Action(s):
3 Agenda Items
- Chair: GarguiloStatus/Discussion: 3. MOU with MDISS:
- - Axel described the intent to cooperate with MDISS having complimentary interests. Several PCD companies are represented in the MEM WG, but little user representation. In contrast, MDISS has user representation and a few companies. MDISS is developing best practices, not within PCD’s scope and the MOU enables input to that effort. MDISS is recognized by the industry.
- - Monroe noted that PCD is focused more on the messages and suggested this be noted in the MOU.
- - Ken suggested that the MOU address the intellectual property, resulting documents, and how the work products will be reviewed and approved by their organizations and publicized.
- - Discussion continued and Axel will edit the draft. Todd will ask IEEE, IHE International and IHE-USA to review it.
4. Profiles and TF Update:
- - Paul suggested that certification consider a wider range of message content. John Garguilo indicated that NIST is far from certification testing. John Rhoads asked if there is a need to convene a meeting to consider what messages and errors should be considered. John G indicated that late changes this year was one of several issues raised in the preceding Connectathon/Showcase WG meeting.
- - Monroe indicated that the issues seen included pump messages that were issues that vendors worked around by not raised for resolution. Device identification from the EMR and from the pump were inconsistent and mapped by the EMR.
- - Paul indicated that VMDs are required, but not tested.
- - NIST can then simulate a gateway sending messages to an EMR.
- - John R noted that nomenclature for alarms, events is a “wild west”. Monroe offered an example.
- - John G noted that these issues are conformance, not interoperability issues. John R said we’re on the brink of a new stage. Monroe suggested that there is work to be done in each WG and John R added document tracking for the basic and fast changing elements.
