Peter: Kaiser and VA working to trade documents as part of NHIN project. Goal is to assure the appropriate set of medical device semantic components is included in the appropriate location in CDA/CCD documents and HL7 v3 nessages. Todd will ask the VA as to whether there is still any interest in this project. Todd will schedule a webex the end of August/early September to discuss the status of the profile proposal and identify what needs to happen to move it forward in this next cycle. Will be addressed in Vancouver meeting the week of September 15. The HITSP CMDC/CDC Use Case includes a document communication profile. HL7 Technical Steering Committee, HITSP management, VA and Kaiser are considering how to move this forward. The technical requirements are clear, but there’s a lack of a sufficient number of volunteers to do the work. Will likely come up next week at HITSP meetings. PCD and HL7 will meet at HIMSS.
