PCD MEM 2013-03-22
Patient Care Device Domain - Medial Equipment Management Working Group
Meeting Purpose
Develop a Demonstration at AAMI 2013 conference to showcase messaging between devices, CMMS, alarm management/phones
Meeting Information
Topic: PCD Device Comm at AAMI
Date: Friday 3/22 at 11:00A EDT (NY Time)
Duration: 60 minutes
Proposed Agenda
- Explain the long term goal, history, available links
- Describe the goals of this first AAMI demo (indicate feasibility, generate interest and involvement of vendors, users, etc.)
- Identify minimum requirements for the demonstration
- Determine if the minimum requirements can be met by at least one device, CMMS, and AM
- Seek volunteer(s) to develop a poster and help with the handout to include a few sentences and a link to a Wiki page
- Develop wiki page
- Design and provide an 8.5 x 11 “poster” for display in vendor booths “we support IHE PCD” or something similar. This may be useful across the PCD membership.
- Which companies are willing to continue the effort and develop the transactions and Rosetta terms
- Determine if the existing Friday 2PM Webex time is acceptable or a different time is required to continue this effort
- Determine if simultaneous effort on the larger goals should begin before AAMI
- Webex describing the work accomplished to potential participants in advance of the AAMI meeting with an invitation to join and be able to tell visitors at AAMI that they have committed

Discussion
Next Meeting
-: Steve described the work in the past and pointed to some links to gather more information on this work -: Manny described his idea to have a device be able to send information from a device to a CMMS vendor -:: EQ2 has volunteered to work on receiving the messaging from a device or system -:: Would also like to show interoperable messaging from RTLS to EQ2 -:: The goal would to showcase this at the AAMI 2013 conference -:: This would raise the level of interest among the vendor community and biomedical/clinical engineering community -:: Jim asked who our audience should be -::: Need a clear mission going into the conference -::: Steve expressed that from a user perspective a demonstration showing some sort of interoperable messaging will generate excitement in the community that this can be done. Then we need to harness that energy to further develop the MEM profiles by solidifying the use cases and getting more vendors involved to solve the use cases with technical approaches. It could then be incorporated to the IHE process with Connectathan and formal Showcase opportunities. Users could then incorporate the profile as a requirement during the technology evaluation process. -:: Need to develop the storyboard to show the benefits of this work -: We need to know who is on board for this demonstration and set up subsequent discussions to determine how to accomplish -: Suggested use cases -:: Device utilization -:: Technical Alarms -: Systems volunteering -:: CMMS - EQ2 -:: Covidien - Pulse Ox -:: B Braun - Infusion Pump -:: Awarepoint - Location system -:: Philips - Event Management -:: Cerner - Pump programming
-: Actions -:: Develop use cases and storyboard -:: Develop messaging to show the solutions -:: Develop posters for demonstration
