• Designed as a tool to be used in recruiting for Connectathons
• Want to build on the work done in 2013 shown in the spreadsheet including revisions to 2013 entries, additional entries and more international entries
• Looking for input on existing entries
• Will send out a survey/input sheet to the DCC and other domain representatives for groupings and profiles to add
  • Audience of the spreadsheet is implementers and the goal is to promote implementation of existing profiles
  • One other item to note on the spreadsheet for implementers: Is profile XXX a requirement for this initiative
• We have a mechanism already for submitting deployment projects and these people on this spreadsheet are not submitting their projects.

  • Need to promote the Case Studies submissions as well in conjunction with compiling this spreadsheet (http://ihe.net/Case_Study_Submission_Form.aspx)
