 * Date: December 9, 2011**
 * Name:** Communicable Disease User Story Harmonization -- Public Health Reporting Initiative Web Conference

**Meeting Minutes**
__Overview:__ Reviewed the S&I Framework User Story Outline. Walked through the powerpoint on the construction of the ONC S&I ToC Use Case. Also reviewed the powerpoint high-level outline for the consolidated user story. We need to go through each user story to map to this outline and verify User Story components. Communicable Disease User Stories will be consolidated using these artifacts.

__Review of User Stories:__ Edits were made to the excel template for User Stories as discussed on the call. This template will be posted to the wiki.

There was discussion about how to harmonize syndromic reporting with communicable disease reporting. This may be challenging given the differences between the two methods of reporting.

Clarified that scope of this effort is the initial report from EHR to public health agency. Anna Orlova recommends that laboratory-exchange initiatives are not in scope as they are not EHR to public health. This discussion is tabled for later.

Oregon User Story may be broken down into 2 user stories: one for initial report and a parking lot story for the bi-directional component.

It was noted that the “Hospital Infection Preventionist” might be an important actor for any reportable disease User Story.

May want to discuss Death Certificate/Vital Records receipt with NCHS as it is applicable to Child Health as well. Do these come in through EHRs?
