3	Issues for Joint Meeting - Chair	Status/Discussion - Issues for this joint meeting: Validation vs. Verification Testing - or "yeah, we implemented the TF spec - but does it actually solve the problems identified in the profile's use cases?!" We are working on enhancing the V&V / conformance testing model that is used within PCD and to ensure that it is harmonized with what MDMs use in product development! One problem - multiple PCD TF solutions! The most recent discussion of this is around the use of either PCD-01 or PCD-04 to communicate event data (e.g., transitions in an med admin protocol, such as switching from a secondary/piggyback to a primary source). We need to take a look at the clinical work flow that can involve numerous profiles and specify when one approach should be used over another. Also we need to determine how best to capture these specifications and test for conformance (perhaps a Volume IV?) Profile Option Specification and Testing - this is a major issue with the existing Kudu tool that we must resolve as much as possible this year and hopefully even more next year. For example, saying you passed the DEC tests is not enough. Saying you passed the DEC-PIB is better. Saying DEC-PIB-PAM is even better. But then we sill have a "PAM profile" that we build to (IOW - not all of PAM is implemented). How does that work?! Also, there are some components that are too granular and may never be called out in formal option testing, but are very important to end users specifying and purchasing equipment. Perhaps we should consider "profile conformance statement templates" that could be provided say in the Users Guide. Keeping our House in Order - The Technical Framework, under revision and "clean-up", is currently embodied in two volumes. We have always planned on 3 (with Volume III focusing on Semantic Content), and now possibly Volume IV for composite profile clinical work flow scenarios). There must be consistency across all the volumes, though, and minimized or eliminated duplication of information. And how do you relate semantic content (Volume III) with transactions & encodings (Volume II) with clinical scenarios (volume IV). Decisions/Issues: Action(s):
