Introductions:

Proposals Review

• ED Bed Management
  • need to automate the process to support coordination - coordinate the hospital staff and resources
  • need to be able to do analytics
  • interaction with other systems - patient registration, bed management, staffing, EHRs - all these systems have to communicate
  • many folks who end up admitted to the hospital start in the ED
  • lack of interoperability causes inefficiency
  • this profile will increase the interoperability between systems which will reduce delays, errors and increase utilization of the facility resource and improve patient care
  • considered FHIR - however, none of the current systems implementation support FHIR today. Propose use of HL7 V2 rather than FHIR
  • suggestion to make this generic enough to be used at a departmental level not solely for ED
  • why is this important? Identification that this is big gap.
  • can serve as jumping off point to incorporate intra-facility transfers
  • cost savings with improvement in patient wait time; improved care outcomes
  • support predictive modeling in terms of admission - why are patients coming into the ED
  • continue participation from the students
  • call the profile "Bed Management Profile" acronym suggest 'BED'
  • Implementability - using existing stuff. No new messages
  • core content is already written - lot more content but straight forward ADT content.

• Cardiology Consult and Pathology Board
  • In Person: Keith Bone, Thom Kuhns, George Cole, Anne Diamond, Elena Vio, Emma Jones, Celina Roth, Denise Downing, Chris melo
  • On Phone: Cardiology planning committee (Paul Dow, John Donnelly, Charles, etc), Tone Southerland
  • improves interaction between multidisciplinary and dynamic team of healthcare professional
  • currently, xds profile is not sufficient to support this workflow
  • Aim to define a standardize workflow to support and manage the dynamic heart team workflow between care settings. the composition of the care team and change based on the case and the person information is shared with can also change.
  • suggestion is to change the profile title to cardiology dynamic care team
  • solves communication and sharing of information issues and support dynamic enrollment of care team members; supports clinical protocols
  • Standards: XDW (workflow management), XDS (b-1 and b)/DSUB (used for notification when the document is published) - will need xdw actors to be defined (need correlation within PCCP tech other XDW actors)
  • review of the use cases
    • Discussion on simple case Vs Complex case and emergent vs complex case (cardiology suggestion was to modify the second use case to account for emergent situation which is outside the scope of this profile)
    • cardiology is looking for what this means and how to define the differences
      • feedback: looks like this is meant to be generalized to cover all of cardiology - looks like more of a case conference approach - cardiology to cardiology - There is need of this profile in other countries; like the fact that the workflow is nicely structured. Need to explore if there is a way to generalized this across orders.
      • can look at other workflow profiles and follow their approach at generality and how much specificity.
  • Request from cardiology to get an overview of XDW
  • Cardiology will set up the volume 1 t-cons - dates are Jan 20 and Feb 10 (PCC Feb F2F is Feb 15th)

• Dynamic Care Planning

Housekeeping

• BPMN (still have meetings scheduled)
• CP updates
