Domain Announcements

1. Domain Milestone Dates

2. Domain Board Reports

  • DCC Recommendation to IHE Surgery:
  • In order to move to active status the domain needs to publish and maintain its full roster and timeline of events. This information is needed before DCC can approve report for presentation to IHE Intl Board.
  • DCC strongly encourage Surgery domain to involve other surgery-focused professional groups, like the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the Association of periPerative Registered Nurses (AORN), orthopedic surgeons and other surgical specialties. IHE and DCC can help promote your activities to those groups. Denise Downing, AORN representative, is willing to be involved in activities once Surgery has published its calendar of events and tcons to determine if feasible.
  • Defer review and approval of Surgery Report to January DCC agenda.

Domain Coordination Issues

  • Strategy for incorporating FHIR into IHE profiles and Connectathon testing
  • Questions have been raised about what kind of guidance is needed for profile developers, as well as for implementers and tools developers
  • Some guidance on identifying dated/version specific release in profiles might be useful
  • Trial implementation versions of profiles may be based on trial standards (which FHIR currently is), but final text needs to be based on stable and fully balloted standards
  • Determine whether HL7 has a roadmap for versioning of FHIR and set coordinated roadmap for implementation of FHIR in IHE profiles
  • Currently general release of FHIR is at DSTU 2.1; in this version certain resources are frozen/stable, while others are still under development
  • Profiles need to be based primarily on stable resources before publication as final text
  • Healthcare Standards Integration (HSI) WG has scheduled meetings for Tuesday Q4 and Thursday Q4.
  • IHE would benefit from having a library of resources being used in IHE profiles: consolidate this information in a single place and track the status of resources being used
  • HL7 FHIR team and TSC have expressed concern about IHE profiles that currently reference DSTU1. Reassure that these profiles are being updated to current versions.
  • Domains developing profiles should consult leadership of FHIR community about which resource to use for a given use case; need to know both current status and future intention
  • Action: Laura and Chris will work together to create a reference point (spreadsheet) for tracking use of resources in profiles. Spreadsheet should include resource, profile referencing the domain, date of publication, DST version and status (frozen, stable, fluid, in flux), future information know.
