Announcements:
- - A joint PC/TC meeting next week will introduce Planning and Technical Committee members to these projects. Manny to invite DMC participants.
Manny asked how best to show vendors that these benefits are important and desired.
- Julio: An ally in obtaining vendor purchases: middleware (interface) vendors.
- Michael: Use AAMI to promote the need and survey details.
- Steve: Noted that significant user participation and support is essential, and that user identification of the need and the benefits (financial, etc.) and priorities.
- Manny asked if Michael’s survey to a widespread audience would be useful (via AAMI, ACCE, 24x7, etc.).
- Julio noted that the FDA is pursuing UDI and the FDA might even be interested in this effort. Manny asked if The JC would be interested. Julio indicated that these organizations are unlikely to actively participate but might be interested or even willing to endorse the effort.
Michael and Monroe discussed the need for the ability to identify patients that had used the equipment (without the CMMS having PHI, but location and time). This would facilitate actions in response to recalls, patch management issues, adverse events where the device’s historical use as well as current location are important.
- Monroe described DEC and PIV profiles where the clinical data is associated with the patient. Because the RTLS’ accuracy is not provided there are limits to the potential benefits obtained solely through location.
Next Meetings
- - June 26 - Update for PCD Planning and Technical Committees
- - Meetings to develop the interoperable messages will be set following the June 26 meeting.
