41	Monitor FDA actions on Universal Device ID	Jeff Secunda	--	August 5, 2009	Closed	Ken reported that there is activity on this topic, but nothing concrete to report. He saw the headline to an article that claimed that the initial focus will be on Class III devices. A conference has been advertised. Manny to contact Jeff Secunda to ask if he is aware of more information. October 21, 2009: Jeff Secunda responded that Class Three devices will be addressed first, not before next year, and will address requirements rather than specific approach. Close.
91	Develop New Brief Profile Proposals for Cycle 5			August 5, 2009	Closed	For MEM: Battery management (leverage existing PCD-01), Location boundary alarms, Nomenclature requirements (Data types, names, value sets), Examine status of location services within HL7 Paul suggested including device related terms (status, etc.) and location information. Wiki page established. Call for new proposals shortly.Sept. 23: Multiparameter Decision Support Data Integration (Zaleskis) re clinical decision support system: Ken summarized the proposal. Location Tracking (Fuchs) has been submitted to the ITI domain because the scope is broader than devices. ITI will consider taking the lead and PCD will participate. Medical Equipment Management (Merritt). TheWP is out for public comment. Ken asked for comments on the priorities, sequence. He observed that for some of the use cases the data can be sent within existing profiles with additional coding. PIB Enhancements (Flanders). This addresses technical requirements and recommended practices. This arises from the potential for various system components having different patient identification data (race conditions, PDQ vs PAM issues, etc.) Enterprise ACM (Pattillo). Management of alarms across the enterprise may include non-device alarms. Ken asked if this should also be submitted to ITI. Middleware Systems (Stiefel). Some of this appears to be outside the scope of IHE. Steve suggested a WP would be useful. Ken suggested that some of this may be of interest to AAMI. Energy Delivery (Richards). Maureen summarized the proposal. Ken suggested this could be addressed as a device specialization issue. Terminology, semantics and parameters would be required. Ken asked if Maureen can help identify other companies and physicians that would be interested. IT system vendor participation would be worthwhile. Discussion with regard to recruiting receiving systems as well. Manny to send an email to Maureen, Anupriyo, John Hotchkiss. Query for Bulk Data (Fuchs). Carried forward from last year. Device Specialization (Cooper). Placeholders were provided, but Todd was at the HL7 meeting. October 21, 2009: Close
94	HITSP’s Meaningful Use	?		August 5, 2009	Closed	Jan is on the relevant tiger team. Jan and several PCD members will participate in developing the response. Maria will generate the materials, Jan will get it to HITSP, Lisa will contact HITSP and USHIK (within AHRQ). Anticipate this will pick up in mid-July including some PCD related items. Jan submitted some RTM items in the Tiger Team required format and showed that the semantic requirements differed from the original concepts. Definition of Meaningful Use has been published and does pertain to device connectitivity (target 2015]. [06/24/09]Co-chairs will be sending a letter asking that this be accelerated given the existing work that is already available. Meaningful Use: Todd sent note recommending device interoperability be moved up from 2015 to 2010. October 21, 2009: Close.
95	HIMSS10 Showcase	Manny	All those participating	March, 2010	Closed	September 23: Connectathon/Showcase: Manny noted registration is still open and recruiting can proceed. He noted efforts to attract participants in the AM-AC loop and shared the registration update. He will contact the ADT vendors to learn if they will support PCD this year, and HITSP to learn about CT and PCD-01 as HITSP profiles. October 21, 2009: This is on HITSP schedule for 2015; PCD will try to make this happen earlier since it is needed for other items on the schedule that are due earlier and PCD-01 is ready.
