Antitrust statement:
Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities are subject to strict scrutiny under applicable antitrust laws. HL7 recognizes that the antitrust laws were enacted to promote fairness in competition and, as such, supports laws against monopoly and restraints of trade and their enforcement. Each individual participating in HL7 meetings and conferences, regardless of venue, is responsible for knowing the contents of and adhering to the HL7 Antitrust Policy as stated in §05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM).

Motion made to approve disposition as written: Juliet Rubini/Anne Smith: 21-0-0. Pursuant to conversations around FHIR-40457, discussions occurred around Supplemental Data Element differences between QRDA and FHIR. In patient level reporting, there is no difference. Values for a patient are reported. In summary level reporting, QRDA and FHIR differ. In QRDA III, Supplemental Data Elements are reported like stratifiers and breakdown counts are provided per population. Supplemental Data Elements are only applied at the initial population level in FHIR. Discussions also occurred about placement of narrative for Supplemental Data Elements, Risk Adjustment Variables and Stratification. Measure developers would prefer one description area for SDE, one description area for Risk Adjustment and one description area of Stratification as opposed to how the Measure resource currently handles the narrative for these measure components. This will require a specification update. Bryn will investigate what options are available. FHIR-40562 - The value for the qualityProgram useContext slice in the CQFM Publishable Measure profile is bound to the Quality Programs value set. The binding strength is extensible in QMIG STU 3. The binding strength needs to be updated to example in QMIG STU 4. In addition, the qualityProgram useContext slice should no longer be required. Motion made to approve disposition as written: Juliet Rubini/Stan Rankins: 20-0-0. |

| Measure & MeasureReport Maturity | FMM level 4 | For FHIR Releaese 5, the maturity level for the Measure and MeasureReport resources should be moved to FMM 4. Do we agree that Measure and MeasureReport maturity has reached this level? If the resources are moved to FMM 4, certain restrictions apply - among them, the implementer community must be consulted and agree to any changes that would be made to Measure and MeasureReport resources in the future. The process for getting this agreement is not formally defined. However, the recommended approach currently involves reaching out to implementers on Zulip. Motion made to make Measure and MeasureReport maturity level FMM 4: Bryn Rhodes/Floyd Eisenberg: 22-0-0. |
