  • 20-30% increase in number of profiles/actors per system

  • connectathon walk-throughs well attended and much better scripted
  • conference presentations -many by IDNs and deployments
  • conference presentations will be published on ihe.net
  • Reinvigorating development committee volunteer activity - Karen W
  • Problem Statement: General concern is that committees are becoming fragmented where small groups, or individuals, develop profiles and there is little cross-review amongst the different profile development mini-groups. Result is lower quality profiles. Is there anything the DCC or Board can do to help the situation?
  • General agreement: quality gap becoming evident at Trial Implemenation due to less review during Public Comment
  • committee members overwhelmed by number of new supplements/fatigue
  • Problem is both internal to committees as well as external (cross-domain)
  • Strength of IHE is speed (annual cycle) and vendor input during implementation phase; perception is TI version quality may suffer as a result; vendor input during TI phase is very valuable however
  • Decision to go to Final Text is crucial if quality is suffering in TI
  • Discourage sub-committees or small groups within domains; moves away from broader review and understanding
  • Last year (2011) the Tech Project Mgrs (Steve, Lynn, Teri) reviewed all 20+ new PC supplements and provided hundreds of comments. Took many weeks of work. Were under the impression that, for some supplements, provided large majority of comments. However, probably will not do this exercise again in future (too much time).
  • Proposal for a new rule: anyone who submits a profile has to also review two profiles
  • Key Proposal: create implementer groups for profiles (or groups of profiles) in trial implementation
  • Use Connectathons to recruit implementers to provide feedback; schedule follow-up call before and after each major Connectathon (four calls per year?)
  • Profile authors need to participate in discussions and respond to input from implementers
  • Bring proposal to Board for consideration of broader implementation
  • Add to next DCC call for further review

Documentation, Websites and Public Information

  • Documentation Work Group - Teri Sippel Schmidt
  • significant progress made on TF General Introduction - will be published as a web page (centrally maintained); will pull alot of intro material out of each domain's Technical Framework Vol 1 to minimize errors;
  • Technical Framework Vol 1, Vol 2, and Vol 4 "shells" almost completed for new domains; existing domains will need to adapt (eventually, after current Supplement template has been properly vetted)
  • Really need more input on Content Module (Vol 3) Supplement Template, especially from PCC and even QRPH. Only current input is from Cardiology (CIRC).
