• comment ballot in May, with the plan for an STU ballot in Sept.
• Contains generalized profiles and other artifacts to model the "content development lifecycle for knowledge artifacts"

•  Bryn to also send CRMI IG to CDS listserv, as well as seek typical HL7 ballot requirements

STU Expiration for CDS Hooks (3/16/23) Need an STU Extension Request or do we let this expire?

STU Expiration for Patient View Hook (6/15/23) Need an STU Extension Request

Withdrawal of vMR CDS Templates

What does it mean to get an STU extension request for a previous publication?

• In the HL7 standards grid, the HL7 project matrix. 
• Would we ever make changes directly to STU1, that we wouldn't make to STU2? No, we don't think so. 
• We'll let STU1 CDS Hooks expire. 

STU Expiration for Patietn View Hooks

• We believe that we can't take a hook normative until the underlying base spec is normative.

• We do need an STU Extension for Patient-View Hook.

•  Isaac: to request STU extension, once Bryn finds the form for Isaac

VMR templates

• Motion: Withdraw vMR CDS Templates
• Juliet K Rubini / Greg White: 16-0-0

CDS Hooks discussion: 

1. [FHIR-36319] enable the auto-launch of an app from a card to reduce clicks - Jira (hl7.org) is applied via: auto-launch link capability by isaacvetter · Pull Request #630 · cds-hooks/docs (github.com)
2. [FHIR-37501] CDS should define Task profiles for launching applications - Jira (hl7.org) - applied via modification to SMART spec to include profile on Task, and same resolution as above to auto-launch in CDS Hooks
   1. Motion: Ben Hamlin / Vadim Peretokin: 16-0-0
3. [FHIR-28681] Links are also Suggestions - Jira (hl7.org) and open PR: [FHIR-28681] Links are also Suggestions - Jira (hl7.org)
   1. Discussion:
      1. Howard - should the deferred part be a separate tracker? 
      2. Ben: Deferred seems to open a can of worms, that isn't necessary to resolve the initial jira.
      3. Bryn: could a CDS Client defer a card, without there being a deferrable element in the CDS Hooks response?
      4. Let's create a second ticket and defer () to additional discussion
