Introduction

This page contains the details of Change Proposal (CP) processing in the ITI domain for the 2016-17 publication cycle.

The ITI Change Proposal process follows the general IHE CP process described on the Change Proposal process page. The following sections give more detail on the process for folks involved in the CP process in the ITI domain.

The ITI-specific CP Process

The following text explains what the process used by the ITI technical committee in processing submitted CPs. It is consistent with the general IHE CP process and is informative only.

  1. Write a change proposal. Here is IHE's Change Proposal Template
  2. Submit into the Incoming directory. This is typically done by directly updating the directory if you have access; otherwise send it an email to the ITI Technical Committee members in charge of CPs (currently Lynn Felhofer).
  3. The new CPs are considered by the committee at periodic CP review calls. If CP is accepted it is given a CP #, assigned an editor, renamed to CP-ITI-xxx-00.doc and placed in Assigned. If CP is rejected it is moved to Rejected and submitter is informed of explanation for rejection. Likely reasons for rejection are: duplicate, merged, withdrawn or not enough information to understand the request. Rejected CPs can be resubmitted with more information for reconsideration.
  4. Committee works with editor to draft the CP. Versions are kept in Assigned directory and numbered -00, -01, -02, etc.
  5. Committee decides CP is ready for ballot. Latest version of CP is moved to Completed diretory and old versions are moved to old_versions.
  6. Co-chair collects Completed CPs into a ballot. The Ballot directory will be used for this.
  7. Ballot is released to the general community for voting for 4 weeks
  8. Votes and comments are collected. All yes votes means the CP passed ballot and moved to FinalText. No votes are resolved by the committee. Sometimes CP is withdrawn, sometimes NO voter changes to yes vote after explanations. CP may be updated in this process. If updates are insignificant (clarification only) the CP is considered passed. If updates are significant the CP is submitted for another ballot.
  9. CP approved in ballot are put in FinalText and scheduled to be integrated into the Technical Framework or Supplement.

Directory Structure

As CPs are processed through various statuses they move from one directory to another. The directories involved are:

Incoming
contains CPs which have been submitted but have not been assigned a CP number or an editor. This is the place that new incoming CPs are placed prior to the first stage of processing by the committee.
Assigned
contains CPs that have been assigned an editor and are being actively worked on by the committee, i.e. Assigned status
Completed
contains the last version of a CP that is in Completed status. It is waiting to be put in a ballot
FinalText
contains the last version of a CP that is in FinalText status. It is has been approved by ballot and is waiting to be integrated into the TF.
Integrated
contains the version of the CP that was integrated into the TF.
Rejected
CPs that have been submitted by rejected by the committee
Canceled
contains CPs that have been canceled, i.e. Canceled status
Ballots
contains Ballots that have been released for voting by the general community
Status
contains spreadsheets describing the status of CPs.

Change Proposal pages from previous years

Ongoing work on CPs is placed on the current year CP page. Prior years work can be accessed at:

ITI CP Tracking

Location of CPs, and CP status

All Change Proposal management is done on the IHE ftp site here.

ITI tracks status of its Change Proposals on the "CPs tracking" tab in this google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gdr_Y8xZBvbb326J4z67cqprxOexFgtkPj_VlD3rB9E/edit?usp=sharing

Approved CPs integrated into the ITI Technical Framework

CPs that have passed ballot in since 2015, and that have been, or will be, integrated into the ITI Technical Framework are listed on the "Ballot Log" tab of the tracking spreadsheet.

CPs that have already been integrated into the Technical Framework are stored here: ftp://ftp.ihe.net/IT_Infrastructure/TF_Maintenance/CPs/4_Integrated/

In Aug 2017, CPs will be integrated & checked following this process : ITI CP Integration Process

(2) Assigned Metadata Update CPs ready for discussion ftp://ftp.ihe.net/IT_Infrastructure/TF_Maintenance/CPs/1_Assigned/

  • Sep 7 results:
    • 559 - MPQ profile queries vs Metadata Update option - re-assigned to Mark who will update both the rationale and the note added by the CP based on Sep 7 discussion. This updated CP will then be balloted.
    • 756 - MPQ fixes to ensure Metadata Update compatibility - this CP will be Cancelled; we will not accommodate MPQ queries in the context of MU. Since CP 559 is also MPQ-related and will be balloted, Mark will update 559 to include the rationale for not updating MPQ queries for MU.
    • 785 - Patient ID Consistency in stored query responses wrt XDS metadata update - there was an extensive discussion of issues and alternatives
      • In the November timeframe, Bill will be writing MU test cases to expose current Registries' behavior for these queries
      • In parallel, Mark will write up use cases for an administration (not Doc Consumer) in the context of this CP
      • These two efforts will provide more detail from two perspectives and will inform how this CP will eventually be resolved; no textual changes will be proposed until these efforts make the path forward clearer.
  • Sep 23 CPs for discussion:
    • 765 - Metadata Update Queries with MU level not set/set to 1 - assigned to Bill
    • 810 - Update ITI Security Considerations in MU Supplement - assigned to Ken
    • 939 - Update MU Supplement to adjust for redoc of ITI-41 and 42 - assigned to Karen
    • 962 - MU - Add parameters for SQ-FindDocumentsByReferenceId - assigned to Ken

(3) Incoming MU CPs for consideration ftp://ftp.ihe.net/IT_Infrastructure/TF_Maintenance/CPs/0_Incoming/

  • Sep 7 results:
    • CP-ITI-KM_MU_Asynchronous_Support.doc - accepted as CP 964 assigned to Ken, but scope was changed; we will not add async option to Doc Admin, but we will add a note to clarify the scope of transactions that must be supported, eg if a Registry supports async & MU, it does not have to support async on MU transactions. This CP will be moved out of the MU effort and discussed next on Sep 27
