 * __Discussion on How to Measure Success of LRI Initiative__**
 * The purpose of this meeting was to briefly touch upon outcomes of the last meeting and then determine how to measure success of LRI Initiative moving forward.
 * A method to measure success would be to follow up with those who participated in the informational interview and ask the same questions to compare differences in numbers. The question here is how many years is an adequate amount of time to get valuable information.
 * Group determined to follow up for 2 years after the first implementation would be appropriate to conduct these interviews. In the evaluation/comparison only the second year data would be included since the first year costs will be inflated due to research and development.
 * It was noted that the results that will be acquired during this follow will also be leveraged to develop and change the LRI Initiative processes within the S&I Framework if necessary.
 * As the RI and pilots efforts begin we can look at what needs to be corrected. The group is assuming that obvious and early corrections will be done in the RI and demo environment.
 * People who are recipients of the vendor solution should be able to contribute to a forum like a Wiki to put in issues and voice concerns.
 * The measure of a percentage of compliance of this new protocol at a certain point would be helpful in the efforts to determine true value; however, once again this brings up the issue in difficulty of measuring concepts like this.
 * There are groups that are nervous that they won’t have the time or the resources to remain 100% compliant to the requirements.
 * Three things drive compliance such as CLIA certification process, meaningful use adoption, market forces.
 * One option would be to look at the percent of new installs use the new standards. This would encompass both:
 * Success of implementation process
 * Penetration into the existing marketplace
 * Converting all the lab interfaces that are currently being used is another way of measuring compliance. The question to answer here is whether or not we want to extend the interviews past those who we have already conducted the interviews with.
 * Qualitative measures:
 * This group has talked previously about ways that they could qualitatively measure metrics.
 * “Alignment with current or future requirements” as an amendment to bullet number 7 in the Use Case
 * As the use case is currently in its published format, this update will be considered for inclusion in the next iteration of the Use Case.


 * Resolution(s):**
 * Group determined to follow up for 2 years after implementation but only consider the second year data. These recommendations will be incorporated into a long term approach for measuring success.
 * SWG members will review the qualitative data points for the LRI Initiative and determine if new metrics should be added. These outcomes will be discussed during the next meeting. Recommendations discussed in this meeting will be presented during an LRI Initiative Wide meeting.


 * Wrap-up/Next Steps:**


 * Support leads will pull the information discussed in this meeting and post to the Wiki. As long as the group agrees that it captures what was intended during this discussion it can then be shared at the Initiative Wide meeting.
 * Next meeting will be next week so as to not coincide with the face to face sessions.
