Minutes

Board Report Update - Paul Dow 5 mins

The suggested edits were applied per the comments made by the members. Paul will update the Cardiology rosters to reflect the current membership for this cycle. This will help us document the contributions of current members. More effort will be required to determine the other names listed to see if they are still the point of contact for the companies, and if not, then who should be listed.

CPN Extensions - Charles Thomas 15 mins

CPN Implementation Guidebook - Rebecca Baker 40 mins

Rebecca demonstrated how the guidebook can provide information to implementers. The current process has a user clicking a link from the table of contents to the ART Decor tool. This allows a user to see the technical details within the overall document, including LOINC codes and the column details to provide as much information as possible to help people understand the intent and scope of the profile. Data Type (DT), Cardinality (CARD) and Conformance (Conf) were defined. The discussion moved to the Results Organizers and Status Codes within the procedures. Dan Murphy offered to have an off-line meeting to review the specifications in more detail.
