Suggested topics for PCD Spring Face to Face

Planning Committee

The Roadmap - is there a disconnect between the roadmap and what participants are really prepared to do?

How much of the way we are organized serves our long-term goals and what can we do about it?

What the heck are our long-term goals, anyway?

Technical Committee

Event driven processing: are EMR vendors really interested, what are the generic requirements and the infusion management requirements, should we treat Alarm Communications Management as a special case of event processing?

Asynchronous Data Query - where is it needed, when will clinical information systems be ready to play, what are the real requirements, do we need a phased approach?

Content Profiles and the mythical "volume 3"

Implementation Guides - what should be in them, how should they be organized (and who wants to work on them)

Point-of-care Identity Management: what are the problems? What can (and should) we say about the solutions?

How much of Medical Equipment Management can we accomplish using existing PCD-01? How much nomenclature do we already have? What do we need to add?

Traceability in PCD-01: MDSes, VMDs, Channels, Device identifiers and metrics, and what can we and EMR vendors do to associate data with sources? Who cares now? Who will care in the future?

Modeling approaches: Clinical Workflows, ICE-PAC and HL7 Detailed Clinical Models for Medical Devices

Are manufacturers going to sign up for system -> device and device <-> device interactions?
