Domain Coordination Issues

  • Review the current listing of IHE Profiles implemented and in use in major US initiatives
  • Planning a conference around 2016 Connectathon in Germany (April)
  • Announced a plan to gather more case studies; investigating resources to develop into a narrative
  • Domain leaders are welcome to send a message regarding any cases they may have to incorporate into the spreadsheet
  • Jose: Are the case studies actually using the profiles or using them as a reference?
  • Using profiles as basis for publication is what we're looking for
  • Multi-domain content creator/consumer harmonization effort
  • Initiated by PCC (Tone Southerland main point of contact for this project)
  • ACTION: Chris to send PCC co-chairs a message to inquire about any updates regarding this project
  • Originally not much interest for IHE
  • Currently, there have been discussion about developing a MOU to identify a set of SNOMED codes that IHE could use free of licensing restriction
  • Biggest gaps lie within PCC profiles
  • Now would be the time for domains to include SNOMED codes into profiles and provide IHTSDO with an extensive list
  • ACTION: Chris to reach out to PCC
  • Aside from DAF (data access framework), are there any IHE USA-specific extensions?
  • ITI has DS4-A as well as appendix to Family Planning profile in QRPH, may not be published in Vol. 4
  • RAD - do not have IHE USA-specific extensions

Documentation, Websites and Public Information

  • Process for updating Profiles wiki page (Discuss during next call and propose a motion to enforce a process)
  • The goal of this page to have a quick reference of what the profile is about rather than opening up the final text doc
  • Could re-purpose content of Webinar slides to use as content for this page as a suggestion
  • Potentially update page in 6 months - want people to notice profiles during trial implementation phase
  • Mary to develop more reasonable list of what profiles need to be updated
  • Important to catch up on backlog
  • Request for inventory of Snomed codes used in profiles (DEFERRED)
  • New tools and methods for creating technical documentation (DEFERRED)
