Meeting Notes

1. Profile proposal evaluation - EP Report Content
   • Bryan has reworked comments from previous group review and these have been posted in an updated version (2) on ftp site [1], these changes were reviewed in the meeting
   • Discussed the concept of "episode of care" - both based on medical condition and other event - we will defer to EP Physician community to define the term for our work.
   • multiple use-cases identified depend on diffrent parts of the overall document structure and we may have to capture the flow with dedicated implementation guides per e.g. encounter, results, specialized utilizing templates and other guidance to illustrate which structure elements are appropriate to the focused medical-business need.
   • Scope - This proposal is focused on device placement - should it also include other e.g. ablation procedures - We believe it could be accommodated.
