Domain Coordination Issues
1. Review the current listing of IHE Profiles implemented and in use in major US initiatives
2. Spreadsheet of IHE Profiles Supporting Major Initiatives
- 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.
- Feel this is a promotion of only certain initiatives
- Need to promote the Case Studies submissions as well in conjunction with compiling this spreadsheet (http://ihe.net/Case_Study_Submission_Form.aspx)
- Action Items: Diplomatically request verification and permission from the key organizations listed.
- Change column heading from Sponsor to Major Stakeholder
- Identify contacts for each major stakeholder
