**Meeting Minutes**
__**HIMSS Update:**__
 * Seth Foldy gave a number of presentations that were well-received at HIMSS
 * Takeaways
 * Vendor community - had the most public health vendors and EHR vendors
 * Made clear to them that they are free to join and become part of the initiative
 * Fairly strong indication that unless there is a strong business case, implementing such a reporting strategy across all of the EHR that are affected by meaningful use, there would likely be a fair amount of resistance. A strong business case, demonstrating positive return on investment (including some reduction of workload for the healthcare provider and some degree of public health benefit), may allow for a high level of acceptance for such a product in stage 3
 * Vendors did not seem to have strong feelings about a format - either HL7 or CDA
 * Any reduction of complexity would be very well received
 * Visit [] to check out the stage 2 CMS NPRM and ONC Proposed Standards and Certification documents


 * __Use Case Document__**
 * Support staff will post a final draft by Friday, March 2, 2012 and email members that it is available for comment
 * This draft addresses the edits/comments provided by initiative members thus far
 * Final round of comment will wrap up on March 9
 * This document will include the glossary of terms relevant to public health reporting and the use case produced by the definitions sub-workgroup
 * Definitions sub-workgroup update
 * Group has finished going over the public health related terms
 * No future meetings are currently scheduled, but may re-convene as needed
 * Outstanding question about the title of the use case ("provider-initiated" vs. "initial")
 * Co-leads will propose a decision to the initiative in next week's call


 * __Data Mapping Sub-Workgroup__**
 * Workgroup has been renamed to the "Data Mapping" sub-workgroup rather than the "Data Modeling / Terminology" sub-workgroup
 * Scope and Goals will remain the same
 * Co-leads of the initiative have formulated a template and email to solicit data elemetns from user story submitters - due date for user story data elements is March 9
 * On the sub-workgroup call tomorrow, they will discuss the CSTE Common Core Data Elements and their mapping to the S&I Framework Clinical Element Data Dictionary (CEDD)


 * __Roadmap / Phase 2__**
 * Currently, we are starting the process of data mapping and functional requirements specification. From here, we will start planning for reference implementation and pilots.
 * We'll discuss readiness for pilots as a parallel activity to the data mapping.
 * Transitioning from the use case (starting public comment this week), we're beginning functional requirements / data element requirements / information exchange requirements and will begin analysis of different standards and identifying terms to add to the CEDD
 * In May, we'll target developing some implementation guidance and begin a pilot readiness assessment
 * Throughout these activities, Bill Brand and Mike Coletta will work with the initiative to foster and guide outreach and communication
 * Goal is to look at various audiences discretely and identify communication objectives and messaging for each, including implications of the work and the best way to get involved with the work of the initiative
 * Public comment process - look for an update in future calls
 * Functional (and non-functional) requirements gathering
 * The domain custodians will handle this requirements gathering and definition process, followed by some harmonization efforts.
 * Look for emails from your domain custodians as they begin the data element and requirements gathering process.


 * __Pilot Readiness__**
 * Need to define pilot - two general interpretations out there right now
 * Pilots that are currently being done that are related to our initiative
 * Pilots that will be done based on the implementation guide (to be developed) by this initiative
 * Will share a plan for comment with the Intiative to discuss how to approach Stage 3 and beyond (potential Stage 4) within the coming weeks
 * Would like to begin formulating a sub-workgroup to begin discussing and addressing pilot readiness and related concerns
 * Email Lindsay Brown (lrbrown@cdc.gov) if you are interested in participating
