Domain Coordination Issues

1. Outcome of July 12 discussions about Anatomic Pathology content profile and template for content profile supplements

  • Five domains have now created profiles incorporating CDA documents
  • Three needs were identified to ensure that CDA documents are generated and referenced in an efficient, uniform way:
  • Common Template for describing CDA documents
  • Registry where CDA documents and their component modules (sections, subsections, entries) can be published and accessed
  • Cross-domain method for defining, publishing and accessing CDA documents
  • Note that there will be CPs against templates in future
  • Action Item: Tone Southerland will produce overview of process for defining and publishing CDA documents in IHE profiles; Sept-Oct timeframe
  • General consensus that we should try to incorporate all necessary profile components into a single supplement template
  • Action Item: Mary Jungers and Tone Southerland will work on harmonizing current PCC template with general supplement template

2. ITI Cross-domain outreach process

  • No update on previous activities
  • Action Item: Chris Carr, Mike Nusbaum and Kevin O'Donnell to meet to discuss cross-domain strategic vision; call will follow Documentation Work Group call (see below)

3. HL7 Subgroup: ITI CP 211 Outcomes

  • CP ballot failed, but CP was re-scoped and seven reviewers agreed to comment on authors' work
  • Scope will be limited to HL7 versions 2.3.1 and 2.5; possibly brief notes on other versions

4. Complexity of IHE documentation

  • NHIN Direct has expressed concerns about convenience and organization of IHE documentation: intends to incorporate IHE documentation into its own documents
  • NHIN is not likely to propose making changes in documentation national extensions; IHE USA would be the logical group to take this on, but currently does not have the presence to do so
  • Current method of organizing documents requires developers to consult multiple volumes in order to find all the documentation for a given actor/profile; complexity is multiplied for systems that implement multiple actor/profiles
  • The Domain Coordination Committee and sponsors need to provide a way of better linking the components of specifications in Technical Framework documents
  • Examples to consider include cross-indexing of document sections by actor/profile and providing some other guidance on how to implement in systems (eg, typical groupings of actors in various system categories)
  • Other organizations (HL7, DICOM, HITSP, WC3) have addressed the complexity of their documentation with varying approaches and levels of success
  • Action Item: Establish Documentation Work Group to review organization of Technical Frameworks and Supplements and suggest improvements; Group to include Mary Jungers, Mike Nusbaum, Kevin O'Donnell, Tone Southerland, Karen Witting; First Teleconference: Monday, July 26, 10am CT

5. Templates for content and transaction profiles
