Domain Coord - Future Agenda Topics

Feel free to add proposed agenda items here.

Urgent: For Next Meeting

Try to indicate why it's urgent

• Supplement Packaging for TI and PC
  • Urgent because we should get this resolved before we get too far in this cycle
  • Most domains publish one supplement document for each profile containing both Volume 1 and Volume 2 material
  • Eyecare and RadOnc are publishing an updated TF Volume 1 document and an updated TF Volume 2
  • This may be confusing for readers (which is the Real TF) and inconvenient for reviewers (have to handle two documents for each supplement being reviewed or trial implemented)
  • Is there a good reason to use this format?

Near Term

When the Committee has assigned an item to an upcoming call the [date is shown]

• Barcode / RFID Usage in Transactions Involving Patient IDs
  • A number of PCD transactions are predicated on the point-of-care identification of a patient, as well as clinicians, devices, medications, etc. There have been a number of requests for profiling the information and format per technology used.
  • Which domain(s) should collaborate on this activity?

• Security Cookbook [March 31]
  • where to put the risk assessment spreadsheet template on the FTP?
  • need of a volunteer profile editor (outside of ITI) to test the cookbook with guidance from ITI technical committee.
  • PCC Tech may apply cookbook in Interpartum Care Profile
  • Goal is to walk through using the cookbook in profile development

• Technical Framework Template Review and Update (Sept. 2 Tcon)
  • Proposals

• IHE URN Namespace [March 31]
  • Request from ITI committee member that since we are using the urn:ihe:iti... namespace URN: IHE should really register its URN namespace usage with IANA.

• Cross-Domain TF References
  • How to cross reference across domains given that PCC supports wiki management of their Technical Framework. How can other domains interact most effectively as they build off of the PCC framework. Effects ITI and Lab so far.

• Non-participating Domains - [Aug 19 TCon]
  • need action plan to pull missing co-chairs into this Cmte
  • May be able to springboard from Domain Applications
  • E.g. "Welcome to IHE" email to cochairs of Approved domains outlining responsibilities, linkups

• Template for Domain Reports to the Board
  • What should the board hear about each domain
  • Draft a template and an example.
  • Short, informative

• New Committee Member Welcoming Process
  • Form letter
  • How to get on the mailing list
  • How the Committee Page works
  • Pointer to Domain Timeline and current meeting schedule
  • Pointer to policies, procedures and processes

• Updated Email Ballots explanation page at Email_Ballots

• Coordination of CPs with Translated TFs
  • National Committees submit National Extensions which may include translations to local language
  • National Committees may translate TFs
  • We should discuss procedures/mechanisms for keeping translated text up to date with the National groups
  • What translated text currently exists?

"Parking Lot"

Review these from time to time for activation

• IHE Review Committees - Revisit after "HL7 Review Taskforce" pilot has made some progress
  • Previously tried to do a single Review Cmte and the volume is intractable
  • Consider Standard oriented cross-domain review committees
  • E.g. IHE HL7 Review Cmte, IHE DICOM Review Cmte, IHE WebServices Review Cmte, IHE CDA Review Cmte
  • Basically for any standard that is used across more than one domain
  • Any transaction created in any Domain using a certain standard, must be sent to the relevant Review Cmte.
  • Transaction authors must participate in the review

• Supplement Template - [Nov 2008]
  • Consider if it would help to add more explanatory material
  • See HITSP Templates for example
  • Consider copying in material from Process pages on editing Supplements

Completed

If you think we've covered it, but aren't comfortable deleting it yet (it remains in History), then move it here

• Board Representative Selection for Domains
  • Deadlines in March
  • Learnings from domain representative elections:
    • Lack of update-to-date roster (see ITI Plan Roster which lists Keith Boone as a representative of Dictophone) means that it is not clear what organizations are eligible. Led to 40-50% ineligible votes in ITI, PCC, PCD and QRPH. All future votes should only be conducted with an up-to-date roster available to all participants. Roster should be referenced in every email ballot.
    • Should elections for board representative count toward maintaining or acquiring voting rights? Alternatively, is the fact that an organizations submitted a vote (not the contents of a vote, just the submission) be public or private? Should ineligible votes lead to eligible voting in the next meeting/vote? I propose that every email ballot explain the handling of ineligible votes.
    • When an organizations submits a vote that is not counted should that organization be notified?

• HL7 2.x Versioning (delegated to HL7 Review Taskforce)
  • Strategies
  • Backward compatibilities or not
  • ...
