4	HIBCC Bar Code/RFID Device Identification - Todd	Status/Discussion: Todd provided background, introducing IHE as a standards-based organization but not an SDO. He described the HIMSS Showcase, PCD, and PCD’s earlier discussions about wristband ID. Bob indicated that they have been in contact with FDA and HIBCC’s standard is one of two that will probably be part of their forthcoming UDI guidance. They are recognized by CEN and IEC. Kirk indicated that the ANSI/HIBCC standard addresses IDs for patients, medications and devices and supports drug delivery. HIBCC has largely been supporting supply chain issues. Apparently, barcoded patient wristbands 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 bedside. 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. Information is at www.hitsp.org. Todd indicated that ITI or PCD would be the best point of engagement within IHE for HIBCC. Todd will engage IHE leadership to confirm the best fits.:* PCD cochairs and HIBCC will continue to explore ways to collaborate. PCD cochairs and HIBCC will continue to explore ways to collaborate. Todd will send HIBCC a list of references for background information on IHE and specifically the PCD. We should also obtain an organizational overview slide set from HIBCC for use in promoting within IHE. The two groups will coordinate electronically by the end of next week to set up any subsequent meetings and action items. After the HIBCC representatives left the meeting, discussion of device identification: 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.
