4	HIBCC Bar Code/RFID Device Identification - Todd	Status/Discussion: Todd provided background, introducing IHE as a standards-based organization, HIMSS Showcase, PCD, and PCD’s earlier discussions with wristband id. Bob indicated that they have been in contact with FDA and HIBCC’s standard is one of two that will be acceptable. They are recognized by CEN and IEC. Kirk indicated that the ANSI/HIBCC standard addresses IDs for patients, medications and devices to drug delivery. HIBCC has largely been supporting supply chain issues. Apparently, bar coded patient wrist bands are not commonly used in Australia or the US. Bob indicated that the IOM report on medical errors was the impetus for identification at the bed side. Bob noted that HIBCC has been involved in this area for 15 years. The current version has grown out of work with Partners/MGH. HIBCC has affiliates in Europe, with approximately 30% of new users from Europe, Turkey and Asia. Todd recommended that HIBCC join HITSP. Todd indicated that ITI or PCD would be the home for Bob asked how HIBCC can support PCD in device ID. PCD cochairs and HIBCC will continue to explore ways to collaborate. After the HIBCC representatives left the meeting, discussion of device identification: Companies may have OUIs, but PCD members likely have no idea who controls this. Companies use serial numbers and other internally developed device id. Vendor migration to OUIs, if not EUI-64 is a challenge for PCD. Paul suggested developing a white paper. Todd suggested a PCD Wiki page. Paul brought up Ken’s suggestion that a unique session number be added (an additional ID to the EUI-64) in communications. Todd noted that the TF will contain an annex addressing device identification. Decisions/Issues: PCD and HIBCC to discuss the issues via email followed by a future meeting. Action(s): Todd will be in contact with HIBCC.
5	PCD Elections - Chair	Status/Discussion: Manny referred to his email raising some questions on timing of elections, recruiting of cochairs. This will be placed on the agenda for the next cochairs meeting. Decisions/Issues: Action(s): Place on agenda for next meeting.
