Meeting Notes
Lise Stevens reviewed comments captured provided by the community to date. Comments captured within spreadsheet, along with commenter, discussion notes, and proposed resolution. After review of a series of comments, and group discussion, it was agreed that the framework can serve as an iterative modeling tool as the Public Health Reporting Use Case and User Stories are identified and elaborated.
 * __1. Public Health IT Standardization Framework __**

It was agreed that Anna Orlova will steward the framework, and work with authors to resolve identified comments, and will continue to update the tool throughout the initiative.

Identified Action Items:
 * John Stinn will update the comment spreadsheet with outstanding comments
 * Anna Orlova will resolve comments with comment providers

Riki Merrick facilitated a discussion of User Story Selection, and guided the callers through the criteria document and comment tracking spreadsheet.
 * __2. Public Health Reporting User Story Selection Criteria __**

John Stinn provided perspectives of previous experiences with S&I initiatives. Some initiatives (e.g. Query Health) have used an approach where multiple user stories are examined to elaborate general requirements for standardization. As standards are identified and specifications (i.e. implementation guides) are drafted, one or two user stories are selected for demonstration and pilot. In this manner, all user stories that are drafted are important for information model definition and extensibility requirements.

Seth Foldy facilitated a discussion on the selection criteria, with a focus to identify any missing criteria. The following major criteria categories were agreed as important:

Seth Foldy walked through an example use case and set of user stories, based on a birth event. The group discussed the importance of getting similar user stories documented to consider in defining requirements.
 * 1) Stakeholder Interest and Commitment
 * 2) Relevance to HITECH Goals
 * 3) Standards Readiness
 * 4) John Roberts identified the need to add domain / program participation in Health Information Standardization Efforts
 * 5) Readiness for Deployment of standards based exchanges/ HIT products, with additional consideration for the feasibility to complete a pilot in time for MU Stage 3 definition.
 * 6) Generalizability of user story
 * 7) Relevance to PH and Healthcare

The co-leads agreed to develop a template to facilitate user story collection.

Lise Stevens reminded the callers that User stories will be considered within the month of November, with the goal of identifying candidate user stories for pilot.

Identified Action Items:
 * Initiative co-leads and Bill Brand will develop a template to facilitate user story selection.

Riki Merrick and Nikolay Lipskiy presented example terms and models. The group decided that similar to the Public Health IT Standardization Framework, this activity will be iterative in nature based on the elaboration of user stories, harmonization of standards and models, and other future initiative activities.
 * __3. Public Health Reporting Definitions __**

Identified Action Items:
 * Riki Merrick and Nikolay Lipskiy will identify first set of terms that need to be harmonized, and will present them on a future call.

Seth Foldy and Bill Brand discussed that the co-leads, JPHIT, and CDC have heard concerns about the initiative from the practice community. Issues include
 * __4. Communication / Outreach __**
 * The need to better understand initiative goals and timeline
 * Anticipated outcomes;
 * Member participation expectations
 * Use of the wiki (including better usability)

Identified Action Items:


 * Project Facilitation Team will work with co-leads to streamline wiki
 * Co-leads will work with Community / Outreach leads (Bill Brand and Mike Coletta) to develop communication materials to help provide clarity around different components of the initiative.
