• Knowledge levels identified so far:

• First knowledge level to start: "Foundational level"
• Future knowledge levels identified: "Document sharing", "Radiology"

• Discussion

• Chris: Knowledge level "Imaging components" (across all domains) could be useful
• Mike: How this program will be operated and delivered must be developed (online course, by training centers, etc.)

• Stefan:

• First the content must be developed, then an appropriate "exam" will be designed, then the delivery must be developed
• Online course after HL7 manner is a good idea, but also certified exam-providers are possible

• Feedback on Report Template

• Reviewed Joyce's changes:

• Adding "National / Regional Deployment Committee Contact:" A very good idea. This should be the primary contact. This one is also the GDC representative. Should be Name + EMail

• Decisions:

• Future DC reports shall be captured by a Google Form, ending up in a Google Excel, which provides us the information in a very structured way
• First task: Identify all needed Information elements, then create the Google Form
• Second task: Synchronize with a slide presentation, best to "generate" it automatically
• Target date to release this new method: Mid-year 2015

• Next steps until next call:

• IMPORTANT: Identify key facts/numbers which are worth to be exchanged or have some marketing value

• in form of information elements for the Google form
