3	Connectathon Planning -	Status/Discussion: We have a new Google Group for IDCO and they will transition to Webex for their meetings. Grouped actors: Vendors publicizing two actors that are grouped indicate that certain data is electronically transferred from one to the other, without manual action by the clinician. E.g., grouping the DOR actor with the IOC actor means that certain data is transferred from the IOC to the DOR (or vice-versa, as defined in the technical document). If these requirements are not met, they are not grouped. The profiles will need to be updated to reflect this. Testing this year will be updated to reflect this. PCD use of ADT: - Meetings last week addressed the questions of (1) Light Weight PAM and (2) grouping two actors. A meeting with ITI resulted in a decision to employ PAM (ITI-30 and/or ITI-31) and/or PDQ, as each vendor elects. Steve Moore noted that PDQ provides a snapshot, and if changes are required, the system will need to query periodically. He cautioned against too frequent queries and in a later email (following this WG meeting) suggested this could be done upon request by the clinician. - Ruth asked if there will be further discussion about PAM, PDQ. Robert responded that there are remaining questions – home health and some unique use cases. Ruth provided an example – what if the DOR and DOC are inconsistent? Ken noted that this is a very good question, and mismatches are likely since the various systems may not use the same ADT approach. Robert will have CPs later this week, but that won’t address the edge cases. Ken will add this to the agenda for the F2F. We will need to develop CPs as we proceed. As noted last week, these will be collected and addressed following the Connectathon. In the interim we need to be sure that all those affected develop a consensus on these and implement the changes in the testing process. Developers were encouraged to post their tested messages on the ftp site; sending system messages in particular will be of value to receiving systems. An ftp folder has been established for these samples, and last year's messages are still available in that folder. NIST provided a summary of their plans and this will be resent in .doc. Registration for Connectathon and Showcase is open until the end of the month - Companies were requested to update the spreadsheet listing the Participating Companies and Profiles/Actors - Correction - companies NEED NOT be IHE members - We still have time to recruit additional companies as full participants and recruiting for New Directions Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
4	Showcase Planning - Manny	Status/Discussion: HIMSS wants to emphasize ARRA and HITSP applicability. For PCD they would like interaction with other domains. Manny met with John Donnelly and representatives of Continua this morning. Briefly, we may see: - Collaboration with Continua with data from a (possible) diabetic with congestive heart failure (CHF) whose data will be sent to the ER - Continua wants to emphasize that data sent from home (e.g., same patient) from scale, glucometer, SpO2/heart rate and blood pressure, to a disease management company would enable physician to make a change and keep the patient from needing to go to the ER. Developers were reminded that marketing people will be receiving material from HIMSS and that newcomers are required to participate in an Engineering Interview others may optionally elect to have this meeting. Those interested should contact Manny to schedule. Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
