Domain Coordination Issues

• Update on responses from each domain

• Update on outcome of North American Connectathon 2012 - who?
• Reinvigorating development committee volunteer activity - Karen W

• IHE Board is requesting advice on above topic
• General concern is that committees are becoming fragmented where small groups, or individuals, develop profiles and there is little cross-review amongst the different profile development mini-groups. Result is lower quality profiles. Is there anything the DCC or Board can do to help the situation?

• Proposal for a new rule: anyone who submits a profile has to also review two profiles
• Proposal: create implementer groups for profiles (or groups of profiles) in trial implementation

• Use Connectathons to recruit implementers to provide feedback; schedule follow-up call before and after each major Connectathon (four calls per year?)
• Profile authors need to participate in discussions and respond to input from implementers

• Bring proposal to Board for consideration of broader implementation
• Add to next DCC call for further review
