 * Outreach Activities/Review/Update Pilot Teams Ecosystem**

Joan reported outreach activities continue to call upon information for the web site. We are asking pilots to provide a description of their organization. The pilot group will continue to review the ecosystem. As new information is received the Wiki page will be updated accordingly.

There are requirements to locate Electronic Health Records (EHR) vendors for pilot participation; Jitin Asnaani and Bob Dieterle are actively involved in this process. Bob Dieterle reported new information continues to come in for EHR vendors as pilots and commitments are very close from various organizations.

At this point, no new information is available for pilots selected to participate in HIMSS 2012 Interoperability Showcase. The expectation is that the information would be available shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Mary Kennedy reported there are several labs interested in becoming pilots and has confirmed a resource to participate.

It was relayed that some pilots’ teams have changed the organizations they will partner with.

Bob Lutolf reported that the pilots requirements are now baselined. One comment was posted on the discussion page by Cindy Johns that referred to the use of Unified Code for Units of Measure (UCUM). Bob Lutolf reported updates were made in response to Cindy comments and ready for review. Tom Boal also reported there are 2 links that refer to UCUM located on the Wiki page.

Comments were made in reference to OIDs where it seemed the way it was stated you are required to use it. The workgroup agreed if a pilot selects to do OIDs you must pick one but if no profile is available OIDs is not required.

Cindy Johns mentioned she is planning on reviewing the pilot requirements document with the vocabulary group to make sure everyone is aware of the document the pilot groups are using. In addition the description of Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) has also been expanded to follow what’s in the manual. Cindy will post the comments on the Wiki to further clarify the expanded definition for LOINC code.


 * Pilots Updates**

LabLynx
 * In the process of talking with system integrators and definitely will have a confirmation by next week.
 * Reviewed a sample HL7 message file that represents the format message required from Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and EHR.
 * Reported their organization may have an additional lab by next week.
 * Lablynx is planning on using the Validation Suite and XML format.
 * They are still continuing to work on their pilot charter.

MyHealth Access
 * Working through the logistics of getting message to EHR.
 * Kent Parkins indicated the current version does not have the capability of supporting HL7 v2.5.1 and has come to the conclusion that his organization must use HL7 v2.4 as well as utilize an outside integrator. Bob Lutolf questioned what problems will be incurred if the Lab uses a version less than 2.5.1. It was reported the Beacon Community does not use version 2.5.1. Kent will verify with Chuck in regard to more information related to this item.
 * Requirements for the outside integrator will need to be discussed further.
 * Kent mentioned a warehouse can distribute many different versions based upon the Lab.

Halfpenny Technologies, Inc.
 * Gai Elhanan is working on the expanded pilot brief and the proposal for EHR interface to avoid performing an upgrade.
 * Bob Lutolf reported the workgroup owes an answer on this proposal for pilots without EHR vendors as eco-partners.

Joan reviewed the outstanding action items and updated comments accordingly. The action items along with responses will be posted on the Wiki for review next week.
