Item	Topic	Discussion
1	Introductions & Agenda Review - Chair	Status/Discussion: The agenda was accepted. Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
2	Review Meeting Summaries - Chair	Status/Discussion: Decisions/Issues: Deferred Action(s):
3	Action Items Review - Chair	Status/Discussion: 55: Showcase Vendor Display Policy was the subject of significant discussion as a result of Capsule's desire to support a Stryker bed in the ICU, and possibly several additional devices including a balloon pump. Manny and Ken summarized the situation. Discussion identified these issues: - How to maximize interest in the story (e.g., adding a balloon pump). - How to provide parity between vendors. In this case Capsule, Cerner. - How to avoid dilution of the story. - How to avoid overly complex displays. - Satisfy space and time limitations in preparation and in the demo. More general issues include - It was noted that HIMSS will have to address providing sufficient space to accommodate all who want to be participate in the Showcase and have passed the Connectathon. - Need to address the potential participation of non-conforming systems that conform only because they are attached to middleware. Policy - For PCD issues that must be weighed in each situation that should be reflected in the policy include - Recruiting of additional companies. For the current issue defining what Capsule and Cerner should demonstrate - Capsule and Cerner should have parity, the devices and communications should support the story. - Manny suggested that we ask both companies for the minimal complement needed to display their actors and then optional additions to provide parity. - Ken suggested providing guidance in the sense of providing what we want. For example, Capsule might support a balloon pump and a bed. We need to limit the devices Capsule and Cerner provide. Ask what they will support (bed + one other) to be reviewed by cochairs for relevance, time and space requirements. Policy: - Steve is continuing to work on policy. He asked if there should be a priority order for PCD members to select the devices they want to show. Todd suggested that preference will be given to IHE members. - Steve asked about resolution process if there is a disagreement. The cochairs recommended that this be the cochairs responsibility unless the issue required a vote of the PC. - Todd reiterated Ken’s suggestion that we have to balance multiple priorities and desires. For example, recruiting new members, extending profiles, new directions, supporting the storyline, etc. 57: Lisa was to talk with Didi about the Governance document, but no response to date.
