Introductions were given and the agenda and goals for the meeting was reviewed by Francois.

PaLM Deployed Around the World

Japan update (slide link coming soon)

Kenichi reviewed the IHE activities in Japan. The October 2018 Connectathon in Tokyo had 250-300 attendees from 10 companies with 45 instances of established connections. The 2019 Connectathon will be October 7-11 in Yokohama, Japan. Several dates were presented for the 2019 IHE PaLM F2F meeting in Tokyo. The most likely dates will be May 27-29. Other dates include: June 3-5 (no Riki); June 19-21; June 24-26. A final decision will be made in the next month of

Europe update

(https://www.ihe-europe.net/news/events)

The 2019 Connectathon will be April 8-12 in Rennes, France. Roche might bring their middleware; MIPS is planning to test TMA (bloodbank) (hopefully EPIC will be able to join MIPS for TMA);

Implementations: France big hospitals are implementing LTW and LCSD profiles. In Sardinia, Arsenal is working to get labs of the entire Veneto region to adopt LOINC; they have software that offers LOINC mapping; LOINC is used for results. Orders use national codes.

North America update

The 2019 NA Connectathon will be held January 21-25 in Cleveland, Ohio.

IHE PaLM Board Report (put in updated Board report)

Riki reviewed the draft PaLM Board report. The following issues were discussed

• Technical Committee Co-Chair in Japan – Kenichi may be the co-chair pending a decision by IHE Japan and JAHIS
• Mary will have Sabrina update the 2018 meeting roster
• Inpeco – LBL deployment – Alessandro to find out in the next few days
• Japan deployment - Megumi provides during the meeting, the webpage links also for IHE Japan and JAHIS
• Belgium- KHMER based on XD-Lab – content is XD-Lab with an XML wrapper. So KHMER is replacing the IHE XDS wrapper, but XD-LAB is used plainly within this KHMER envelope. – in trial proof of concept (end of 2019 should have final specification including LOINCs) – this will be removed from the draft report for now
• The Netherlands - LAB-1 and LAB-3 for LTW operational with EPIC and plan implementation of TMA next quarter University of GRONINGEN (UMCG). Filip is the contact.
• IHE presentation – introduction to IHE PaLM activity and technical framework at JACLaS October 11-13, 2018 (Kobe, Japan)
• Presentation of IHE basics and DICOM Digital Pathology Visions meeting November 5 – 6, 2018 (San Diego, CA)

- There was support of a joint IHE and DICOM Connectathon – now looking for date for the Connectathon in 2019: first IHE option April 8 – 12, 2019 in France; this may be too early, a better plan is for North America Jan 21-25, 2020. An alternative is to host it at the next Digital Pathology Visions meeting in October 6-8, 2019 in Orlando, FL. DPA would support that.

- PaLM is invited to the European Pathology Congress for a joint meeting with DICOM WG 26 on April 11 – 13, 2019 Warwick, GB

- Will LAW and LIVD be CLIA recommendation? There was a CLIAC meeting was last week; Mary to find out if it was on the agenda.

- OO has a project to provide mapping v2 to FHIR elements; possibly after that and when FHIR has workflow worked out we could target work on LOI and LRI

- Remove the harmonization bullet but add a bullet about discussion to create new LCSD profile based on FHIR catalog resources

- Need to still get feedback on the LIVD and LAW piece from Ed

- Include future plans for TMA

• There was a comment ballot in May 2018, have to publish as Trial Implementation – need to check with Dan to get that done, then we have the technical team to build the profile in Gazelle
• Also has possibility of implementation at university hospital in Belgium (Leuven + Antwerpen)
• In December Filip to meet with Epic Netherlands about implementing TMA (December 19th : MIPS offices in Ghent Belgium)
