Minutes
Landen Welcomes Finnie Flores, a new attendee, and offers some background. Finnie's main interest is the Administrative Data White Paper. Clinical Research is not a focus for him, and so he will observe process only.
Mark Arratoon presents the relationship between RPE and CRPC, using the PowerPoint presentation of the Detailed Proposal from Landen and Vassil and a Word document on RPE Testing Examples. Both of these documents can be found at the FTP site here: ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Quality/2012_2013_YR_6/QRPH_Technical/Supplement_Work/CRPC/. Mark makes the point that CRPC stands in the same relationship to RPE as CDA does to XDA, or as CRD does to RFD. XDS, RPE, and RFD are all content neutral profiles. The RPE testing document has content sufficient for testing RPE at the upcoming Connectathon.
Vassil reviews the tasks specified in the detailed proposal:
- Discuss and determine the data representing the information needed to be exchanged in each of the use cases presented.
- Align the data needed with existing standards
- Determine the format of the content modules
- Formalize the structure of the content modules and the new profiles.
- Provide end-to-end descriptions of the workflows using RPE and the new content profiles.
The specific task needed for Volume 1 completion, which is due to QRPH Tech by the third week of January, is to create a Volume 1 shell, populate with the use cases from the detailed proposal, and to elaborate one of the use cases to include a sample protocol. Beyond that, the profile will link RPE transactions to the transfer or specific information as specified by the protocol. Vassil reminds the group that it will be possible to use multiple protocol formats to accomplish this. Landen volunteers to create the shell, using the new template, and to copy the use cases verbatim from the detailed proposal. Landen will also upload the context documents and the new shell to the ftp server.
The group will continue to meet at 1400 CT on Tuesdays, including next week.
