• IHE/HL7 Implementation Guide Link
• noone available to lead discussion; see next item.

• Developing volume 3 supplement template for definition of content modules
  • The model of adopting IHE Cardiology CIRC profile as a general model is called into question by publication of Consolidated CDA (C-CDA) Implementation Guide by HL7 IHE Health Story
    • Action: Teri Sippel to try to set up call between IHE Documentation Work Group and IHE Health Story Consolidation Project (under Structured Document Work Group)

• Reinvigorating development committee volunteer activity - continue discussion- 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?

• Please see the meeting minutes from the January 17th DCC call for proposals and discussions:
  • January 17, 2012 Minutes
    • Discussed implementing rules around document review within committee
    • Require that every supplement published have two designated reviewers, who need to submit comments
    • Reviewers would be listed on title page along with authors
    • Cross-domain review has not proven practical in previous efforts
    • Require named reviewers on Trial Implemenation drafts of documents; build that as a requirement in the supplement template; make submission of reviewer names part of data about the document published elsewhere (not in the document itself, perhaps in Mary Jungers' publication database)
    • Record in minutes when a given profile has been discussed in committee
    • Volume 1 needs to be heavily reviewed in committee; implementers needed to review Volume 2
    • Action Item: Kevin O'Donnell will implement reviewer policy in Radiology

Documentation, Websites and Public Information

• Documentation Work Group (15 min - Teri Sippel Schmidt; Mary Jungers)

• progress made on General Intro, Vol 1, Vol 2, Vol 4 "shells" for new domains and for eventual transition by existing domains
• progress on Content Module Supplement Template - really looking for input from PCC and QRPH
• proposal for Volume 3 structure, looking for early feedback since this will affect YOU:
  • 1: Introduction
  • 2: This section intentionally left blank.
  • 3: This section intentionally left blank.
  • 4: Data Models (e.g., bindings, meta data model)
  • 5: This section intentionally left blank.
  • 6: Content Module Definitions
• No objections to the "sections left blank" approach above. Generally agreed that we need to take this approach, especially for PCC and QRPH so that all of the documentation links and test cases/test plan links do not get broken by a documentation structure change (which would induce many, many errors).

• Volume 3 supplement template will be forthcoming in the next several weeks. Requires resolution of questions about CDA Consolidation Project above.

• Technical Framework Publication Planning and Schedule - 2012 cycle (10 min Mary Jungers)

• reminder of/reintroduction to the process
• Hard dates needed for the testing and tools committee
• Action: Mary will be making calls to Domain Co-chairs this week to confirm publication schedule

Next steps and New Actions Items

• Next Call Feb 14, 2012, 9am-10:30am CT
