- Mike Nausbaum synthesizing formats for review at next Board mtg at HIMSS Feb 9th
- Update on outcome of North American Connectathon 2012 - Kevin O'D and Chris Carr
- All numbers are UP 10-20% across the board - huge success!
- 117 vendors
- 169 systems
- 480 vendor engineers
- 20-30% increase in number of profiles/actors per system
- 63 monitors
- plus additional staff
- >4000 test instances completed and verified!!!
- 170 mid-week conference attendees
- connectathon walk-throughs well attended and much better scripted
- conference presentations -many by IDNs and deployments
- conference presentations will be published on ihe.net
- Reinvigorating development committee volunteer activity - Karen W
- Problem Statement: General concern is that committees are becoming fragmented where small groups, or individuals, develop profiles and there is little cross-review amongst the different profile development mini-groups. Result is lower quality profiles. Is there anything the DCC or Board can do to help the situation?
- General agreement: quality gap becoming evident at Trial Implemenation due to less review during Public Comment
- committee members overwhelmed by number of new supplements/fatigue
- Problem is both internal to committees as well as external (cross-domain)
- Strength of IHE is speed (annual cycle) and vendor input during implementation phase; perception is TI version quality may suffer as a result; vendor input during TI phase is very valuable however
- Decision to go to Final Text is crucial if quality is suffering in TI
- Discourage sub-committees or small groups within domains; moves away from broader review and understanding
- Proposal for a new rule: anyone who submits a profile has to also review two profiles
- Key Proposal: create implementer groups for profiles (or groups of profiles) in trial implementation
- Use Connectathons to recruit implementers to provide feedback; schedule follow-up call before and after each major Connectathon (four calls per year?)
- Profile authors need to participate in discussions and respond to input from implementers
- Bring proposal to Board for consideration of broader implementation
- Add to next DCC call for further review
Documentation, Websites and Public Information
- Documentation Work Group - Teri Sippel Schmidt
- significant progress made on TF General Introduction - will be published as a web page (centrally maintained); will pull alot of intro material out of each domain's Technical Framework Vol 1 to minimize errors;
- Technical Framework Vol 1, Vol 2, and Vol 4 "shells" almost completed for new domains; existing domains will need to adapt (eventually, after current Supplement template has been properly vetted)
- Really need more input on Content Module (Vol 3) Supplement Template, especially from PCC and even QRPH. Only current input is from Cardiology (CIRC).
