Domain Coordination Issues
- Documentation Work Group
- Work to harmonize of profile supplement templates
- Analysis has led to comparison of technical framework documents and recognition of need for template for technical framework volume 1
- Widest variation across domains is in Vol. I
- Have begun some work in comparing Volume I's across domains and building a table of variations
- Goal to have a single framework template for domain supplements to fit into; derive supplement template from that template
- HL7 Work Group
- ITI CP 211: status unknown
- Scheduling Tcon with Rob Horn and rest of Work Group
- Cross-domain Strategic Planning Work Group
- Review of teleconference discussion notes and request for comment
- Work Group identified two significant issues to be addressed:
- Uniformity of process and work output across committees
- Coordination of committee work items
- Coordination work between ITI (as infrastructure hub) and clinical specialties
- Coordination among clinical specialties with similar information processes and needs
- Potential Solutions for problem #1
- Enhance education materials and process, including Wiki, Webinars and templates
- Establish oversight body to enforce compliance (peer volunteer group or executive/expert review board)
- Potential Solutions for problem #2
- Expand domain liaison relationships to link specialties with one another and ITI
- Require early, substantive cross-domain review of supplement work proposals (could use Domain Coordination Committee)
- Perform strategic review of existing portfolio of profiles and identify gaps and overlap (for possible consolidation)
- ITI Model for Coordination
- Reviewed ITI Strategic Planning document
- Identified a representative to serve as liaison with each of the other domains
- Invited domains to submit reports as input to ITI profile selection process
- Grouped ITI profiles by "themes" and created matrix of profiles by them across domains
- Action Item: Committee members to review issues and proposed solutions above and be prepared to comment on the perspective of their domain and preferences for process improvements
- Action Item: Chris Carr to create Google spreadsheet version of ITI profile matrix and make available for editing by Domain Coordination Committee members
- Action Item: Domain Coord Cmte members to review and refine Domain Profile Matrix
- Non-participating Domains; quorum rules

- Updating Profile Library and Profile Overview Template
- Current template may be confusing or have too many requirements: takes profile authors a considerable amount of time to develop a profile description page
- Current list is missing many profiles, especially new ones, and needs to be updated
- Continue discussion on next tcon about possible revisions of template and process for getting missing profiles developed
