Meeting Notes

 * __IG Update __**
 * The deadline for this round of ballot reconciliation is the 15th of November
 * We may need to go out of cycle again
 * Q: What about providing pilots with guidance? When can the Pilots WG use the document?
 * Ken McCaslin: Will have a document that has not gone through ballot; It won’t be perfect, but can still serve as a basis.
 * The basic structure is well known; Conformance changes are also pretty well known. Some other details will take a while and determining how we will put results in will be a bit of a challenge.
 * There is definitely still some work to be done; some pieces may need to be adjusted as a result of work on done pilots;
 * The group is still figuring out some conformance issues, but these should not affect software development.
 * Cindy Levy: There is a general reluctance to spend time and resources to validate the IG due to sections that might be changing.
 * Ken McCaslin: Project Managers want crystal clear requirements, but if we wait we won’t get anywhere. We may need to re-ballot in January and may even need a May ballot. The pilots are supposed to help us figure out the kinks in the IG. Hopefully we won’t have to deviate very much from the existing IG. The truth is that the pilot outcomes may in fact cause further changes in the IG.
 * Bob Yencha: There are actually sections in the IG where we have recommended waiting for the pilots.
 * There was a discussion regarding whether the pilots are production or informative.
 * Joan DuHaime: We are still moving forward with pilots; before we reach the final piloting stage we will want some more final data etc. There are some concerns around not having the IG ready have been expressed. Rob Snelick has stressed the importance of a final IG for completing the validation suites.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Bob Yencha is doing an analysis of the submitted comments in order to categorize them (some duplicates, not all are negative).


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Validation Suite WG __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Rob Snelick needs IG to make progress on the Validation Suite.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">PHINVADS/HL7 Tables à <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;"> Validation Suite will incorporate use of vocab to promote the use for the end user.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The Vocab group found that there were some PHIN VADS for specimens that were already adopted in certain fields, so we want to stick to them.
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Pilots WG __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Still pursuing pilots; mad rush to see if any LRI initiatives intend to meet the HIMSS October 26 Deadline (Wednesday 5pm).
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">There was some discussion around SNOMED and UCUM and whether it was critical to test these now. The understanding was that SNOMED did not need to be tested now, however clarity is needed around this.
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Next Steps __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Set up time with Jitin Asnaani and WG Leads to get official guidance regarding the IG and pilots, and in general to touch base on where initiatives are.
