2	HIMSS12 - Sandy	Status/Discussion: Sandy described the long time desire to integrate PCD into a larger story. PCD draws a lot of interest, and integration will help attract visitors as well as showing the larger picture. She also described the desire to have 10 use cases, down from about 30. In the past there were multiple instances of many of them. She wants to develop a clear picture of what IHE can do, which didn’t work well in the past, so this should provide clarity. Sandy noted that PCD will need walls for mounting devices and having server space. The format at this time will use pods for the other domains. In the middle of four pods there will be a smaller PCD room shared with A-V, office space or other function. An application may be starting in one pod, flowing to PCD then on to another pod. Manny described the four use cases, with numbers 1 and 8 under development. He described the approach as limiting the number of instances for registration, and moving some vendors/systems to other stories in October when registration is over. Sandy has scheduled a meeting in October to arrange systems within use cases, and at that time the clinical stories and participating devices/systems will be moved/aligned. Al asked about the timeline. HIMSS Registration ends September 23 (Connectathon registration ends September 30). PCD will integrate our story with the other domains that precede and follow the PCD portion of the tour. Sandy requested ideas for making the PCD walls more effective with graphics, such as a picture of a PCD office or ICU, etc. John Rhoads indicated that more time is required to think this through. Robert expressed concern about limiting the number of use cases for multiple instances of the same types of equipment. Sandy responded that hopefully, this approach won’t discourage vendors to sign up for participation when they know there are others with the same devices. Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
