 * Meeting Notes ****LIS Test Plan template follow up **


 * Rob Snelick requested to review some of the questions that were raised during discussions on the LIS test plan that was reviewed during the last Validation Suite meeting conducted, on November 1, 2011.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The first question was in regards to how to handle different profiles. Rob Snelick advised the group that we need to be able to account for the different profiles and currently, he is not sure what is the best philosophy for that. The test messages will have to change from Profile to Profile, but there is a desire to ensure that all of the test cases are reusable. In some cases, the IG itself will change in terms of the requirements depending on the data type.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The next question was in regards to CLIA compliance that Megan Sawchuck from the CDC raised regarding the EHRs in ambulatory settings and hospitals that will be overseen by an accrediting agency, and not CLIA. Ms. Sawchuck wants there to be a clear understanding as to what the true CLIA requirements and accrediting agency requirements are going to be.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">A request has been sent to the accrediting agencies and a response is pending. Rob Snelick advised that the initial thought on this statement is that the team is building a test plan and tool. It may be possible to separate where the requirements are coming from. Later, a tool can be built that will specify which requirements to use.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">It may also be possible to make it configurable in order to conformance profile. However, if it is not in the IG, and something optional and requirement from accreditation guide, then we have a problem. We are not testing anything optional. If it is not in there, then you should go back to the IG to advise IG. Megan requests direction on how to contact them to have added requirements.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">EHR Test Plan **


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Rob Snelick advised the group that the test cases here will mirror the LIS test plan. What will be displayed on the juror document is still being categorized. Once this has been completed, the validation of acknowledgement can be completed and is anticipated to be posted later this week so that everyone can review.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Rob Snelick advised that team that the one thing that a little additional time is needed is for the requirements for the set up for the EHR system. More precisely, what will they require for us to send this to them. This item is up for review and the slides relating to this issue will also be posted. These are some of the possible topics i.e. they may have to declare where they will be receiving info from. What other information about patient information will have to be pre configured so that the test messages can be exchanged?


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Ms. Sawchuck pointed out the some of the information listed here is not CLIA required. She continued by asking if the team was going above and beyond what the basic CLIA requirements were? Mr. Snelick advised that they are and that the goal of this document is to test the requirements of the IG.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">All hands questions **


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">One of the questions that were raised at the all hands meeting was the concern that the IG is continually evolving and trying to create test plan based on that is challenging. Is there coordination to make sure that the two stay in sync? Mr. Snelick advised that he participates in the development of that and thinks this is covered.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The plan is to move forward with the test plan as much as possible. Things will need to be redone as things in the IG change and there is no way around that. There will be a lot of open issues until they are resolved in the IG as we start to build this out, and build the data management spreadsheet. As issues are being identified, they are being routed to the IG so the communication is continual..


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Another concern that was mentioned is the location of the documentation. There was mention on slides referring to the vocabulary set for IG but, the participants were not sure where that document was located and the concern that it is being maintained was stated.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Rob Snelick advised that he would have the support team from LM conduct an analysis of what is currently in the IG, all tables referenced and all that have explicit values to ensure that there is a reference somewhere so that we know what those values are. At this point, there has been a comparison conducted and the color codes mean that there are differences and something may be missing.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Mr. Snelick asked Ms. Levy to review the current vocabulary list to ensure that it is accurate. He stated that there are some spots marked in red where clarification is needed from the vocabulary team and also to see if the vocabulary team bless it if it is the same or point us to the exact source of truth to make sure that it is not done incorrectly.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Ms. Levy advised that if the list that is being used is from version 2.5.1, then they already may have been reviewed but will review to make sure. She further stated that in terms of processing this information, there were some things that cannot be processed the way that they are written in tables. There is only a select number that the vocabulary team reviewed the rest were done at the F2F. She can highlight what the vocabulary team they did and can highlight the ones which were done by the IG work group.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Mr. Snelick advised that he will explain each row in the process and will send it to Ms. Levy by Thursday.


 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Next Steps **
