Antitrust Statement
Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities 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 meetings and conferences, 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).
Agenda Topics

|---|---|---|---|
Management | 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 read Anti-Trust statement. | |

| Management - Russ | PIE WG should prepare and approve an Errata Release to the IG to simply modify the cover page with the appropriate identifying version numbers so it’s easy to correlate with what’s in JIRA. 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. Russ -I have a conflict 2:30-3:00pm, but I’ll join today 3:00-3:30pm.
| Go to CDA management on 4 digit version. Is this valid; 2.1.0.1? Russ will verify the version numbering as follows: 1st position - Major publication 2nd position - STU 3rd position - STU minor updates 4th position - Errata release | |
| Completed Prior Authorization Comments | Both the PIE WG Interop 3 Prior Auth and the Attachments NPRM comments have been shared with HL7 leadership. However, we now can still add any new comments for Attachments with the extension on comment date of April 21th | PIE and DaVinci have submitted comments. The extension allows for new comments, but you cannot take away or delete from comments already submitted. Bob stated that www.regulations.gov has been down for a while. | |
