HL7 ANSI Anti-Trust Policy

HL7 adheres to the ANSI Anti-Trust policy.  We should avoid sharing any information on this call that could be interpreted as anti-competitive.  If there are topics that you don’t normally speak about in other public settings, such as conferences or trade shows, then it’s probably best to save those topics for another time as this is a public call. If you have any questions you can refer to the GOM section 05.01 or consult your companies legal division.

Christol reviewed the policy.

HL7 CDA R2 Attachment Implementation Guide: Exchange of C-CDA Based Documents, Release 2

Lisa Nelson:  

At this point, a lot of what we have to do is fit prior work into the new paradigm as best we can.  I think, as Linda said, the priorities should be to have the version number match in JIRA and on the document, and for it to make sense given what people know the document to be named. So, if it's only known as "R2", then maybe we should call it  v2.0.0.  We definitely want to eliminate multiple uses of the word "Release" in the title.

If the document did get balloted once, then I also would be in favor of selecting v2.1.0 and doing the errata release to fix up the name and version of the document on the cover page.  That would be a bit more work but would result in a higher quality solution.  If PIE thinks this IG is going to start getting some good attention, it might be worth them doing an errata release to update the version info.

Just let us know what you (PIE) decides they would like to do, and CMG can update the Asset List based on your selected path forward.

This was tabled until next week.  Durwin showed that the R1 (expired) and R2 versions can be found on the PIE home page in Confluence.
Update CDex

Viet Nguyen MD will join our PIE WG call at 3:00 pm to socialize this work with Questionnaire and example use cases

We gained approval to move forward with building out example sets with Clinical Data Exchange CDex last week at DV member meeting.  I’m introducing all of you to additional PMO, Crystal Kallem, our partner and Project Manager for DV use case work, and our two existing CDex leads, Christol Green and Durwin Day. Yan Heras is our deputy tech director on this use case and will be helping to define how and where we capture examples.

You are here because have either expressed interest, or offered up connections to MD/provider support on this work in the past.  The group is slowly getting organized, so want to make sure you know each other, so you can join calls/send colleagues our way in the coming weeks.

Team, Drs. Waldren, Suarez, Lane and Giannulli are active members of Da Vinci’s Clinical Advisory as well as each seen as thought leaders/drivers for clinical data exchange in the industry. Their collective practical knowledge here is priceless.


This was tabled until next week.
