  • PaLM roster is now available on the wiki at: <a href="http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/PaLM_Meeting_Roster">http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/PaLM_Meeting_Roster</a>
  • Teleconference recordings are now available via meeting minutes on the wiki
  • net domain page still lists AP and Lab which contain links to the obsolete google groups;
    • Mary and Carolyn to work on getting this resolved (deprecate AP and LAB) and replace with our new PaLM domain with correct information and links
    • Add this as a topic for Secretary and DCC meeting agendas for escalation
    • Sabrina to follow up with Mary Jungers and Chris Carr
  • Discussion on Structured Reporting / data capture / cross domain white paper – Raj Click here for MergedProposal_PALM_RFJ.docx
    • Where would we keep a data element repository?
      • IHE ?
      • csDSR ?
      • Create something new with global support?
      • Need a way to index the concepts we are going to capture as part of this profile.
    • What do we need to add to the German proposal to make it work for IHE ? What would we need to do in order to add a clinical path ?
    • Standards – can we develop a license with IHTSDO to be able to use SNOMED CT in all of the IHE profiles where it is currently used ? Chris Carr working on this currently.
    • Idea of a global registry ?
    • Raj to continue to develop ideas and white paper with JD and Francois
      • Google doc
      • Combine use case 6 with either use case 1 or 3
      • Focus on 3 use cases to move forward
        • JD recommends use cases 1, 2, and 3 while leveraging the German work and remove SMART for now.
        • Raj will post back to google docs
      • Francois mentioned that the white paper will bring the arguments and options that Raj had mentioned.
    • Estimated time allotment for F2F in Berlin : If we can complete three use cases and also have time to talk about the central registry, then :
      • 1 hour for use cases
      • 1 hour for data registry
    • We will use a core editing team for the doc shared in googleDoc
      • Others to review and comment
      • Mary will collate all edits
    • Discussion of Specimen Event Tracking (SET) – Alessandro Click here for SET Work in Progress Document
      • Four SET use cases emerging so far
        • Use case 1: specimen tracking around blood specimen collection
        • Use case 2: inter-organization specimen event tracking
        • Use case 3: intra-organization specimen event tracking – work area of lab
          • Potential overlap with LDA, LSH, LAW on specimen handoff
        • Use case 4: biobanking – will focus only on specimen event (not biobanking per se.)
          • Specimen archival not included-just high level of tracking
          • Additional profile needed for biobanking
        • Next Steps:
          • Complete LDA/LAW/LSH analysis
          • Collect documents for Biobank analysis
          • Remaining PaLM profiles/use cases analysis
          • First version of a SET proposal to be shared via Google group
            • Alessandro to share draft week of May 6^th
          • Allocate 1.5 hours for SET discussion at Berlin F2F
        • Face to Face Meeting in Berlin, May 23 – 25, 2016 - Francois
