Technical Framework: Proposed Revisions provide link to draft
 +
Todd led discussion noting that the major changes are in volume 3.
 +
Volume 1: Among the items discussed: The introduction attempts to bring much of what is common that existed in all volumes. There was a suggestion that volume 1, section paragraph 1 include a reference to devices as well as information systems. Later in the document there is a reference to content profiles; the suggestion is to use “content module” as used in CDA instead. Todd described the “data binding” concept also appearing in section 10. In section 2.4 there’s a suggestion that the product implementation section be moved to the introduction. Steve noted that binding (e.g., CT) will be described in volume 1 in the section referring to groupings.
 +
Volume 2: John Rhoads noted that the security considerations have been beefed up. Ioana noted that there needs to be a distinction between systems that have patient demographics, location or those that don’t have either. This will vary by profile. The location for raising the issue is likely most appropriate in section 2, volume 1. The specific security aspects (from no risk to high risk) would be addressed in each profile. Ioana suggested that the various levels be described in one place so that there would be references to one of these in a consistent approach in each profile. Todd suggested that this be located in section 2.2 and X.5 (for each profile) and potentially in the profile level (3.Y.n). Ken noted that there are broader security issues not related to IHE.
 +
Steve raised the question of making safety a visible element in the TF. PCD will recommend a separate section.
 +
Volume 3: Todd led discussion of the PCD volume 3.  Volume 3 will contain Rosetta, non-device and device content modules. Most of the existing PCD volume 3 will move to section 4 in the revised volume 3.
 +
Appendices: Todd described these, now all in one place. This includes a consolidated glossary. Appendix E addresses Standards Profiling and Documentation Conventions. Appendix F addresses Integration Statements. Steve questioned whether there has to be a commercially available product and a reference to the product version to have an IS. He noted that even if there is a version the delivered product may be a different version. PCD recommends a commercially available product be a mandatory requirement. Similarly, the document does not require final text (the profile may be a supplement). PCD recommends that the wording change to requiring that the IS identify the profile version.
 +
Test Bed for Company Testing: Steve led discussion. He noted that PCD has not provided detail of what it wants to accomplish with the availability of such a test bed. This is required for the discussion with the potential provider. Costs and logistics argue against the original idea, but there are alternative approaches to explore.
 +
User Handbook: This should be continued. Barrett suggested including an acronym spreadsheet or that they appear in the glossary. These can also serve as a reference as people go further.  Ken suggested that the handbook could lead to other materials.
 +
Stakeholder Survey: Discussion addressed the questions of whether a survey is worthwhile; would PCD learn from it, would those receiving it find value and possibly it would serve a marketing benefit as well. The quality of the survey is an essential element. ACTION ITEM: Manny will locate the earlier survey or draft, contact Ray. Barrett offered to help.
 +
RTM and DOD: A Webex will take place to orient DOD to the RTM.
 +
Promote RTM Including As Best Practice: This is to identify and promote value sets to developers. Ioana suggested these be organized by data specialization (e.g., those associated with a pulse oximeter and these would have an OID). 
 +
Marketing: Manny asked if there is a way to market RTM which in the process markets PCD. Paul suggested this is part of a larger set of tools, including the NIST tools. He compared this with the consumer devices that are readily available in the pharmacy. Paul described various benefits of use of PCD work to companies. Manny asked if it is a question of venue. Ioana suggested that the issue is the type of communication – too technical. Barrett suggested ECRI and MDBuyline would be useful channels – providing simple documents – general IHE PCD – that they can use and send to their subscribers. This would quickly be used in procurement documents. IHE has obtained help from RSNA’s web marketing staff. Monroe suggested asking purchasing agents where they would go for the information and then provide it there. Ioana suggested that the message can be simplified. Close this item, open one focused on those who are purchasing the devices.
 +
ACM Publication (Action Item 134): This will become part of Barrett’s AAMI efforts.
 +
ACTION ITEM: Update the IHE.net Profile list and the Google Doc index. Ask Steve Merritt if he’ll do this. Add RDQ, content modules as ITI does.

- Co-chairs: Monroe Pattillo, Steve Merritt
- Quorum: This meeting was promoted as a decision meeting. Quorum requirement (on site and via Webex (if participating) is 8; 10 are on site. Quorum requirement was met.

Steve Merritt reviewed the agenda, providing details and context for each item. He noted the IHE deadlines and indicated the hope that the PCD ballot can be closed tomorrow, meeting quorum requirements.

IP Patent and Disclosure

Steve summarized the IP policy and remined those present of their obligations. All present represented IHE member organizations. Discussion followed about the obligations of participants who are required to notify IHE if the work in process may be impacted by a patent.

Decisions/Issues: Agenda approved

2 Agenda Items
- As Noted
Status/Discussion:

Tuesday Morning and Afternoon

Roadmap: Monroe led discussion of the roadmap.

- Discussion of the “cycles” led to acceptance of the overlap of two cycles (cycle 8 will start with the brief proposals, cycle 7 will end at the HIMSS showcase). John Garguilo noted that PCD should attempt to follow the pattern of the other domains. John Rhoads noted that PCD was in sync with the IHE milestones in this last cycle.
- HL7 2.8: Monroe noted that ACM and IPEC are affected by 2.8. Todd noted that IPEC has an interest in 2.9. Todd suggested that there be a section in the TF that identifies version change impacts. ACTION ITEM: Develop a separate PCD section to identify and document the impact of HL7 version changes.
- ACM PCD-05 removal in order to permit ACM going to Final Text (FT). While there are recognized values in implementing this, the issues for vendors include having to redo risk management for the device. A CP will remove it, and it will be rewritten as a supplement so that it is available when vendors want to implement it.
- RDQ (Replaces ADQ): There is one RDR, one RDQ registered for the Connectathon. If tested it won’t be promoted as ready for the FT TF; it is likely to continue to evolve as well as not be sufficiently tested.
- ECM (General Event Communication): The nomenclature is being developed. IPEC will remain separate. A proposal will be added – and there is a quorum on site.
- DPI WP is actively in process, with re-affirmation likely.
- Device Device Integration (ICE, an ASTM standard): There are numerous dependencies that indicate this should be in cycle 9. If DPI is successful in cycle 8 then this may become feasible in cycle 9.
- Discovery and Association and other DPI: moved to cycle 8 from cycle 9. Device Control and Symmetric Communication remain.
- RTM: The constrained value set will be incorporated in volume 3 of the FT TF. Vent terms will continue under development into cycle 9. Coordination with ISO on ventilator terminology is one desired precursor. Continua has not been enthusiastic of NIST’s participation in the PHD terms. John Garguilo noted that terms approved by standards organizations (e.g., IDCO terms) are added to the tools. Additions: Events and Alarms, RTM migration to RTMMS added to cycle 8.
- Semantic Architecture (TF vol. 3) became available in cycle 7.
- Device Document Template¸vol.3: removed in favor of new item addressing coordination with other IHE domains for the TF document (Technical Framework Alignment.
- The new proposal Optimized Message Syntax is addressed in Cycle 9¸architecture.
- Coordination: Continua is working on RESTFUL architecture and other communications (pre-hospital transport, wellness and fitness) and interested in PCD ACM.
- Add message security and safety.

Status/Discussion:

IP Patent and Disclosure

Only one person had not been present yesterday and he was familiar with the IP policy. The portion of the meeting when Inhel was present did not include IP related items.

Technical Framework: Proposed Revisions provide link to draft Todd led discussion noting that the major changes are in volume 3. Volume 1: Among the items discussed: The introduction attempts to bring much of what is common that existed in all volumes. There was a suggestion that volume 1, section paragraph 1 include a reference to devices as well as information systems. Later in the document there is a reference to content profiles; the suggestion is to use “content module” as used in CDA instead. Todd described the “data binding” concept also appearing in section 10. In section 2.4 there’s a suggestion that the product implementation section be moved to the introduction. Steve noted that binding (e.g., CT) will be described in volume 1 in the section referring to groupings. Volume 2: John Rhoads noted that the security considerations have been beefed up. Ioana noted that there needs to be a distinction between systems that have patient demographics, location or those that don’t have either. This will vary by profile. The location for raising the issue is likely most appropriate in section 2, volume 1. The specific security aspects (from no risk to high risk) would be addressed in each profile. Ioana suggested that the various levels be described in one place so that there would be references to one of these in a consistent approach in each profile. Todd suggested that this be located in section 2.2 and X.5 (for each profile) and potentially in the profile level (3.Y.n). Ken noted that there are broader security issues not related to IHE. Steve raised the question of making safety a visible element in the TF. PCD will recommend a separate section. Volume 3: Todd led discussion of the PCD volume 3. Volume 3 will contain Rosetta, non-device and device content modules. Most of the existing PCD volume 3 will move to section 4 in the revised volume 3. Appendices: Todd described these, now all in one place. This includes a consolidated glossary. Appendix E addresses Standards Profiling and Documentation Conventions. Appendix F addresses Integration Statements. Steve questioned whether there has to be a commercially available product and a reference to the product version to have an IS. He noted that even if there is a version the delivered product may be a different version. PCD recommends a commercially available product be a mandatory requirement. Similarly, the document does not require final text (the profile may be a supplement). PCD recommends that the wording change to requiring that the IS identify the profile version. Test Bed for Company Testing: Steve led discussion. He noted that PCD has not provided detail of what it wants to accomplish with the availability of such a test bed. This is required for the discussion with the potential provider. Costs and logistics argue against the original idea, but there are alternative approaches to explore. User Handbook: This should be continued. Barrett suggested including an acronym spreadsheet or that they appear in the glossary. These can also serve as a reference as people go further. Ken suggested that the handbook could lead to other materials. Stakeholder Survey: Discussion addressed the questions of whether a survey is worthwhile; would PCD learn from it, would those receiving it find value and possibly it would serve a marketing benefit as well. The quality of the survey is an essential element. ACTION ITEM: Manny will locate the earlier survey or draft, contact Ray. Barrett offered to help. RTM and DOD: A Webex will take place to orient DOD to the RTM. Promote RTM Including As Best Practice: This is to identify and promote value sets to developers. Ioana suggested these be organized by data specialization (e.g., those associated with a pulse oximeter and these would have an OID). Marketing: Manny asked if there is a way to market RTM which in the process markets PCD. Paul suggested this is part of a larger set of tools, including the NIST tools. He compared this with the consumer devices that are readily available in the pharmacy. Paul described various benefits of use of PCD work to companies. Manny asked if it is a question of venue. Ioana suggested that the issue is the type of communication – too technical. Barrett suggested ECRI and MDBuyline would be useful channels – providing simple documents – general IHE PCD – that they can use and send to their subscribers.
