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).

Project Proposal review

PSS-2126-Retrieval of Immunization Data via Bulk FHIRIN REVIEW
The Helios FHIR Accelerator has submitted a project proposal for guidance regarding the application of the existing Bulk Data Access FHIR IG (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/bulkdata/) to the use case of allowing authorized users access data held by Immunization Information Systems (IIS) in bulk
The exact deliverable is not known at this time. It may be a FHIR IG or just some other type of guidance for implementing
CDS is the only other WG that has expressed interest in being involved
Motion: Public Health WG will volunteer to be the sponsoring WG for this project (Craig Newman/John Stamm: 19-0-0)

CMS RFI for National Directory of Healthcare Providers and Services
Public Health would likely be represented (PH has providers that would need to be included) within the NDH as well as being a consumer of data within the NDH
Licensing activities could be a user too
Having a standard for a directory may be just as important as having a singular national directory
Please review and come to next week's call with any comments you'd like the WG to consider

V3 Immunization Messaging IG expiring normative
Danny Wise
Version 3 normative standard (this is not the v2.8.2 Implementation Guide we have published)
Option to withdraw or reaffirm for another 5 years
As far as the co-chairs have been able to ascertain, it's mostly used in Canada
Joginder Madra confirmed it's use in Alberta
Ron Parker (HL7 Canada) doesn't have any concern with going forward with a withdrawal
No known need for updates
If there is need to continue use (or update), then we should reaffirm
If withdrawn, existing implementations can continue, it's mostly an admission that the standard won't be updated going forward
HL7 doesn't really have the machinery to maintain V3
Future work will like focus on either v2 or FHIR
Motion: to proceed with withdrawing the v3 Immunization Messaging document (Craig Newman/AbdulMalik Shakir: 15-0-2)
