Meeting Notes
//Presentation//
 * The Transitions of Care (ToC) initiative coordinator, Arien Malec, opened by emphasizing that the Harmonization workgroup should remain clinically focused, transition the work completed by the Use Case and Requirements workgroup (UCR WG) and learn from what is currently in practice.
 * Harmonization lead Erik Pupo introduced a strategic overview for Harmonization. He then reviewed the ToC Harmonization WG’s purpose, scope, objectives and timeline. Also, the methods for community participation, via Wiki and teleconference, as well as the S&I Framework consensus process were discussed.

//Q&A Session//
 * Concerns were voiced regarding the coordination of Harmonization across different initiatives (ToC, Lab Results Interface and CDA Consolidation). Given community feedback, the support team decided to address how achieve harmonization when the S&I approach is initiative centered.
 * Arien Malec clarified that Meaningful Use is being used as a prioritization filter for the S&I Framework’s Harmonization efforts.
 * Participants raised questions regarding the ToC Harmonization WG’s timeline, fearing they would not be able to reach an end product that is widely implementable.
 * The support team emphasized the approach of leveraging work from the past to achieve Harmonization. It was suggested that the Clinical Information Model sub-workgroup (SWG) examine prior work done by the Federal Health Information Model (FHIM) effort.
