PHRI+-+Communicable+Disease+-+Dec+16+Minutes


 * Date: December 16, 2011**
 * Name:** Communicable Disease User Story Harmonization -- Public Health Reporting Initiative Web Conference

**Meeting Minutes**
__Introduction__ Other working groups have developed powerpoint slides that show their vision for their domain. We will work on this powerpoint slide for communicable disease during this meeting. Shared a slide with example public health models for reporting.

Mike clarified the current working group process – the outputs of these domains will be very general and it may be frustrating if the nuances of the domains are not indicated in the current outputs. These nuances will be discussed in later months – the early documentation will be very high level, but we will get into the details later. Thank you for your contribution and please continue to stay engaged.

Nikolay shared the Child Health consolidated user story as an example. They added data categories in their slide – there will be taken specifically from your user stories. At the high-level, you may not see your specific stories, but the data categories/elements will be clearly described based on the individual user stories. Recap from past discussions: initially discussed only reports from EHRs. However, many user stories get information from laboratory information system. Additionally, many programs are interested in a bi-directional response. These should be considered as we develop the user story.

__Validation of User Stories (excel template)__
 * AHRQ – no one on the phone to provide clarification
 * PH Reporting – CDC – updates as indicated
 * Discussion about inpatient v. outpatient. This may exclude emergency departments or urgent care settings. Basically, this user story is meant to capture information from any EHR regardless of clinical setting. Included all identified facilities under ‘provider’ in business actors column.
 * SD Communicable Disease Surveillance – updates as indicated
 * Propose 2 stories – one to represent provider submission via online portal; one to represent submission from ELR
 * Because the online submission is not from an EHR it may be out of scope for this phase
 * This user story may be too unique to be considered during this standardization process; they would like to use a standardized form, but is probably out of scope at this point
 * Healthcare Associated Infections – updates as indicated
 * AHRQ Common formats – updates as indicated
 * Can this be merged with the HAI user story along common data elements? For the moment, assume out of scope but David/Marion will follow up with Lise later.
 * Lise will provide any updates to this story in the next few days

__Consolidated Communicable Disease User Story (powerpoint template)__ Updates to the powerpoint as indicated. The updated version will be posted to the wiki and feed into the consolidated use case for the initiative.

__Next Steps__
 * Report out to public meeting
 * Nikolay to work with submitter of 10 stories to discuss next steps (probably in January, 2012)
