Domain Coordination Issues

• Strategy for incorporating FHIR into IHE profiles and Connectathon testing

• Steve Moore developed Document outlining FHIR-related Issues after attending ITI meetings and Keith Boone's training session
• Questions include timing of adoption of FHIR for profiles and for Connectathon testing; how to reference FHIR resources; how frequently to update profiles to incorporate evolving FHIR resource specifications.

• HL7 has identified different levels of maturity (0-5) for FHIR resources than were used for previous HL7 standards

• Independent of the question of whether something is in DSTU or is "Normative"
• FHIR is currently on DSTU 2 and HL7 has plans to release 2.1 (in May) and 3
• Need to identify the maturity level of each resource and the source DSTU in profiles based on FHIR
• Profiles should not go to final text until the underlying standards are fully mature
• Create list of resources and current maturity level
• ITI has formed a work group to coordinate how different domains profile FHIR

• John Moehrke and Keith Boone have been tagged as leaders of that group

• Need guidance in terms of timing and coordination of testing resources for Connecathons

• Domain Committees need to keep abreast of the evolution of FHIR standards

• Require that profiles always reference the "Current Official Published Version" and include the version number
• Looking to define guidelines for use by all domains

• Experience developing MHD profile gives ITI a good perspective on the possibilities and limitations of using FHIR. Plan on republishing all FHIR-based supplements (MHD, PIX/PDQ, etc.) in new versions by March to address changes in DSTU 2 update

• Action: Invite ITI leadership work group to next DCC teleconference and review above questions regarding guidelines needed for profile development based on FHIR (referencing, timing, cycles, etc.) across domains

• Reconvening of Documentation Work Group

• Refinement of Templates

• Potential change of approach to profile publication
• Managing obsolete documents
• A call for participation distributed by Nichole and Nancy

• Main issues with templates include:

• Adding new content types
• Updating glossary and actor list

• Action: Mary J. and RSNA to schedule a call with interested work group volunteers

• Tools and Processes for OID, Name Space Management

• Interest in reconvening this work group
• Previous discussions did not lead to development of an official process
• Extracting OIDs from existing profiles is a challenge that has not yet been addressed

• Recent profiles have a defined section where authors declare OIDs

• Seeking suggestions for completing extraction work and develop an ongoing management and publication process
• Ultimate goal is to have library where items reside
• Action: Distribute call for interested candidates to reconvene working group

• Review the current listing of IHE Profiles implemented and in use in major US initiatives

• Spreadsheet of IHE Profiles Supporting Major Initiatives

Documentation, Websites and Public Information

• Reconvening Documentation Work Group shortly after beginning of new year

Governance Implementation

• Membership Update

• Renewed member list

• Committee Feedback

New Business
