LRI+Public+Health+WG+Meeting+Minutes+2011-4-27

include component="page" wikiName="siframework" page="LRI Header"
 * 1) Define clear milestones and scope for outlining the public health reporting requirements.
 * 2) Discuss the objectives of the WG.
 * __**Identify gaps in the current set of requirements for public health.**__
 * __**Definition of a roadmap for harmonizing the IG selection for ambulatory laboratory reporting with the current HL7 Public Health IG.**__
 * __**Outline the path forward with clear milestones that will harmonize the laboratory data exchange between public health and clinical care with the Lab Reporting Interface specification.**__

Principles

 * 1) Reuse is critical- for both the use case and implementation guide we should reuse existing Public Health requirements and existing Public Health Implementation Guides.

**Assumptions**

 * 1) The Public Health IG is already harmonized to the HITSP IG.
 * 2) The Public Health IG is not harmonized to the ELINCS IG.
 * 3) The scope of this WG is limited to the meaningful use requirement for public health reporting by laboratories.

**Open questions**

 * 1) Do we reuse an existing use case (such as the AHIC Public Health Reporting Use Case) or do we reuse the current Ambulatory Lab Reporting Use Case? Are there other requirements (such as NIST-specific requirements) that we can reuse?
 * 2) If there is a well-defined use case that everyone likes, can we call for consensus, adopt it and move to harmonization? Or do we need to review these requirements in detail (by documenting them on the wiki)?
 * 3) Are there certification implications to adopting a specific roadmap for public health reporting? (NIST and ONC)
