Discussion Summary and Action Items from Previous Meetings

Discussion Summaries from previous meetings are not reviewed unless a significant issue is raised. Decision meetings will have minutes that require approval. This may be accomplished on email ballot.

Action Items from the previous meetings: PCD PC 2008-11-19 Webex, PCD PC&TC 2008-12-03 Webex

No.	Action Item	Owner	Participants	Due	Open/Closed	Description/Update
41	Monitor FDA actions on Universal Device ID	Jeff Secunda	--	January 1, 2009	Open	Jeff Secunda said that the FDA will be starting a project on the UID concept. The project will take at least 1 year.
44	Define relationship between IEEE standards and IHE profiles; the role of the PCD in determining this relationship. MOU – reviewed and published for consideration at this Friday’s IEEE Board meeting. The HL7/IEEE MOU is also in process	Todd Cooper	--	December 17, 2008	Open	Elliot arranged for Didi to forward the current HL7 draft to IEEE for review as a template. That one is complete and signatures added. This MOU addresses intellectual property exchanges. Change date to Oct. 1.
70	Coordinate 12 lead ECG effort with Cardiology domain. Cardiology Domain – will become active again.	Ray	--	January 2, 2009	Open	Depends upon Cardiology Domain's success in finding sponsors. Defer until Cardiology Domain has updated its workplan and additional action is required.
71	Recruit clinicians; develop novel ways, attend to their priorities and schedules	Ken, Manny	--	Open	Open	A few replies were recieved from Ken's email indicating nurses would not be able to participate in PC. Todd indicated that RTM ventilator WG has successfully recruited physicians. Profile development may be a reasonable initial focus for involvement and perhaps lead to further involvement in PCD. Paul had earlier suggested a booth at at ACC, other meetings. Liase with standards groups such as ASTM, professional societies.
72	Press releases as recruiting tool, including the Showcase. PCD will invite companies to observe Connectathon and reach out to companies and users to invite them to the PCD demo at the Showcase.	Manny	--	Open	Open	Two press releases have been prepared and distributed to various organizations for distribution.
74	Mapping PCD into v3 CDA with relevance to RTM	Todd	Peter Hendler	December 3, 2008	Open	Todd: VA was planning to move forward about use of CDA. He will talk with James McCain. Peter: Kaiser and VA working to trade documents as part of NHIN project. Goal is to assure the appropriate set of medical device semantic components is included in the appropriate location in CDA/CCD documents and HL7 v3 nessages. Todd will ask the VA as to whether there is still any interest in this project. Todd will schedule a webex the end of August/early September to discuss the status of the profile proposal and identify what needs to happen to move it forward in this next cycle. Will be addressed in Vancouver meeting the week of September 15.
76	Test Tooling, NIST and MWB	John Garguilo	Al Engelbert, Todd Cooper, Robert Flanders, John Garguilo, John Rhoads, Peter Rontey, Paul Schluter	October 8, 2008	Open	Rob Snellick is working on this. Peter Rontey identified two open issues. One suggests that PCD may need to select HL7 v.2.6 as baseline. The other relates to OBX.5 which has an indeterminate data type. Peter believes he has a solution if NIST Message Maker can accommodate his approach. John Garguilo suggested this be changed to two issues, one related to HL7 profiles and the other to develop and validate the profiles. Decision deferred. With regard to test tools and validation the MWB will be used, and can be used in Pre-Connectathon testing. We need to identify what the vendors will communicate within the profiles and select the parameters that will be used. We then need to know what tables and other data is used and these must also be provided to NIST. Optimally, values and ranges will be defined. We need to define the profiles and parameters that will be used to validate RTM. This effort is a test of the NIST tools as well, the goal is to provide Cypress as a web tool available anytime desired.
78	2009 Survey Development	Ray Zambuto	--	January 1, 2009	Open	Ray will add a question or two regarding the need to support web services and other service oriented architectures.
80	Recruiting	Members	--	January 1, 2009	Open	Invite new companies to observe PCD at this year’s Connectathon. Manny to compile list as suggestions are received.
81	ISO 215 Requirements for Posting Profile Details - transferred from TC	Todd	--	December 3, 2008	Open	ISO TR283800 Part 2 has been approved. These work items were submitted to ISO TC215 per IHE International's Liaison agreement, and standardize both the IHE process as well as the technical frameworks that have been developed. A document that includes descriptions and pointers to all the different IHE profiles are required. As a result of this, each domain needs to make sure that the referenced material is complete and consistent. The following must be correct and up to date (from Charles Parisot): The overall listing of IHE profiles (TI and TF) at: http://www.ihe.net/Profiles. The overall listing of IHE profiles (TI and TF) at: http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Profiles. Each detailed Profile Description page referenced must be accurate. The overall listing of profiles included under IHE Domains at: http://www.ihe.net/Domains/index.cfm. Verify that each detailed Profile Description page referenced must be available from the Wiki (see above). Each Domain name must have a link to the decription of the domain and its scope. NOTE: THOSE descriptions are really weak and inconsistent. Todd will produce a one page (max) description of the Domain and more importantly of its scope for the ISO TR28380. This will be the place where the IHE.net web site will be referenced with specific profile decriptions.
82	Users Guide	Steve Merritt	--	January 1, 2009?	Open	--
83	Recruiting in Chicago area in advance of Showcase	Manny	--	December 3, 2008	Open	Recruiting presentation during the Connectathon has not received support from Didi. We may want to consider a webinar.
84	Vote on Brief Profile Proposals	Todd	--	--	Open	Provide Wiki pages and prepare ballot.
85	MEM detailed proposal	Steve Merritt	--	January 1, 2009	Open	--
86	Contribute to, or develop a glossary.	--	--	--	Open	--
87	Review the IHE.net/pcd page	Todd	John Rhoads	January 29, 2009	Open	--
88	Consider how to move non-IHE members to membership	Ken	John Rhoads	January 29, 2009	Open	--

Paul will develop and distribute an updated RTM table over the holidays with input from Maria at NIST, Bikram with beds. Christof expressed interest in this project. Paul noted that there are other tables, such as a German table for biochemistry. Christof suggested discussion at the HL7 meeting. Add Showcase demo policy and IHE Australia to the agenda for Jan. 14 Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
