Minutes Jan 26-29

January 26th Monday

Agenda and introduction

Review of the ITI_Editors_Guidelines
Discussed suggestion to move May meeting one day early to start on Sunday, May 3 rather than current plan to start Monday, May 4. Conclusion delayed to later in the week.


Cross-Community Patient Identification (XCPI)

Reviewed IHE_Supplement_XCPI_2009.01.23.doc.

  • Reviewed use cases presented in document
  • Reviewed transaction descriptions as presented in document
    • Added Patient Query transaction


Access Control white paper

Presentation of a tentative walk through of the white paper.
Discussion about the detailed scope of the white paper. The committee agrees on the following points:

  • patient and provider safety should be added in the rationale for security part;
  • obligations (ex. documents which can't be printed or stored) and promises (ex. users committing themselves not to print the documents) should be taken into consideration in the white paper as security measures in addition to the technical measures described in the paper;
  • the number of pages should be limited to a maximum of 60 so as to still be readable for general audience;
  • chapter 7 should point out alternatives as to where IHE could go next in the area of access control without describing them into details.


Publish / Subscribe

Presentation of the outline of the pub/sub profile

Discussion of how to bind abstract publish/subscribe model to a explicit use case based profile.

  • Each use case as an option within the pub/sub profile
  • Each use case as a conent profile that binds to pub/sub as content creator and consumer (XDS model)
  • Abstract profile which requires a binding to a concrete profile in order to be implementable
  • Put common transaction information in an TF appendix and reference from concrete profiles. (Web Services Appendix model). This is ammended later to put the common material in TF-2 Chapter 4.


Multi-patients query

Presentation of the current draft.
Discussion about the scope of the profile. The committee agrees that:

  • combination with XCA is out of scope of the MPQ profile, however, the cross-community use case should be kept in mind so as not to develop a profile needing dramatic changes for extension to a cross-community environement;
  • use of BPPC should not be mandated but it should definitely be enable in order to check for consent (need of several linked multi-patients queries and/or queries).


SOA white paper

Reviewed ITI_SOA_White_Paper_Outline_ak_012109.doc.
Discussion of goal of white paper, outline and intended audience. Generated a list of concepts in SOA and concepts in IHE and the relationship between them, where it is appropriate.

January 27th Tuesday

Publish / Subscribe
  • Agreed to put common information in TF-2 Chapter 4 and use case based profiles would refer to the common parts.
  • Discussed number of supplements that should be produced, agreed to produce one supplement for now. Re-assess if other domains will be referencing the section in Chapter 4 this year.
  • Agreed that XDS publish/subscribe would be named Document Subscription (DSUB).
  • Discussed whether to include a publish transaction.
  • Discussed content of notify.
  • Discused potential that publish transaction should be identical to notify transaction.


Joint session with RAD

See minutes in Radiology domain.

CP processing

See January 27 CP Processing Minutes

Cross-Community Patient Identification (XCPI)

Reviewed potential transactions. Viewed potential transactions from the point of view of access to a shared patient id and no shared patient id. Looked at the processing load, interaction model for each.

Joint session with QRPH

RFD:
Discussion about RFD and the CP asking to extend RFD to other standards. It is pointed out that there will be a great uptake of RFD in the coming year consequently the issue of the underlying standards should be settled fairly soon.

Publish / Subscribe:
Présentation of the current state of DSUB profile.

January 28th Wednesday

Publish / Subscribe

Reviewed transactions publish, subscribe, notify. Comparing publish and notify, should they be the same transaction or different transactions.

Access Control white paper

Review and discussion of the current outline and evaluation of the number of pages for the white paper.

CP Processing

January 28 CP Processing Minutes

SOA white paper

Presentation of the list of concepts in SOA and concepts in IHE and the relationship between them.
Review of the updated outline in ITI_SOA_White_Paper_Outline_ak_012809.doc.

Multi-patients query

Discussion about the use cases adressed by the MPQ profile (to be described in volume 1) and the structure of the queries to be used.

Cross-Community Patient Identification (XCPI)

Discussed potential transactions for use with and without a location authority. Look at hierarchy of environments to determine if transactions satisfy most environments.

January 29th Thursday

CP processing

January 29 CP Processing Minutes

RFD Discussion

Discussed putting a generic version of current RFD text to a chapter in Vol. 2 section 4. Clinical specific use of the generic RFD would be a profile within another domain. Follow similiar style as used for publish/subscribe.

Planning of T-con and next steps

Concluded that moving the May meeting would inconvenience as many as it would help. Given the lack of compelling reason it was decided to leave it at the originally scheduled timeslot of May 4-8.

Minutes Nov 18-19

November 18th Tuesday

Technical committee capacity

Review of timeline and capacity for the ITI technical committee.
The committee acknowledges that this year tight schedule will be an issue to include CPs filed after the European Connectathon in april in TF vol 6. An effort will be done to clear outstanding CPs before the American connectathon in order to be able to devote time for quick resolution of new CPs.

Considering the tight schedule and to further increase efficiency of committee work, the committee agrees to the following:

  • respect of the input and output of each face to face meeting;
  • for each work item, identification of an editorial team in charge of making sure that inputs are ready for each face to face meetings through reviews and comments;
  • for each new editor (i.e. with no experience in writing a profile or a white paper), identification of a mentor in charge of helping with editorial task (template, completeness of text, publication processes...).


As a reminder, input, goal and output of each face to face meeting are listed below:

First face to face meeting of the cycle (November 18th-19th for 2008-2009 cycle)

Input:
  • Detail proposal for each proposed new work items with a list of alternatives for the standards that can be used.
Goal:
  • Based on an analysis of the detailed proposals, to define recommandations for the coming cycle in terms of new work items.
Output:
  • Written recommandation to the planning committee.


Second face to face meeting of the cycle (January 26th-29th for 2008-2009 cycle)

Input:
  • For each work item, a document started with the proper IHE template properly applied;
  • For each supplement, a rough cut of volume 1;
  • For each supplement, a list of alternatives for standards to be used for the profile with strengthes and weaknesses of each alternatives.
Goal:
  • For each supplement, review of all the use cases and selections of the standards to be used in the profile.
Output:
  • For each supplement, an action plan to complete volume 1 through calls based on the use cases reviewed during the meeting.


Third face to face meeting of the cycle (May 4th-8th for 2008-2009 cycle)

Input:
  • For each supplement, volume 1 completed (reviewed at least twice by the editorial team prior to the face to face);
  • For each supplement, volume 2 fully written (each transaction described, security section written...) and ready to be reviewed by the committee (reviewed at least twice by the editorial team prior to the face to face).
Goal:
  • For each supplement, review of volume 2 and preparation for public comment publication of all work items.
Output:
  • For each work item, an approved document to be released for public comment publication possibly pending minor updates to be completed before the release date.

Fourth face to face meeting of the cycle (July 13th-17th for 2008-2009 cycle)

Input:
  • For each work item, a complete document updated with resolution from non-controversial comments (done through call(s) with the editorial team);
  • For each work item, an ordered list of non-resolved comments sorted by priority.
Goal:
  • For each work item, resolution of comments and preparation for final publication.
Output
  • For each work item, an approved document to be released for final publication possibly pending minor updates to be completed before the release date.


ITI Publish / Subscribe Infrastructure

Presentation of ITI Publish / Subscribe Infrstructure proposal.

Discussion about the scope of the work and the two part of this work:

  • specification of subscription, publication and notification messages;
  • content of the various messages.

It has been decided to divide the work item into a base profile specifying content neutral messages and a content profile describing the contents of the messages for the XDS.b publish / subscribe use case.
A possible work item for a future cycle would be a white paper discussing other use cases than XDS.b and guidelines to explain how the base profile could be used to satisfy those use cases.

The work item (base profile and content profile based on XDS.b) has been estimated as Large. See the assessment spreadsheet for a detailed assessment of this work item.

Cross-Community Patient Identification (XCPI)

Presentation of Cross-community Patient Identification proposal.

Discussion about the scope of the proposed profile and extension to include the case when a national patient identifier is available but there is a need to efficiently identify where the records for a particular patient are located.

This work item has been estimated as Medium to Large. See the assessment spreadsheet for a detailed assessment.

Cross-Enterprise Privacy Policy (XPP)

Presentation of Cross-Enterprise Privacy Policy proposal.

Discussion about the scope of the work item, the transactions involved and the appropriateness of defining the content of a policy. As no agreement was reached, decision and assessment has been deferred to wednesday morning.

Federated Service White Pages (FSWP) / Organization Registry (FOR)

Following the ITI planning committee face to face meeting, those profiles have been merged into a single profile renamed Federated Directory Service (FDS).
Presentation of Federated Directory Service proposal.

Discussion about the scope of the profile. Though directory services already are used on the field (based on various standards), it was reported that the "cross-community" functionality (a gateway forwarding a query it received to other gateways) is a new feature that hasn't been defined through any standard yet.
This work item has been estimated as Large. See the assessment spreadsheet for a detailed assessment.

Multi-stored Query - Multi-patient Queries

Presentation of Multi-stored Query - Multi-patient Queries proposal.

Discussion about the scope of Multi-patient queries and which meta-data are needed. It was adviced a as start in the field of multi-patient queries to apply the use cases to the findDocuments query and identify the modifications needed.
This work item has been estimated as Small. See the assessment spreadsheet for a detailed assessment.

Use of pseudonymisation, de-Identification and Identification Protection Token in IHE white paper

Presentation of Use of pseudonymisation, de-Identification and Identification Protection Token in IHE white paper proposal.

Discussion about the scope especially stressing that:

  • pseudonymisation and de-identification may cover not only patients but also providers or even medical processes;
  • pseudonymisation and de-identification may be needed not only for privacy reasons but also for medical reasons.


This work item has been estimated as Medium. See the assessment spreadsheet for a detailed assessment.

Expanded SOA white paper

Presentation of SOA White Paper Detailed.pptx Expanded SOA white paper proposal.

Discussion about the scope of the white paper and the fact that defining architecture isn't in the scope of IHE. The committee stressed that, at first glance, IHE profiles and SOA may appear contradictory and that one of the main goal of the white paper should be to explain how IHE profiles might be used in a SOA environment. An update to the proposal presented as an outline for the white paper and including those considerations was asked for wednesday morning. Consequently the white paper assessment has been deferred to wednesday morning.

November 19th Wednesday

Cross-Enterprise Privacy Policy (XPP)

Consequent to the tuesday discussion, the authors of the proposal have proposed to rescope it as an Access control white paper proposal.

The committee agreed on the new scope as a good forst step in resolving the complicated technical issues on a topic that is often identified as a gap in IHE.
This work item has been estimated as Medium. See the assessment spreadsheet for a detailed assessment.

Expanded SOA white paper

Presentation of the SOA White Paper Outline.doc proposed outline for the SOA white paper which thesis has become "How IHE profiles provide an interoperability foundation for a SOA-for-healthcare approach".

This work item has been estimated as Medium. See the assessment spreadsheet for a detailed assessment.

Recommandations for new work moving forward

After discussion about the amount of work the ITI technical committee will be able to handle during the coming cycle, it had been decided to accept 5 work items (i.e. 2 to 4 profiles and 1 to 3 white papers). Two alternatives have been considered to reach a decision on which work items to recommand:

  • re-vote on each proposals to reach a new priorization and select the 5 top work items;
  • identify groupings of work items and vote on the various groupings.

After a vote, the second alternative (vote on groupings) has been selected by 8 votes versus 5 votes for the first alternative (re-vote on each proposals).

Identification of groupings has been made through proposals by committee members. All suggested groupings were accepted. The proposed groupings are:
Option A

Selected work items:
  • Publish / Subscribe
  • XCPI
  • Pseudonymisation white paper
  • SOA white paper
  • Access Control white paper
Deferred work items:
  • FDS
  • Multi patient Query


Option B1

Selected work items:
  • Publish / Subscribe
  • XCPI
  • Pseudonymisation white paper
  • SOA white paper
  • Multi-patient Query
Deferred work items:
  • Access Control white paper
  • FDS


Option B2

Selected work items:
  • Publish / Subscribe
  • XCPI
  • Pseudonymisation white paper
  • Access Control white paper
  • Multi-patient query
Deferred work items
  • SOA white paper
  • FDS


Option C

Selected work items:
  • Publish/Subscribe
  • XCPI
  • SOA white paper
  • Access control white paper
  • Multi-patient query
Deferred work items
  • Pseudonymisation white paper
  • FDS


The FDS proposal has consistently been proposed to be deferred due to its size and relatively low level of priority compared with other Medium of Large work items in the ordered list handed out to the technical committee by the planning committee. It was felt that once four Medium or Large work items from higher priority were selected, only a Small work item could be accepted.

The votes were cast as followed:

  • Option A: O vote
  • Option B1: 5 votes
  • Option B2: 3 votes
  • Option C: 5 votes
  • No abstain


As Option B1 and Option C had collected the same number of votes, it was decided to re-vote just between those two options.
The votes were cast as followed:

  • Option B1: 4 votes
  • Option C: 8 votes
  • Abstain: 1 vote


During discussion prior to the vote, the main arguments presented in favor of Option C were:

  • Pseudonymisation is not a core knowledge base of the ITI Technical Committee.
  • Access Control is a core knowledge base of the ITI Technical Committee and there is an external concern that IHE does not address security adequately. Some committee members felt that we must address that concern before it is too late.
  • Some members believe that some work on Pseudonymisation can move forward without the direct involvement of the ITI Technical Committee. In July the ITI Technical Committee will consider work on this White Paper as a late season activity, similar to the 2008 work on Metadata Versioning White Paper and the update to the Cross-Community Information Exchange White Paper.


The resulting recommandation will be communicated by the co-chairs to the planning committee by December 10th and a final decision will be taken during the joint meeting between the technical and the planning committee on December 17th.

Delivered to ITI Planning via email on December 1, 2008 ResponseToPlanning.pdf

White papers from previous years
  • Cookbook on security section of IHE profiles - the co-chairs will request a volunteer from another committee to be an example of how to apply this work.
  • Template for XDS Affinity Domain Deployment Planning - still fixing several problems with current version. Additional updates are being requested, we expect a new version early next year.
  • Metadata Versioning - for this season we will keep this as a white paper and revise as appropriate based on feedback. Except to move this to an official profile next year.
Change Proposals

Reviewed current slate at Open CPs. Agreed to have regular calls, scheduled two for January.
