Domain Coordination Issues
1. Development effort to create a matrix of HIT initiatives based on IHE Profiles
- In 2013, we began to develop a Spreadsheet of Profiles and Initiatives
- Current version is mainly US focused
- Need to add more projects that have been identified more recently (eg, Saudi project, Image Share network)
- Eric Heflin has provided information on HealtheWay and their implementation efforts
- Need to verify contact names: should be individuals directly associated with organizations
- Chris Carr has action item from August to begin soliciting new projects and verifying contacts
- This resource can be used for promotion and also as a reference to improve communication between project representatives and domain committees
- HIMSS has created a Dashboard of US-based HIT initiatives
- Offers a map-based format with links to more detailed information for projects; details could potentially include IHE profiles implemented
2. Multi-domain content creator/consumer harmonization effort
- Tone Southerland reported on PCC effort to determine whether there is a generic definition and a uniform set of actions for these actors
- Group referenced definitions in shared appendices ADD LINK
- PCC actors are defined in profiles mainly focusing on CDA, but wants to develop actions at a level of abstraction that they can apply to other data types; other domains do use these actors with other content types (eg, DICOM in imaging domains)
- Goal of project is to develop consistent abstract definitions that can be filled in with data types used by various domains
- PCC setting up work group to develop definition of issue and approach for best addressing it
- More information available on the ftp site here
Documentation, Websites and Public Information

- New tools and methods for creating technical documentation
- Profile-specific Connectathon marketing message
Governance Implementation
