140	Assemble the Baseline Set of Standards for Easy Reference	Ioana	John Rhoads	April 29, 2015	OPEN	Oct. F2F 2012: Assemble the baseline set of standards used by PCD, providing the complete stack or dependency standards/specifications (or pointer to that set). Ioana's suggestion relates to a new user perspective - trying to dive into the specs - what looks deceivingly simple, is not, with layer upon layer. Is this the responsibility of the MDICC? July 10, 2013: John Rhoads announced that HL7 now makes it possible to view their standards for no cost. Monroe noted that the cost for IEEE standards is prohibitive for new and small organizations.

Nov 19, 2014: Change due date to Dec TC call. Dec 3, 2014: Do we need a higher level document to reference easily? RTMMS addresses a lot of it. Prometheus tools may do that as well. Building another spreadsheet to maintain may be self-defeating. Seems to overlap with cross domain specs. Refer to AI 140 comments for this item. Set date to Feb 2015. Feb 11, 2014: Should be able to close this at same time as 140 is. Set to Face to Face.

150	Seek null flavors in HL7 2.9	Doug, Ioana		Mar 4, 2015	OPEN	Oct. F2F 2012: For PCIM these could indicate the known missing identification.

Not currently in gazelle. Change Due date to Dec 17, 2014. Have validation in pre-conn tool. Will ask for EUI or DNS for registration, prefer 1st 24 bits of EUI (OUI). Will pre-populate as much as possible. Do large organizations, are the 1st 24 bits across whole organization? It depends – patient monitors yes, but mass produced have different. Different business units can have different OUIs, depending on history. Each user will need to enter their info. Change date to January. Jan 7, 2015: Built into Pre Conn configuration page. Mostly done, could use some enhancements. Look at EUI-64, validating 24 bit now. Epic – don't look at EUI-64 specifically; it's used, but not required. Supposed to serve as a stable device ID. Discussion of topic and need for this specificity. Move to PC/TC call. Jan 21, 2015: Change date to February.
