**Meeting Minutes**
The Workgroup (WG) is continuing to reach out to a number of candidates on a regular basis for LRI Pilot initiatives. A meeting is scheduled for tomorrow to reach out to Lab Lynx, Inc. and CAP. In addition another meeting is scheduled with Atlas tomorrow which is very exciting. In additions discussions continue with My Health Access. The WG is collaborating with Mark Bamberg who represents Med Fx and working toward engaging his company as a pilot. Efforts also continue to bring representatives from Beacon communities and to also establish which day of the F2F they will attend. A complete integrator plan is being developed that is geared toward pilot activities to show organizations and how they can partner as an EHR and LIS from coast to coast. Will Ross and Jitin Asnaani are working in collaboration to bring aboard new pilots.
 * Outreach**

Progress continues to produce a ‘What in it for me type document’ to show the value of becoming a pilot.

Dr. Bob Coli reported he is still waiting to hear back from potential pilot organizations in Rhode Island and will continue to follow up on these opportunities.

Cindy Johns relayed LabCorp is discussing internally to come to an agreement on providing a pilot.

It will not be required to participate in the Connectathon in order to be part of the HIMSS conference. This information is also available on the Wiki.

The marketing information in terms of benefits and why organizations should get involved as a pilot will be available in a few weeks along with the Charter information.

A final version was submitted for ballet. All references to optional fields were removed.
 * Implementation Guide**

Joan noted the majority of the open actions items were closed except for the Outreach efforts (item 2). There are two types of action items the group will review moving forward; one for Workgroup use and the other for tracking pilots.
 * Action Items**

The timeline was expanded to add full milestones and is available for review on the Wiki site. We also added a few milestones under pilot configuration to qualify further. This is a general guide and we plan to customize the timeframe for every pilot. The HIMSS /Connectathon milestones will be added as well indicating ONC will not require participation in the Connectathon in order to be a part of HIMSS. This timeline is on the Wiki for review and please provide any feedback you may have.
 * Timeline.**

Cindy Johns took an action items to go thru the list and capture everything in the Vocabulary WG and incorporate any missing details into the appropriate sections of the pilot guide. Cindy also mentioned it is important to recognize that in the routine/ambulatory laboratory setting, the laboratory information system is most often referred to as LIS instead of LIMS. Joan asked that everyone review changes to the following sections and provide overall recommendations for the guide:
 * Pilot Guide**
 * Pilot Configuration
 * Level and stages of Pilots
 * Success Criteria

Robert Snelick is depending on test data being available for the Validation Suite to test conformance to the Implementation Guide. The source is not known at this time although Elinks received its test data from Quest.
 * Test Strategy**

Bob informed the group if we develop the test data all expected results will be known because it will follow the HL7 format. It was also mentioned tests should be similar for different labs although the messages may report the output differently based upon the result format ex. Short Text or PDF. In term of Logical Observation Identi f iers Names and Codes (LOINCs) there will be a table with categories of data; this item will be discussed further at our next meeting.
