Julie Richards announced the integration of IHE Canada into the Standards Collaborative and this was very well received by attendees. Mike felt that the reception of this and the expression of interest about collaboration with IHE Canada was even greater than he expected. There was a lot of discussion about IHE involvement both within various SCWG meetings and in informal conversations. There was talk of using some left over money in the DI portfolio to sponsor some XDS-I demonstrations.

| 2 | IHE Canada Integration into the Infoway Standards Collaborative. | Mike Nusbaum gave a recap of the latest discussions. He has been working with Margie Kennedy plus had a few meetings with Julie Richards. José and Mike prepared a slide deck of the proposed integration of IHE Canada into the Canada Health Infoway Standards Collaborative. This was presented to the Standards Collaborative Governance Committee. The committee endorsed the proposal so integration is nearing completion. Infoway's legal department has a series of questions and Margie has sent these in the Sep 20th e-mail that José circulated to the board. The goal is to have the process completed by March 21st, 2011, which coincides with their new budget year. Soft launch for integration into the Partnership is planned for the November Partnership meetings in Vancouver. IHE Canada is being incorporated into all the constituencies. Need to have a formal approval from the IHE Canada board to dissolve our current not for profit society.
David Koff asked about the legal costs associated with dissolution. This needs to be investigated. David Heaney circulated the link to the Quebec Registration web site that gives instructions regarding dissolution. The IHE Canada funds balance was discussed. We agreed to turn over the remaining bank balance to host the HIMSS sponsored IHE Technical Committee domain meetings in Toronto from Feb 7th to 10th, 2011. the ITI, PCC, Quality Research in Public Health, and possibly the PCD meetings will be held in Toronto. David Heaney will work with Chris Carr to find out if the RSNA sponsored IHE Radiology Technical Committee can also meet in Toronto at this time. Infoway's request for more information was discussed. The documents circulated by José were reviewed. Mike asked if we have more documentation regarding the registration of the IHE Canada name and proof of our registration. José e-mailed the letters patent for IHE Canada. David Heaney sent in the confirmation of our not for profit society. The precise status of IHE Canada's finances was discussed. Approval was given to José for his travel costs to Chicago and for the hosting cost of IHE Canada web site for the past year. The IHE Canada presentation for the upcoming Partnership meetings were discussed. Mike Nusbaum will work on completing this. David Heaney will contribute a slide on the IHE Radiology data synchronization work. The status of XDS-I as an Infoway approved standard was discussed. There is a problem because of the move from XDS.a-I to XDS.b-I. David Heaney will prepare a presentation regarding the status of XDS.b-I and ask to get this on the SCWG6 agenda for the Partnership meetings. Need to give proof of at least two working XDS.b-I implementations. Discussion of Infoway's certification process for Diagnostic Imaging. It states that vendors will be able to use their IHE Connectathon results as a "valid means to demonstrate that their application(s) are compliant with the Infoway certification process for IHE Profiles, Actors, and Transactions". Jose circulated the Infoway e-mail regarding this certification process to the board. We can decide via e-mail how best to circulate this information. |

| 1 | Welcome and call to order | José Mussi welcomed the IHE Canada members. Start of teleconference had been moved to 3:30pm. |
| 2 | IHE Canada discussions with Canada Infoway | Mike Nusbaum gave a brief update regarding the IHE Canada meeting at the Partnership meetings in April. The official notice of the IHE Canada meeting at the Partnership Meetings will come out next week and will be posted to the Partnership web site. David Heaney agreed to send out notice of the meeting to all the IHE Canada mailing lists and to the XDS Implementation group mailing list. Mike Nusbaum will ask Elaine Huesing to post the meeting notice to the ITAC web site. He will also e-mail the appropriate Linked-in professional groups. The next meeting with Margie Kennedy of Infoway will be in a couple of weeks by which time the Infoway budget should be finalized. So we should have a clearer picture by then. Margie Kennedy has asked IHE Canada to do a mapping of IHE Canada objectives to those defined for the Standards Collaborative. She sent an e-mail with this documentation. Mike Nusbaum will review this. José Mussi, Mike Nusbaum, Jody Lynch, and David Heaney stated that they will be attending the Partnership Meetings in April. |
| 3 | IHE Canada Web Site | Jody Lynch stated that he has begun working on the web site. He has obtained some tools for maintaining the site and will begin publishing the new content soon. David Heaney stated that he has begun updating the IHE Canada wiki site. Mike Nusbaum suggested that we switch to posting meeting agendas and minutes right onto the wiki rather than as separate documents. |
| 4 | Alberta Netcare XDS-I Patient ID Link/Unlink | There was discussion of the Alberta Netcare proposal. There was a consensus that we should try to get these use cases handled directly in the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework rather than having Alberta come up with their own proprietary specifications. The concern is that we know IHE Technical Committees are already discussing many of the same use cases, and we don't want the IHE Technical Committees to come up with different solutions to the same issues in the future. Jody Lynch stated that he would offer this feedback back to Alberta Netcare. David Heaney said we would provide the necessary IHE work item template and would assist with the creation of this work item proposal. |
| 5 | Close of Meeting | We decided to hold the next IHE Canada meeting on Friday, April 9, 2010 at 02:00PM EST. |
