Minutes

1. General Committee Business

• Approval of Minutes from July 7 teleconference

• <Motion> Minutes approved unanimously

2. New Business: from Domain Coord - Future Agenda Topics Page

• Reviewed and updated page
• Name space management and information librarian position are urgent to be addressed in near term

5. Domain Coordination Issues

• IHE Support for Application Acknowledgment

• ITI has received CP to allow enhanced mode as well as original mode

• Original mode is a "one-shot acknowledgment"
• Enhanced mode is "two-shot" message
• Current departmental workflow profiles (eg, Rad SWF) rely on original mode
• Some use cases, such as PCD infusion pump profile, require application-level acknowledgment
• The baseline should remain original mode acknowledgment, allowing "override" where use cases require
• ITI holding discussion Thursday, July 16, 3:30-4:30 CT on how to address

• Table of Cross Domain Profile Dependencies

• 2008 version
• Proposed Spreadsheet Form

• Responsibility for assessing impact of any changes to a profile depended upon rests with the affected domain
• Dependency type is not a defined list of categories (at least initially)
• Changes to profiles with dependencies will be included in Domain Announcements on Domain Coordination Committee tcons

• Action Item: Chris Carr to propagate revised structure on ITI tab across domains and add tabs for all domains
• Action Item: Chris Carr to send message to Domain Co-chairs to add listings to the appropriate tabs of profiles in their domains that rely on profiles in that domain
• Action Item: Allow two months for co-chairs to add data and review on subsequent tcon
• Action Item: Karen Witting will create process page for review on subsequent tcon

• Review of updates to CP Process page (made January 2009) pursuant to Action Item.

• Decide whether updates should be accepted as standard procedure or left to domain discretion
• Standard procedure includes file version codes of FT and IN to indicate CPs that have reached the Final Text and Incorporated states respectively

• ITI and PCC use Wiki pages and status spreadsheets to manage CP documents and do not designate all status changes in a file by changing file name
• <Motion> Committee to decide whether a) the additional three document status filenames are included as the normative process or b) they are removed from the normative process and documented as a deviation by radiology and other domains that use them

• Option b was selected by a 5-3 margin
