    • Reuben:  'Terminology Authority" as a name for the HTA may be confusing.  Suggesting there may be a better label which reflects the function(s) of the HTA as a component of the TSMG.  Possibly adding the term "External" or "External Terminology(ies)"

  • Request for THO v3.1.0

    • TSMG may want to discuss timing with FMG regarding changes in R5 related to THO (i.e. Identifiers Systems, "Using X with FHIR", etc.)
    • TSMG is suggesting a regular cadence of THO releases, anticipating "pre-ballot" timing 
    • Must freeze no later than 2/20 (anything not implemented in CI build will not get in) to accommodate Ted's leave
