2	Detailed break-out of block diagrams	Status/Discussion: Patch Management Rename to Software Management Pending software should be clarified Downloaded and ready for install status Authorized for installation status Vendor supplied vs. OTS Upgrades vs. Bug fixes Should be explicit that this is not a push mechanism, only a reporting mechanism Patch history should be another system not a function of this reporting There should be a method of site customized software level (i.e. a drug library in pumps) Location Services Yes this is RTLS Not a protocol for location tracking but a method of exporting tracking information across the enterprise There was some work done on this several years back in HL7, need to investigate its status This would not be for location tracking (tag-type) companies but for interoperability vendors Only boundary alarms seems to have an obvious solution Also include in the scope a location query mechanism Battery Management The topics included in the poster seem to represent the issues Operational Status and Monitoring Define alerts versus alarms Include calibration check alarms Action(s): Examine status of location services within HL7
3	MEM Roadmap	Status/Discussion: Decisions/Issues: Some of this could be solved using just an aperiodic PCD-01 message Action(s): New Brief Profile Proposals for Cycle 5 Battery management (leverage existing PCD-01) Location boundary alarms Other work items for Cycle 5 Nomenclature requirements (Data types, names, value sets)
