4	Funding Possibilities - All	Status/Discussion: Funding for the future: Increased number of companies and profiles requires more support. The proposed profiles, in particular DPI, will require significant support. Timing is important; other organizations may produce conflicting requirements if PCD lags. Elliot suggested that grant opportunities will result from the stimulus package from the new Congress in the first one hundred days. Elliot speculated that HIMSS may be in position to seek funding, but IHE International and IHE USA incorporation must precede any IHE grant proposal. The HIMSS Board’s goal is to have IHE USA incorporated in July, 2009. ANSI and others will seek funding to repackage HITSP’s work. HITSP will show multiple demonstrations in the Showcase. Remote monitoring will likely be included. Partnering with industry may be an aspect. Didi had mentioned the possibility of seeking a third sponsor for the PCD. Elliot suggested thinking outside the box. Any approach would need to avoid compromising HIMSS and IHE support. Didi offered to make the approaches to other organizations. Non-profits would only be a possibility through 501c3 organizations, such as ACCE. Continua has a 501c3 foundation. ACCE as a 501c3 could provide the organizational structure. Didi was receptive to this approach. Elliot also asked about the possibility of seeking corporate funding and how IHE could permit or support this approach. Didi requested more information about the goal – project, development, demonstration, deployment/implementation, etc. The funds would need to flow through a non-profit. For example, Continua has a 501c3 foundation. Similarly, ACCE as a 501c3 could provide the organizational structure. Didi was receptive to this approach. Elliot also asked about the possibility of seeking corporate funding and how IHE could permit or support this approach. Didi requested more information about the goal – project, development, demonstration, deployment/implementation, etc. The funds would need to flow through a non-profit. HIMSS.org has provided HIMSS’ suggestions to the Obama transition team. Didi noted that HIMSS grant support and their Government Relations group are staying close to the transition team. Elliot suggested that a series of accelerated demonstration events are necessary, with testing events. HIMSS has issued a report "Call for Action: Enabling Healthcare Reform Using Information Technology." It "outlines specific priorities and recommendations for the Obama Administration and 111th Congress to harness IT's power to reform healthcare and stimulate the U.S. economy." Didi suggested that the cochairs digest the HIMSS Call for Action, seek synergies with PCD's present work, with marketing direction, and HIMSS. The cochairs should formulate some concrete ideas and then hold another discussion. Elliot noted that the PCD group that is involved with the Connectathon and Showcase would be a natural supporting group. Didi also suggested considering how PCD can approach policy/risk management/other issues that arise from devices connected to EMRs. Elliot noted that the Virginia HIE will partner with Social Security for a demonstration regarding clearing disability claims and how this may be relevant. Didi suggested a follow up call with HIMSS Advantage to explore private funding. That would follow another PCD cochair meeting to define the goals. She referred to the Call for Action for synergy. Decisions/Issues: Action(s): Manny will set meeting on Jan. 8 and Didi will set meeting for the following week with HIMSS Advantage.
