  • Cath Lab Health Policy Statement by Dr Tcheng
    • Paul Dow to find out what the plan/status is
• MU Comments for Stage 3 are not processed yet. Due to the high amount of comment, ONC is re-thinking approach for MU-3
• ONC had a workshop a couple of weeks ago and is talking to deploy XDS and XDM to support HIEs. Approach is based on whitepaper published by IHE ITI.
• Connectathon participation
  • No testing of new IHE Card profiles during recent connectathons. Potential reasons:
    • There are no resources available to implement IHE due to high effort for achieving MU Goals
    • Multitude of profiles is too confusing for users. As long as customers do not request profile support, ´there is no pressure on vendors to implement them. Should profiles be bundled into complete solutions?
    • Are profiles to complex to implement? E.g. should IEO just address the communication between EHR and Image Manager?
