Announcments

 * The Support leads will communicate any parallel work efforts related to Public Health Reporting so the WG is up to date on similar initiatives.
 * Query Health (previously Population Health Queries) is set to launch this fall.
 * A group has been tasked with providing recommendations to ONC related to Surveillan

Approach/Charter for the S&I Public Health Case Reporting Working Group

 * Key Discussion Points:**
 * The name of the initiative is up for debate – the WG members were tasked with thinking about what the name should be --- PH reporting or PH Case Reporting.
 * WG leads have identified areas outside of lab results that should be looked at by ONC.
 * Suggestions should have a MU focus but that doesn’t mean ONC won’t review other initiatives as well.
 * The group should focus on identifying a full picture of PH Reporting, identifying the Use Cases and standards that fall under this umbrella. From there the group should prioritize what they’d like to recommend to ONC to start considering.
 * If this approach is followed we run into the risk of not getting anything accomplished, we need to define a small scope, work towards a solution and address other pieces at a later date.
 * We need to make sure the appropriate individuals are involved in this discussion – the WG mainly consists of laboratory reporting experts. In order to ensure the priority is correct the group will need to be expanded to include other industry experts.
 * S&I Framework focuses on interoperability the group should make sure the resulting charter focuses on interoperable exchange of healthcare data to align with the program goals.
