Introduction of HIMSS and IHE (Celina Roth) Announcements regarding the domain (Celina Roth) Announcement Lisa Spellman

  • Presentation of the IHE domains in general
  • Having joint planning and technical QRPH committee meetings in order to help move the domain forward
  • Proposition about having two planning cycles in QRPH - still to decide
  • Explanation of the IHE working methodology
  • Voting priviledges
  • Determine logistics for the next meetings
  • Wendy Scharber mentioned the articulation between different domains and the different sponsors.
  • Different organizations are sponsors, aside from HIMSS such as ASIP Santé associated with the French Ministry of Health
  • Presentation of the QRPH domain and the general IHE processes by Ana Estelrich
  • Presentation of the technical points by Vassil (content, transations, and the articulation between them).
  • Discussion of content profiles and infrastructure profile (Ana, Vassil, Landen).
  • Explanation of the administative process
  • Detailed proposals between now and the joint planning/technical meeting in Novemeber
  • Put out information about how to fill out the detail proposal and what the process of selection is.
  • Explanation of profile, white paper (implementable, but addreses no a very clear solution), framing document (guidelines document). For note: an implementable white paper is the precursor for a profile. There is also the possibility to have it off-cycle as a white paper(6 months off-set).

Each domain produces a technical framework. Each chapter in the "book" or the "technical framework" is a profile that has originated in a supplement.

  • Volume 1 give a general overview of the process or of the content.
  • Volume 2 describes the technical details. A supplement can be a new profile and/or an existing profile.

The final text has to be written and publish, published for public comments for 30 days, then it will be published for trail implmentations. Sometimes the profiles are not implemented and it will be reviewed. They will be implmented at the Connectathon (two Connectathons, three vendors = final text). Sometimes the committee has to decide when the supplement becomes final text since the profiles are changes, the committee will approve.

* CRD is approaching becoming final text. Concern that the profile could be too limiting for Pulic Health. The participation to the Connectathon is not mandatory. There needs to be more clarifications about what it means to get certified at the Connectathon. As a Public Health there is no market share (Wendy Scharber), since the work is not for profit. This is a topic that needs to be further discussed within the public health realm.


* Next topic: Presentation of the excel sheet for priorization.

* 11:40 - Redaction Services Profile - Landen Bain.

Explanation of the profile. This profile tackles taking data from a private environment and exposing private data and potentially putting the research in course at risk. This case can be similar within Public Health realm. Redation services will be just like RFD. Originally this will address Clinical Research, but it could provide further basis for other subdomains such as public health. There is a link to the CRD.
