Professional Associations that bring together competing entities, such as HL7, 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 activities, 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).

| NIH All of US RFI | Craig | Information about the NIH RFI: “This Request for Information seeks input on how to best acquire and integrate Electronic Health Record data from Health Information Networks and Health Information Exchanges into the All of Us Research Program dataset. The All of Us Research Program seeks to accelerate health research and medical breakthroughs to enable individualized prevention, treatment, and care for all of us. To do this, the program will partner with one million or more participants nationwide and build one of the most diverse biomedical data resources of its kind. Diversity is one of the core values of the All of Us Research Program. The program aims to reflect the diversity of the United States and has a special focus on engaging communities that have been underrepresented in health research in the past.” The NIH All of US RFI language can be accessed at: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-PM-22-004.html Comments to NIH are due August 31 Comments to HL7 PAC are due August 19 Further discussion on HL7’s overarching NIH response will happen August 11, 5PM Eastern HL7 on the HL7 Policy Advisory Call.

| Updating the balloted MDI FHIR IG to US Core 5.0.1 | Diana | MDI has gone through ballot and ballot recon (all comments have been approved) A request has come through to reference US Core 5.0.1 (rather than 4.0.0) Such a change would have little impact on the content of the MDI IG The major change relates to the Condition resource (MDI would be updated to indicate that implementers can use either Condition profile in US Core) Motion: to find persuasive - The MDI FHIR IG will be updated to US Core version 5.0.1 as suggested with the necessary changes relevant to the Condition resource.

No changes in this request (relative to the previous extension request) TSC has been stricter in requiring the rationale for the extension (particularly when there is a newer version available) Sarah will update the rationale before submitting to TSC for approval (Management Group approval is not required for extension requests) Motion: to approve the extension request dependent upon the updated rationale Sarah Gaunt/Laura Conn: 27-0-0 | |
