do we need to accelerate some of the work.
  • • Where is the major concern?
  • What does it mean to streamline work groups?
    • Ed: The timeline has almost disappeared. What may be valuable is an official publication of a new timeline
    • Paul and Lorraine indicated there has not been any change in the timeline.
    • Ed suggests that perhaps that info should be republished so everyone understands it remains status quo.
• Paul: The plan is to publish by the end of September.
  • Ed: Perhaps we should put the dates in a prominent place on the HL7 website or some clear place?
  • Lorraine: If we’re in a timeline crunch, what would be helpful is to see a list of which items the ONC profile is dependent upon, then the FHIR team can focus on those items.
• Paul brought up a concern that he is unclear of Argonaut’s work and efforts.

Formation of a US Affiliate

• Ed indicated there was a 6 hour discussion at July’s Board Retreat about this topic.
  • The work involved creating a matrix that contained all the things that need to be considered. There are about 10-15 columns, and the result was about 4 models, that represent 2 base models with a couple of variations.
  • The plan is to share the matrix work with a number of people, including the affiliate chairs, as well as this group.
  • Pat is the chair of the Board group working on this effort.
  • The matrix will definitely be presented to the Board by the October Board meeting at the Atlanta WGM.
  • What level of readiness will be complete by October? Probably the matrix will be distributed. A final announcement won’t be given, however the group will be transparent with their work.

Upcoming USRSC Meetings

• Ken will miss the next several meetings and Ed is out of the country next week.
• John will chair next week.
