Discussion

Item	Topic	Discussion
1	Introductions & Agenda Review - Chair	Status/Discussion: Decisions/Issues: Revised for focus on cosponsorship Action(s):
2	Review Meeting Summaries - Chair	Status/Discussion: Deferred Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
3	AAMI Cosponsorship - All	Status/Discussion: AAMI Cosponsorship The cochairs reviewed discussions that took place with Mary Logan at HIMSS11, decided to develop a draft proposal for AAMI cosponsorship to share with Lisa (HIMSS) and Mario (ACCE). Ken noted that IHE has not adequately been promoted to hospitals: without the customer demand the vendors are not motivated to provide products. HIMSS is the appropriate association to do help develop this as well as promoting demand among government entities. Elliot suggested that AAMI can also help promote demand. Ken asked how we reach out to large hospital organizations. John Garguilo noted that a repository with sample Use Cases can contribute to adoption. Hospitals would like to see results to raise confidence in the ability to implement successfully. Ken suggested the transition to PCD should not require such a repository. Manny indicated that his conversation with Lisa identified important work that PCD needs to accomplish that require additional funding. Ken suggested that there are non-technical deliverables provided by PCD (e.g., education) that AAMI can support as well. Elliot suggested AAMI can champion solutions. AAMI’s experience with verification and validation will be a significant aspect. Todd returned to the value proposition and these were identified: - AAMI will have representatives on committees and WGs that are perceived to be priorities for its memberships. - AAMI’s representatives will provide important information to its members. - AAMI can help vendors prepare for market requirements (government or other), especially important given the time to market of regulated devices. - AAMI can help its members comply with FDA requirements, including the new MDDS requirements. - AAMI is not, but should be, present among the various professional and trade organizations at the Connectathon or Showcase. Elliot indicated that adding a cosponsor requires some level of funding. Todd noted that the CE-IT Community represents one collaborative effort with personnel involved from the three organizations. Ken suggested that moving this quickly will require a face to face meeting. Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
4	ONC Upcoming Meeting - All	Status/Discussion: Cochairs should make this opportunity to comment available to PCD members. The existing Use Cases are worth discussing. He suggested that all who speak and know each other cooperate on the presentations to make maximum use of the limited 5 minutes available. Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
