Tech Committee Minutes 2015.11.18

Strucural Heart: Charles Thomas will develop a project timeline for Structural Heart that includes a delivery date of March 1, 2016. He will confirm details with colleagues and have something concrete to review at the next t-con, 11.25. He also provided a brief overview of the FDA's GUD ID database and offered some insights at its application for the TAVR profile. It is unclear if it could provide insights into specific devices being associated with specific patients. It does contain every device that could be used in a cath lab.

A question was raised which will require more research: How will missing SNOMED codes be handled? Possibly by submitting requests to SNOMED directly, or having the ACC develop codes in the meantime as placeholders? This may require input from the Data Elements Task Force of the ACC, as well as the NCDR to answer, though a temporary solution may be required.

CP Ballot Voting: This will be sent out this week to begin the 30-day comment period.

Roster Updating: Paul Dow will continue to update the Google doc roster for the Tech and Planning Committees for this specific round of CP voting, as well as for general list scrubbing. This should help focus our messaging to members who are engaged and contributing to the Domain.
