70	IEEE MOU	Todd	Elliot	2009.02.17	OPEN	The IEEE/IHE MOU is close to completion. It will permit appropriate use of IEEE materials.
74	Clinical Recruitment	Steve	Cochairs and PC	Open	OPEN	(Zambuto) Review IHE membership to identify recruitment opportunities. (All) Identify invitation opportunities for participation in the October F2F. (Cooper)Update profiles wiki page so as to capture the attention of clinical reviewers. (Zambuto) Ask Mario Castenada re. KP participants (perhaps also Michael Robkin) (Cooper) To contact Rick Schrenker re. profile proposal review. Manny will talk with Cristal Anderson about possibilities. He asked for emails with suggestions. (Cooper, Jan. 27) HL7/IHE are talking about this subject; there may be an opportunity for PCD
77	Monitor HITSP development of RMON and coordinate a demonstration with HITSP.	Todd	Paul	June 16, 2009	OPEN	Todd has not heard back from Joyce about how best to proceed. Paul said Continua is working on requirements documents, and anticipates that January will see progress. Bridget made a presentation last Friday. As a consultant for Continua she didn’t get deeply into the substance as of Friday. Rick gave her a lot of fee rein. She appears to place emphasis on deliverable products. There’s an internal effort by the Wide Area Network Group to determine technical requirements.
82	PCD to develop MOU with CIMIT	Ray	Ken	February 3, 2009	OPEN	Defer interest in year ‘round lab. Develop an MOU intended to enable coordinating profiles, similar to the Continua MOU. Ray spoke with Julian who postponed the discussion. Ray will follow up. There’s an ICE meeting next week. There’s a question regarding where in the continuum PCD should have an MOU (ICE, MDPnP, CIMIT).
83	Funding Possibilities	Cochairs		2009.02.03	OPEN	Discuss potential opportunities, focus of proposal(s). DPI, RTM are the highest priorities and most appropriate for foundation funding. Refer to notes of Dec. 23, 2008, PCD Cochairs 2008-12-23 Webex for more information. Grants Advantage responded to the discussion, saying there may be federal funds in AHRQ’s Comparative Effectiveness Research Program and that $3-5K would be required to write the proposal. If Didi doesn’t have funds, perhaps ACCE would support this. Ray will make the request. Ken will contact Edna at HIMSS Advantage and Jon White and Michael Fitzmaurice at AHRQ, for more information and will ask Edna about private foundation funds. Manny to send Edna’s email to Ray, Elliot re ACCE funds. Ray received a response from the ACCE Foundation indicating they would be interested in supporting the grant writing, but Ray is hoping that ACCE would itself fund the grant writing. Ray will approach several board members to ask that this be on the board agenda. Ken sent Jon White at AHRQ an email to learn of his interest; this is in follow up to a suggestion from Edna Boone at HIMSS. Todd suggested we consider a prototype project for the application of PCD profiles. Todd and Elliot will be in DC at a HITSP TC and that may present opportunities to talk with people and scope out opportunities. John Halamka requested input for an article he is writing about optimal allocation of stimulus funding. Elliot will be, and the cochairs were, invited to contribute ideas. The cochairs need to provide Elliot with some suggestions that show this would be an economic stimulus and an investment in future jobs and healthcare benefits in the future.
84	AAMI meeting - session and booth	Cochairs	Todd, Ray, Manny	February 10, 2009	OPEN	Todd has confirmed speakers. Ray learned from Didi that HIMSS will have a booth at AAMI focused on HIMSS. PCD will not have a booth.
85	F2F at NIST the week of May 4	Cochairs			OPEN	Manny will contact John Garguilo to obtain security and other information and then issue a notice.
86	HIMSS09 Web Page	Cochairs		February 10, 2009	OPEN	NEW HIMSS09 web page update has made two PCD related links quite visible. These are out of date. Cochairs will review and see if there are other links that might be substituted or if those pages need to be updated. Add to next meeting’s agenda.
