• Review the mission and roadmap of CIMI
  • Current Mission Statement: Improve the interoperability of healthcare systems through shared implementable clinical information models. 

• Mission and Roadmap discussion
  • A comprehensive common logical model has been a difficult challenge
  • John Donnelly - cross reference of models. CIMI is best as a horizontal service.
  • Susan Matney - the details of how clinical data should be represented are not all known.  We could help in this area.
  • Mark Kramer - good resources for modeling, terminology, thinkers. Need to provide value to FHIR.  Horizontal - cross cutting interests. Verticals - labs, pharmacy, orders, observations, ontology, etc. Critical mass - CIMI is too small.  Modeling and methodology, conformance.
  • Seth - help with the consistency and interoperability of clinical data using FHIR profiles
  • Claude - achieve interoperability on top of FHIR, and well defined APIs that developers can implement
• Summary
  • " FHIR profiling work group"?
    • Horizontal group and cross cutting groups
    • Use of Profile WG generated profiles is not mandatory
    • Focused on a high degree ("real") interoperability - profile consistency across domains

      • Macro FSH,
      • Profile compare tool
    • CIMI may merge with one or more other groups
    • Need to investigate what Modeling and Methodology does
    • We would work with within other WGs for IGs like Vitals, Pain, Skin and Wound, etc.
    • Lack of resources will be a challenge
      • Bootstrap to demonstrate value and generate support
      • Pick a limited subdomain like lab as a first project
    • Have a kickoff meeting and make a wide communication and invitation
    • Pull profiles out of IGs and compare
      • Find inconsistencies between profiles in different IGs
    • Invite representatives from WGs to the profiling WG
    • May lead to changes in how IGs are developed, selection of profiles from a library of FHIR profiles
  • Action
    • Stan to invite Graham to meet with CIMI
    • Second meeting with broader set of HL7 and FHIR leadership
    • As appropriate, meet with other WGs to gauge their support
