1. Discuss call with PQA leadership

   1. Next steps: the CodeX Quality Measures team is meeting on Wednesday (5/24) and we will use part of our call to identify/define where both PQA and ONC could fit into the workflow or phases of work. We will focus on clarifying questions, such as: is there a quick turn of the crank that ONC could neatly fold into by end of the fiscal year (i.e., testing on datasets, etc.)?

   2. Next steps: I also tracked a second action item for @Lisa Hines to connect with @Stephanie.Jones@asco.org at ASCO to learn more about how ASCO is engaging with CodeX on the Quality Measures use case.
